Distinctive circular blue plaques are displayed on some of the distinctive buildings within Brigg town centre. More than 30 plaques have been awarded since the mid-1980s by Brigg Town Council to mark praiseworthy restorations, refurbishments, additions to premises and (occasionally) new builds.
The Civic Award is presented in recognition of a feature "which is best considered to have improved the appearance of the town during the previous year."
Town Clerk Dinah Lilley has compiled a list of all the awards made year by year, usually presented at annual Civic Dinners.
Here we feature pictures of a selection of the winners, but there are more to be spotted as you make your way around the town.
The Nelthorpe Arms, pictured above, was a winner in 1984 (the first year of the scheme). Was this when its attractive beer garden was created, overlooking the Old River Ancholme?

FINALLY FREE FROM HERPES VIRUSI thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because life became meaningless to me because I had herpes virus, the symptoms became very severe and bold and made my family run from and abandoned me so they won't get infected. I gave up everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because the doctor told me there's no cure. I consumed so many drugs but they never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me making it worse. I was doing some research online someday when I came across testimonies of some people of how DR ADIGBA cured them from herpes, I never believed at first and thought it was a joke but later decided to contact him on the details provided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent me his herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after two weeks. Within 7 days of medication the symptoms disappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I was NEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you DR ADIGBA because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep on telling the world about you. If you are going through same situation worry no more and contact DR ADIGBA via dradigba@gmail. com or WhatsApp him via +2348077875210. he is good too to cure all type of disease and virus. 1 HIV cure 2 cancer 3 diabetes 4 hepatitis 5 herpes. You can contact if you are having any problem...
