Sir Winston Churchill who led Britain through the dark days
of World War Two famously stayed at the Exchange Coach House Inn at Brigg as
preparations were being made for D-Day.
The Prime Minister died on January
24, 1965 – aged 90 - and Brigg Blog thought it fitting to mark the forthcoming
anniversary of the great man’s demise by taking this winter picture of our Bigby
Street hotel.
Outwardly
it won’t have changed a great deal since Sir Winston paid our town a
visit.
He
was here to inspect top secret work being carried out by a company in Scunthorpe
involved in the complicated logistics that made D-Day a success for the
Allies.
