SIMPSONS IN BRIGG BECAME A HOME-R!


Our recent post featuring retired Brigg shopkeeper Eddie Instone's interesting memories of various grocery businesses from past decades was very well read.
Brigg Blog follower Steve Brumpton contacted us about Eddie's reference to the Newlands housing  estate 'corner shop' once owned by Coun George Hewson.
Steve says this shop on Colton Street was still open in the early 1980s, being close to the junction with Ash Grove.
"The entrance door was on the left-hand side, and it was a small shop with just a single aisle down the centre," he recalls. 

"The counter was on the right, and a there was freezer (stocking my then-favourite – mini milks) amongst the shelves on the left, about half-way along. I’m pretty sure that the shop was referred to as Simpson’s."
Steve says it was acquired by a family after closure as a shop and the front was rebuilt to remove the doorway and shop window. The garden wall was extended to encompass the area in front of the old shop.
"It’s the single-storey extension which is still there," he adds.
Steve has helpfully provided this Google Maps link to explain...
Also popular was another blog post on a similar theme - the 20th anniversary of the closure of Turner's butchery business which served its last family recipe Lincolnshire sausages made on the Queen Street premises in early April 2000.
A number of people posted appreciative comments and memories of the shop after a link to our story had been shared on Facebook.
Clearly, like us, many locals still miss Turner's, which could trace its roots back well into the 19th century.
Even now, Christmas is not the same without a Turner's pork pie on the table!
We'd like to feature pictures of the Newlands grocery shop and others of Turner's in its prime if anyone has some to share. Please email scoopfisher@aol.com if you can assist.
With apologies to Matt Groening for the above headline!

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...
