BRIGG TALK WILL REVEAL WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE IN LATE 18th CENTURY LINCOLNSHIRE

There’s a fascinating  subject for the October meeting of Brigg Amateur Social Historians.

Torrington’s Tour of Lincolnshire 1791 will be revealed during an illustrated talk by Dr Brian Davy.

The meeting will be held at Brigg Servicemen’s Club, Coney Court, on Tuesday, October 6, starting at 8pm.

In the summer of 1791 the future Viscount Torrington toured Lincolnshire “with his nightcap in one pocket and a bottle of white brandy in the other.”

His journal, complete with port stains, has survived to tell where he went and who the aristocrat met along the way.

Admission to BASH meetings is free and everyone is welcome. There is no need to book in advance. Light refreshments will be served and a raffle held to help with costs.

The Servicemen’s Club is next to the town’s main car park.
