We understand the long-closed Dying Gladiator will be re-opening its doors to the public late next week after refurbishment by the new owners.
Ahead of that, Brigg's first citizen, Town Mayor Coun James Truepenny, has been given a guided tour/sneak preview of the Bigby Street watering hole. "And it looks very good" was his conclusion.
Some weeks ago, Brigg Town Council wrote to press for the historic sign/statue above the door to be be renovated, and the Town Mayor suggests the new owners have already been in touch with Lincoln University about it.
Brigg Blog hopes to bring you more on the Glad's grand reopening in the next few days.
1.11pm Saturday: Just been down to the Gladiator and the front door is still boarded up, with no sign of a notice announcing the opening date. Further to the earlier post about Sargeant's bitter, we gather it went on sale in the Black Bull last night, rather than today as originally suggested to us.
I can remember the times when pubs had solid doors and windows with very heavy curtains.
