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.
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.
and the..Coach and Horses, eh?

ReplyDeleteHave you a photograph of the Red Lion? I am doing some research on Kate Graham, widow, Inn Keeper & later married to Alfred Wilson the landlord of The Talbot, Caistor.
