THE BRIGG TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGIN'

Brigg Bike Night 2015

It must be many years since Brigg has seen so many changes in such a short space of time.
Pub-wise the Black Bull has closed, ending a family association going back more than 30 years, and  the long-serving mine hosts at the Britannia are all set to retire.
Both these licensed premises are showing 'To Let' signs, as is the Woolpack, in the Market Place.
Meanwhile, the White Hart, on Bridge Street, shut briefly, only to reopen under new management.
Wetherspoon's has  revamped and relaunched the White Horse, offering food and drink at low prices. And what a talking point that has proved!
Long-serving town clerk Jeanette Woollard has retired, while May's Brigg Town Council elections saw a  number of familiar faces go and  newcomers take their places at meetings in the Angel Suite.
Brigg Bike Night has been revived and the first event proved a resounding success. Hopefully, it will go from strength to strength during 2016 and beyond.
Our police station, on Barnard Avenue, now has a new role and work is continuing to convert the building, which dates back to 1978. 
Latest businesses to come on the scene include a hairdressing salon in the former Lloyd's Bank premises and an ice cream parlour converted from the former fire station, on Wrawby Street.
