SWEET MEMORIES OF OUR TOWN

There's plenty of interest to Brigg readers in the latest Scunthorpe Telegraph Nostalgia magazine, now on sale for just 75p.
A huge group picture of Brigg Grammar School pupils and staff from the late 1960s has been reproduced, in sections. Among the faces to spot: Brigg solicitor Steve Baggott in the days before he forged his career in the courts.
There's a comprehensive feature on Brigg Sugar Factory, with some lovely archive pictures, and a colourful painting showing trainspotters long ago waiting for a steam loco to arrive near the Bigby Road level crossing.
Snap up a copy, and why not get a second to send to an ex-Briggensian friend or family member who now lives away from the area?
