BRIGG GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL HAD AN EARLIER LOCATION

Brigg Blog recently posted a piece about the former Girls' High School, highlighting the stone tablet on the front of the building, off Wrawby Road, which carries the date 1936.
Cliff Turner, now 91 and resident in New Zealand, was living in Brigg at the time and emails us to say: "It is not exactly true that the Girls' High School was founded 80 years ago. It was previously housed in huts near the Vicarage in Bigby Street."
Therefore, Brigg Blog should have said the building (now housing the Sir John Nelthorpe Lower School) is 80 years old.
The foundation stone was laid in 1936 and the new building opened officially on 2nd November 1937 by Miss G E Hadow M.A (Principal of the Society Of Oxford Home Students).
Miss Lardelli, the Headmistress who was a driving force behind the plans for the new building, died in 1935 before it was opened.
