WALLOW IN NOSTALGIA

Take a trip back in time with the souvenir 100th edition of Nostalgia magazine from the Scunthorpe Telegraph, now on sale for 75p. (Guess who provides all the content?)
There's plenty for older Brigg Blog readers to enjoy in this issue, including memories of the town's Labour Exchange, an "odd ode" to our long-awaited by-pass, plus reflections on "God's Little Acre" (Bigby Street) and Paradise Place, Cadney Road, both accompanied by Stephen Hill paintings.
The popular That Was The Year feature recalls the major events of 1960, and there's a special feature on a thrilling 4-4 final game of the season for Scunthorpe United in 1980/1. (Were you there at the Old Show Ground?)
A long-serving member of the local Lions also recounts an amazing tale of how, as a young National Serviceman in the RAF in the early 1950s, he came to spend the night in German Luftwaffe commander Herman Goering's ex-bungalow, where the Generalfeldmarshall's giant bed was still a feature.
