UP AT AUCTION

Well-known business premises in the centre of Brigg failed to sell at auction.
The Monument Works site, on Bigby Street, had a guide price of £240,000.
The site formed part of Colliers CRE’s South Yorkshire Auction at the Magna Centre, Sheffield Road, Templeborough, Rotherham.
The lot comprised a single storey showroom and warehouse property with extensive glazed frontage to Bigby Road and loading from along Princes Street to the rear.
Would-be buyers were told a small area to the front of the property had been let for conservatory sales.
It remains to be seen whether a firm, or individual, comes forward to make another offer, or whether the site is included in a further Colliers CRE auction.
Older readers will remember when this was the site of W A Sass’s extensive garage, which included showroom, repair bays and petrol pumps.
The firm sold British Leyland cars, like Minis, towards the end.
After that, part of the site was taken over by a local business renting out videos.
