BRIGG BEER GARDENS COMING INTO THEIR OWN

Further to our earlier post about Brigg pub beer gardens here are pictures of two of the best.

Those at the White Hart  (above) and the Nelthorpe Arms (below), on Bridge Street, are beside the Old River Ancholme.

On warm, sunny days they are favoured spots for enjoying a pint or two.

The Nelthorpe Arms beer garden includes Mary’s Tree, looking colourful at this time of year.

It is named after Mary Scanlon, who ran the pub for decades with husband Myles.

Many people in Brigg still refer to the hostelry as Scanlon’s.

PS: We took these pictures on a Sunday morning when both premises were closed. Just in case you were wondering about the absence of punters!
