BRIGG TINTAB HAS NO 'S'

The Tintab in all its glory! 

BY-EMAIL FROM FORMER BRIGG MAN CLIFF TURNER IN NEW ZEALAND

I recently came across a reference to Tintabs and was astonished to find that the structure I knew in my youth has acquired an  "s". It was given to Brigg in the 1930s by a Mr Andrews, who lived just over the railway crossing on Bigby Road, and was always called the Tintab because an attached framed verse from the Bible contained the word "tabernacle" .

NF adds: For the benefit of general visitors to our site we'd better explain that the structure is near the Monument (war memorial) and gives people somewhere to sit and/or chat. It's also popular with those eating fast food late at night. Are we right in thinking that less beer and cider - canned and bottled - is consumed there than was the case a few years ago?
