A slice of Brigg retail history is up for grabs in a town centre charity shop.
It's a Decca label Vera Lynn record in the original cardboard sleave, first sold decades ago by Harold Green in his small shop at 51 Bridge Street.
You can snap up this gem for a tenner at the Lindsey Lodge Hospice shop, in Wrawby Street, where it takes pride of place in the window (near the door).
Veteran shopkeeper Harold had quite a few strings to his bow, if you'll pardon the pun, also repairing gramaphones, framing pictures, selling fine art and fancy goods, and stocking toys for Brigg youngsters to enjoy.

Brigg has an fantastic range of high quality charity shops.
It is really amazing what assortments are on offer in these little emporiums (owing to H&S issues they are unable to sell electrical items). Last week, from a bugle (Red X) thro' Vera Lynn's record (Hospice), to a silver service (Oxfam) to a range of framed, quality limited prints (Sue R.)
In this recession, such charities need extra financial help, but there are bargains galore...even some of the clothing is brand new and will go for a fraction of High Street prices.
I only make one provision - DON'T PINCH MY BARGAINS!
