STORE OF MEMORIES SPRING TO MIND FROM THIS BRIGG VIEW


This lofty view along Spring's Way in Brigg features two buildings constructed in the late 20th century and another dating from Victorian times.
The white-painted block with the pantiled roof on the left once belonged to the renowned Spring's preserves factory, which closed during the 1970s.
Conversion of former warehousing to create what we now know as Spring's Parade took place during the early 1980s.
Construction of a purpose-built supermarket by Hull-based William Jackson/Grandways) came in 1980/1, these premises today being occupied by B&M (centre of picture).
Tesco's Brigg store was built during the following decade, occupying the site of the former stockmarket.
Lidl operated what's now the B&M store by the riverside until building new premises near the top of Atherton Way, pictured below.

    But who actually owns Springs Way?
    One side believes it belongs to the Council: the other side believes it belongs to Tesco.
    When it was proposed to build a new Tesco store (which never materialised), the plans showed a grand Tesco entrance with the junction between Springs Way and Cart Lane....but the rest of Springs Way was not included within the boundary of Tesco.
    Another road muddle....like nearby Market Lane?
