Can any Brigg Blog followers explain the origins of three street names in the town? Brigg Blog doesn't have the answers. Can you help?
St James Road (pictured above) and York Road were developed for housing as part of a sizeable estate running from Wrawby Road to St Helens Road, added in stages during the latter third of the 20th century.
Saint James, who died circa 44 AD, was one of the 12 Apostles and Grimsby Minster is named after him, as are a number of other churches in Lincolnshire. He's also the Patron Saint of Spain. But why remember him in a Brigg road name?
York is obviously the capital city of the only county larger than our own. But why it was chosen for a street in Brigg is also something of a mystery, as is the Wellbeck Close cul-de-sac.
Nearby streets are easy enough to explain....
Churchill Avenue and Winston Way honour Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill, while Kennedy close remembers the US president. Both statesmen died in the 1960s.
Local geography is reflected in the names Ridge View, Wold View and Kettleby View.
Springfield Rise, Springfield Road and St Helens Road relate to centuries-old agricultural fields, while Holme Close and Kings Avenue remember local doctors.
Chapel Way, we suggest, should be Chappell Way - after a long-serving St John's Church vicar. Similarly, we have O'Hanlon Avenue (named in the 1960s after a St Mary's Roman Catholic priest) and Burgess Road (former Church of England clergyman). Messrs Chappell and Burgess both became Canons.
Yarborough Road reflects Brigg's connections with a major Lincolnshire land and property-owning family.

Nige....I thought you were a clever lad....St James...When the King John's Charter was granted in 1203..( and again in 1235 under tge auspices of Henry Iii, Brigg Fair was to officially start on the Feast Day of St James...25th July..
ReplyDeleteWhen the calendar changed from the Julian to the Gregorian in Britain in 1752, Brigg Fair moved to 5th August...although (in the RC tradition) the Feast of St James is still held on 25th July...so it could be legitimately argued that the 5th of August is an erroneous date.
In additiin, before St Johns was built (worth noting that James was the cousin of John)..Brigg had had 2 x Chapel of Eases....the original one was near the bridge...the other was on the site of St John's church...both were dedicated to St James..
During the Middle Ages pilgrimages to St James in Spain were second only to pilgrimages to Rome.
Here Endeth My Lesson...
Ps...Brigg Fair should last 3 days...which makes sense...no-one is going to struggle to a Mediaeval fair on foot, cart, horseback for something that last 8 hours.
ReplyDeleteIn addition, it was the usual custom to grant a fair charter on saints feast day...to the ordinary person a calendar was useless, but a feast day was in the annual cycle of the church events...
Ps x 2...There was a James Street in Brigg...off Engine St...demolished circa 1960
ReplyDeleteMaking an educated guess at Wellbeck..literally meaning stream from well....is there a relationship with a stream, or beck coming from St Helen's Well....its in that area..?

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...
