FLASH OF INSPIRATION

A happy group of drinkers in the Black Bull, on Wrawby Street, with landlady Amber behind the bar. We were approached by Ted Cook (right) to take the picture of him and his mates one recent Friday night. No-one has emailed us for a copy so we thought we'd post it on Brigg Blog. Not a great one of Ted, who seems to be resting his eyes, but a decent view of the others, including 'Geordie' Chris Robson (centre).
It reminds me of Millennium Eve 1999/2000 when 'yours truly' became an auxiliary member of the Scunthorpe Telegraph photographic department and toured Brigg pubs taking pictures of happy revellers for a special publication I was putting together.
Some characters of Brigg pubs (eg Lee Johnson) were caught on camera. The mood of the evening was summed up by a group of young ladies on the County Bridge who decided to add their own meaning to the term 'flash photography'.
There's no picture to show what we mean but the happy memory remains strong 10 years later!
You can still see a couple of them - the girls that is - around town from time to time. But they may not remember much about the night in question.
