Colourful hanging baskets have become a feature of Brigg in recent years.
You can see them adorning business premises and buildings in public ownership.
These pictures were taken in the Market Place but you can see other baskets elsewhere in the town centre.
Above - the NatWest Bank; middle picture - the Bandstand; lower view - frontage of The Angel.
Just in case you are wondering about the absence of people, we took these views early on Sunday morning.
Where's the promised bunting?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I heard a Brigg TC promise that it would be blowing gently in the breeze for the Queen's birthday....
Just because it's a Sunday is no excuse for the lack of folk.
ReplyDeleteGo to other similar sized towns and the streets are teeming with people and open shops...
On May Day, there were numerous groups wandering about Wrawby St and in the Market Place...apart from the pubs nothing was open..except perhaps Love and Live near Brian's DIY..in which I had tea and a sticky bun.
If the town is dead, crowds are not going to attend a post-mortem when there's life and dynamism at the nearby Garden Centre...

Brigg shopkeepers could well benefit by going to Hebden Bridge on a Sunday...Population circa 4500 and a high proportion of independent shops.
