Brigg Blog regrets that, in the latter half of the 20th century, we failed to photograph many shops, streets and buildings in the town, to provide a lasting record of how things used to be and how much has since changed.
Perhaps some of our followers today can help fill gaps in our archive, bearing in mind any copyright restrictions that might apply to the images.

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...
ReplyDeleteI never believed in life that I will be cured from herpes virus on till I found this great herbalist doctor called Dr Lucky with his herbs. my doctors said Herpes virus do not have medical cure because the virus is capable of hiding within the human cells, it remains protected from your immune system. Herpes isn’t a special virus – your immune system has the tools to fight it back. Cure your Herpes virus with affordable price. My doctor said there is no cure until i meet Dr Lucky This same doctor also cured my Aunty from hiv, as soon as i heard she had hepatitis, i quickly refer her to DR Lucky and she was cured too after drinking his herbs. I have referred more than 6 person to DR Lucky and they were all cured from their various illness.
