BRIGG PUBS & HOTELS OF THE PAST: HOW MANY DID YOU FREQUENT?

 

Brigg Blog was asked a question in a bar at the weekend about two old pubs in the town centre.
We were able to give the locations of the Red Lion and the Butcher's Arms.
And that set us thinking about other hostelries Brigg has lost:
Ancholme Inn, Grammar School Road - pictured top: This circa 1960 pub with its large function room was knocked down to make way for new homes.
Queen's Arms, Wrawby Street: Turned from pub into restaurant, initially the Fish Inn. Later  became The Vines. The building is still there but no longer an eatery.


Brocklesby Ox, Bridge Street - pictured above: Demolished with town houses built on the site.
Angel Hotel, Market Place: After closure it was acquired by the council and turned into offices, today also boasting a cafe, library and heritage centre.
Black Bull, Wrawby Street - pictured below: The Wrawby Street hostelry was transformed into today's popular Dexter's ale house/restaurant.
Brigg Snooker Club: Not a pub but a popular venue, housed in part of Layne's Garage on Bigby Street.
