BLAST FROM THE PAST IN BRIGG TOWN CENTRE

Many shoppers have been taking a look at a blast from the past in Brigg town centre today (Wednesday, June 29).
Propped up outside Mundey's,  on Wrawby Street, early this morning was a traditional shop bike, complete with family business lettering, of the sort used to deliver meat to people's homes long ago.
There was a time when many butchery, grocery and greengrocery businesses in Brigg undertook deliveries using sturdy bikes with  carriers fixed on the front.
The last time many of us saw one in use will have been on Open All Ours, the TV comedy series starring Ronnie Barker and David Jason, set in a South Yorkshire sh-sh-sh-shop run by the former, who fed his takings into an old-fashioned till with a mousetrap-like closing mechanism.
