It was pretty busy, being:
- Market day
- The school holidays
Tinned mints in hand, we made a mental note to pay a return visit to this 'midget gem' in Wrawby Street.
It's an old-fashioned sweet shop, almost directly across the road from where 'Goodie' Binns used to dispense the gob-stoppers!
Brigg is renowned for its speciality shops, of which this is a fine example.
IF YOU ENJOY VISITING THIS WEBSITE REGULARLY TO FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON, WE'RE ASKING YOU TO CONSIDER MAKING A DONATION TOWARDS OUR COSTS. MUCH TIME AND EFFORT IS PUT INTO FINDING AND PROCESSING STORIES AND PHOTOS. IF YOU WANT TO DONATE, PLEASE SEND A CHEQUE, MADE PAYABLE TO NIGEL FISHER, TO 10 SPRINGFIELD ROAD, BRIGG, NORTH LINCS, DN20 8DD. PAYMENTS IN CASH ALSO WELCOME AT ANY TIME.

What ever happened to Spangles?
As little urchin trudging the streets of Liverpool with my dirty knees and short pants, I recall that one our favourite cowboys, Hopalong Cassidy use to advertise Spangles.
There was a picture of him alongside a box of Spangles with the slogan that proclaimed something like, 'Spangles - the sweets that make you go gay'
How times have changed!
