| Queen Street, Brigg, looking towards Bigby Street |
Queen Street - within Brigg town centre and the conservation area - still retains much of its Victorian flavour, but with some new additions.
NFU Mutual and Co-operative Funeral Care have just taken space in the former Coleman's Restaurant building.
Queen Street's trees appear to be of similar size and age to those at nearby East Park. Late Victorian or Edwardian?

I understand that Brigg Town Council have expressed concern about the colour of the Co-op funeral parlour's sign, indicating the colour is not in keeping with the Conservation Area....
ReplyDeleteSo now, how does the yellow sign of the NFU appeal to BTC?
What exactly is the definition of a Conservation Area. I would suggest that 'conservation' means that the flavour and architectural integrity should be maintained, but doesn't mean that it has to be an exact copy of historical features....
The BTC's concerns are particularly askew when it seems to be applying the conservation notion to a building that was apparently built in the 1960's...
There has to be a mixture of commonsense and conformity......a good example being the BTC's own new Christmas lights.....following a conservation policy to pedantic level, when exactly did Victorians use festive LED lights?
