BRIGG NICKNAMES STAND THE TEST OF TIME


Nicknames have long prevailed for people in Brigg - some of the reasons behind them lost in the midst of time but others being more obvious.
Examples include Tansy, Gog Eye, Fluff, Fag Ash Lill, Banger, Tacker and Gig.
Sass, Temp, Moggy, Beaver, Knocker, Golly and Scoop are still in town!

And, of course, many folk  answer to Dundy!
