FROM FORMER BRIGG RESIDENT CLIFF TURNER, IN NEW ZEALAND
Your picture of Clothes Hedge Path reminded me of the Brigg Grammar School cross-country races in which I ran in 1939 and 1940. By the time the 1941 race came
round I was in the navy. The course was from school, down Clothes Hedge to its
end and then across three fields to Gravel Pit Lane and into Wrawby; right turn to
the church then left as far as Barton Road where another left turn brought us
where the Barton and Grimsby roads meet (or diverge). A right turn down a muddy
lane took us to the north end of Grammar School Road and from there back to
school. Does the cross country race still take place?
Until I was well into my 80s I thought Clothes Hedge was
Close Hedge.
N.F. ADDS: In answer to the question, we seem to recall the cross-country was replaced by laps of the Nelthorpe school field. Can anyone confirm that?
