WELL SPOTTED

The ink wasn’t long dry on page two of yesterday’s Scunthorpe Telegraph when the colour archive picture of chalk-carrying barges in Brigg during the early 1970s prompted a phone call from a Barton man who reckoned he’s the chap on the deck.
Chris Horsfall, from Barton-Upon-Humber, said the boat directly behind the EcclesDavid was the Adlingfleet.
He was working at the time for Eccles Rivercraft, who spent two-and-a-half years shoring up the banks of the River Ancholme, between South Ferriby and Cadney bridge.
He was interested to learn the colour picture was taken in 1973 by keen amateur photographer Ken Fisher, father of the man behind Brigg Blog!
In case you were wondering, the picture was used to illustrate a story about barges, which are being suggested as a way of transporting straw to the proposed biomass plant at Scawby Brook.

A full report of last night's public meeting on the Brigg biomass power station planning application will appear in tomorrow's Scunthorpe Telegraph, and on www.thisisbrigg.co.uk
