ARE OUR MINCE PIES DECEIVING US WHEN IT COMES TO THE BRIGG BUTTERCROSS CHANDELIERS?

 

One of the chandeliers illuminated a few weeks ago during a meeting of the Brigg Town Business Partnership.

Like many folk in town we had a few drinks this Christmas, but Brigg Blog is wondering whether our old mine pies are deceiving us when it comes to the chandeliers in the Buttercross.

We’d like to know whether the ones currently in place in the refurbished upstairs function room are those purchased 30-or-so years ago during the tenure of Glanford Borough Council.

Or could it be that something less lavish is now hanging from the ceiling?

It would be interesting to know the answer, North Lincolnshire Council.

If the Glanford era chandeliers are still about, somewhere, perhaps the council could consider re-hanging them in the Buttercross, now it’s been revealed that civic wedding ceremonies are to operate from early 2014. Brides and grooms would surely be impressed to have a bit of added sparkle.
