BRIGG EXHIBITION NEEDS YOUR PICTURES

Can you help with pictures of Happy Land, Brigg?

This was an area of housing off Bridge Street, which we think disappeared in the 1960s.
Many families lived there as far back as the Victorian era.
Kay Rothery, of Brigg Heritage Centre, tells Brigg Blog: "I am looking for photos of Happy Land for a forthcoming exhibition at the Heritage Centre.  
No pictures of this part of town exist in the North Lincolnshire Museum Image Archive.
So Brigg Blog wonders whether any of our followers might have some they are prepared to share with the Heritage Centre.
Kay is also seeking pictures of Coney Court long ago, explaining: "Our exhibition is looking at the origins of some of Brigg's street names."

We have family connections with Happy Land through our late grandad Charles Taylor, latterly of Hawthorn Avenue.
Born in Brigg in 1896, he lived his early life in Glebe Road, long before the primary school was built and before the housing estate around Woodbine Avenue came into being. It was then adjoining open farmland. 
His family later moved to Happy Land, off Bridge Street, opposite the Brocklesby Ox (near where Bhatti’s newsagents is now).  This would have been 1906/7 when the rent was 3s 9d.
With money short, he had to leave school as soon as possible and worked as a messenger boy for the Post Office on Wrawby Street, delivering on a bike  in the Brigg area. 
He served during the First World War with the Lincolnshire Regiment, and was wounded in action. He finished his service with the rank of sergeant and, after the war, was one of those  invited to a celebratory dinner hosted in Brigg by a grateful urban district council. 
He also became one of the early members of the British Legion, founder of the Servicemen’s Club on Coney Court. 
A coachpainter/signwriter wtih Layne's garage, on Bigbty Street, who worked well into his 70s, he died in 1990.
