| Brigg Market Place on New Year's Day 2014 - featuring the Buttercross (almost 200 years old). |
We've just been walking our beat around Brigg town centre. There's dedication for you on New Year's Day!
We were pleasantly surprised to see little litter and mess in Wrawby Street and the Market Place, other than evidence that a few people had, shall we say, parted company with their copious intake of beer.
Just one discarded can in the Little Buttery, a few paper streamers in Wrawby Street and an empty bottle near the Tintabs, near the Monument war memorial on the A18. Evidence of fast food cartons, but generally shoved into the litter bins provided.
We got soaked by the rain and blown about a bit by the high wind, but collected plenty of pix to share with you in postings on various topics over the coming days.
One New Year's Day in the 1970s we joined the bus in Cary Lane, provided by the Brigg Branch of the Grimsby Town Supporters' Club, and went to watch the Mariners playing Southend. Something kicked off, as they say, and most of the players got involved in a heated argument near the centre circle. It was quite a spectacle and one that's stuck in the memory all these years.
