This being a Saturday in November, Brigg Blog is getting a shade nostalgic for sporting days long gone, but not forgotten.
Had today been a November Saturday some 20, 25 or 30 years ago, this building would have been the focal point of a very enjoyable day.
It was then the Queen's Arms pub, on Wrawby Street, and all four teams from Brigg Men's Hockey Club would be dropping by - probably before as well as after their matches.
Come the evening, player after player would dump his kit-bag (and stick) on the growing pile near the door on the right of the picture before venturing inside for a pint or three.
The Queen's was run by Jean Cunningham at the beginning of the period under review, later being acquired by Bob and Sue Nicholson.
Sue provided some very fine teas for visiting teams.
The pub later became speciality eatery The Fish Inn and was later transformed into a restaurant.
The Vines has not been open to diners for some time
