This notice in Martin's shop window in Brigg town centre reminded us of the good work done down the decades by youngsters delivering newspapers in this locality.
The sign announcing that this Wrawby Street shop now delivers papers in the village of Wrawby reminded us of Christmases Past when a certain paper boy from Richardson's, who shall remain nameless, delivered morning papers to addresses in Glebe Road, Woodbine Avenue, Hawthorn Avenue, Preston Drive and Wrawby Road, as far as St Helen's - right on the Wrawby border. It was a difficult pedal up the long drive to the imposing detached house, in its extensive grounds, set back from the A18. One year in the late 1960s we recall receiving a very generous tip from the owner.
