LAST LOOK AT THE OX

This picture shows the former Brocklesby Ox pub on Bridge Street yesterday (Sat) afternoon, almost completely demolished. Another few days and it will only live on in people's memories.

PS: In this era of "elf and safety" and with the season of goodwill on the horizon, we'll offer a free tip-off to highways staff at North Lincolnshire Council. While taking this picture from the other side of Bridge Street, we kept hearing loud clanking sounds as vehicles sped by. Eventually it became obvious the noise was car and lorry wheels hitting a sizeable metal cover in the middle of the carriageway, close to the fishing shop at the top of Kiln Lane. If the cover gets dislodged, there will be a big hole for wheels to land in. It really needs someone to pop down and have a look.
