YORKSHIRE VISITOR'S VIEW OF BRIGG - A JOY TO SEE SO MANY LITTLE INDEPENDENT SHOPS

Paul Johnson, of campaigning railway group The Friends of the Brigg & Lincoln Lines, has been visiting Brigg  from his home in Yorkshire, and has more trips planned. Brigg Blog thought it would be useful to get a visitor's view of our town. So we invited Paul to share his thoughts....
He will be returning to town this coming Thursday for an important meeting about our railway line, station and passenger service (previously previewed on Brigg Blog. You can find out more about it by following this link...
Paul says: "You have asked me to write about why I come to Brigg. Thursday's trip was a bit of a railway issues and shopping trip combined. I travel from South Yorkshire to Brigg (to Scunthorpe on the train then bus to Brigg) as I enjoy shopping in Brigg. The town centre has much more individuality than you would find in any other town centre.
"It is a joy to see so many little independent shops around the town, which is what gives Brigg its selling point compared to Scunthorpe, Doncaster & Grimsby.
"The community of Brigg is always friendly and welcoming, which is why our rail group is delighted to promote Brigg as a destination to travel to...on the iconic Brigg railway line."
