GREAT MEMORIES TO ENJOY

Great memories of events, people and places from the past will be revived by the January edition of the Scunthorpe Telegraph’s ever-popular Nostalgia magazine, on sale from tomorrow (Friday) for just 75p.
With "yours truly" overseeing the content, it's no real surprise there's plenty of interest to Brigg area readers. Many will recognise the local farmer pictured on page one, for example.

There’s a double dose of match action from the past for Scunthorpe United fans, featuring tussles with Bradford and Chesterfield, and there’s a look at a memorable year for steelworks inter-departmental cricketers.
The popular That Was The Year feature recalls major news events, sporting achievements and favourite records of 1946, when Britain was still enduring rationing.
January’s issue of Nostalgia includes a free four-page Telegraph Trains supplement in which Scunthorpe railway historian Bryan Longbone takes another dip into his wealth of fascinating archive material.
