He's been back to us since then with further information of interest, saying: "The Butcher's Arms was probably the last pub in Brigg to lose its licence before the Deli and Diner was established on the site, and it was subsequently transferred to the newly built Ancholme Inn down Grammar School Road.
"So the name only was lifted from the original Ancholme just by the County Bridge, and not its licence. Obviously that closed down as a pub much much earlier than the Butcher's did.
Our picture shows the Ancholme Inn just prior to demolition. It had opened in 1960 to serve people living in Brigg council houses nearby - on the Springbank estate and the Hawthorn Avenue/East Parade area.
NF adds: I seem to recall (early 1980s) Alec King having a bookmaker's shop at what had been the Butcher's Arms. We were then working at the Lincolnshire and South Humberside Times offices on the other side of Wrawby Street (No 57).

Can't really follow the logic as the Butcher's Arms ceased trading in circa mid-60s....it then became a bookies..Ma's Pantry & the the Deli..about 20 years ago.
During the period from the mid 60's..the Brock Ox, the Queens Arms, the Horse & Cart, and the Ancholme have disappeared from the pub scene.
In addition, the Sugar club has gone.
