HAS BRIGG HERITAGE ITEM BEEN RESTORED?

White undertaking a spot of much-needed digital housekeeping of images in our archive the other day, Brigg Blog came across this picture taken at the town's railway station a couple of years ago.
It shows the new footbridge and the Victorian cast iron structure it replaced - by then removed from the platforms.
At the time we thought the old footbridge  was going for scrap but later heard a suggestion it had been safely removed to a one of the heritage railways, with a view to restoration and re-use.
Heritage lines rely on volunteer labour when it comes to restoring rolling stock and trackside features, and restoration work is often a very lengthy process.
But it would be good to know whether they have yet started on this piece of Brigg railway heritage, thought to date back to the 1890s.
Hopefully one day it will be possible to visit the heritage railway and use the former Brigg footbridge to board a steam-hauled train.
