HOW MANY LISTED BUILDINGS ARE THERE IN BRIGG?

Brigg Blog thought it would be useful to answer the above question about listed buildings in the town, which has a Conservation Area covering a large area of the centre.
Listing a building or structure means it has been recognised as nationally important, the main criteria being architectural interest, historic interest and something called group value.
According to official figures, we have a solitary grade one structure and just one entry in the grade two* (star) section.
A further 71 buildings are grade two listed - mostly in the Market Place, Bridge Street, Bigby Street and Wrawby Street.
They include the Dying Gladiator, Nelthorpe Arms, Lord Nelson and White Hart pubs.
Perhaps the most unusual listing was afforded to the  mid-1930s telephone kiosk in the Market Place, close to the NatWest bank. View details here...
That's the one pictured above.
But the latest addition came in June 2016 when the Monument war memorial, beside the A18, was afforded grade two status.
It was dedicated on June 15, 1919. A couple of pictures taken on the day suggest that most townsfolk went along to watch the ceremony.

Brigg's only grade one "exceptional interest" building is our oldest survivor - the original 17th century section of what's now the Grammar School Road part of Sir John Nelthorpe School (nearest the road). View details here...
Brigg's grade two* structure is the Exchange Coach House Inn, on Bigby Street, constructed in the mid-17th century. View details here...
The star is only given to buildings that area "particularly important" and "of more than special interest."
What does it mean if something is listed?
In short, it offers official protection from change, alteration and (in extreme cases) demolition.
The local planning authority - in our case North Lincolnshire Council - must be fully consulted and grant listed building consent (with conditions attached) before any listed building can be touched.
More than 1,000 buildings and structures across North Lincolnshire are listed.
The Corn Exchange was never made a listed building and was demolished in the early 1990s by Glanford Borough Council, its owner.
