REMEMBERING BRIGG SHOPS IN THE 1960s

Well-known businesses in Brigg were providing refreshments in the early 1960s.
At the weekend, Brigg Blog was given an old old Urban District Council handbook from this period.
K's Korner Cafe, on the corner of Queen Street and Wrawby Street (now occupied by the China Garden takeaway) was offering light lunches, snacks and sandwiches, with hot dogs a speciality. Customers could also tap their feet to the latest hit parade tunes on the Seeburg jukebox.
Folk could also get a bite to eat at Green's Cafe and The Market Cafe - close to each other in the Market Place.
Green's stocked renowned Eldorado Ices, while Coun Vic Gray's market eatery also operated a taxi service.
Soft drinks were manufactured at the J. W. White & Sons factory off Elwes Street (now remembered in the name of The  Bottlings housing development).
The Hull Brewery off-licence, on Queen Street, was a port of call for adults wishing to buy bottles of beer, wine and spirits.
Some of the shops that supported the handbook with adverts are still with us today, including Cary Lane's Spencer Molloy - then "the largest record stockists in Brigg" - and Bridge Street's W. Sherwood & Sons, pictured above, which sold toys as well as cycles in the 1960s and is still going today.
However, today you can no longer call in at 6 Wrawby Street to buy leather goods and gifts from Lyne's Ropery, nor purchase menswear from Shaw's Outfitters Ltd at 13 Market Place.  
Daisy buses from Broughton no longer pick up passengers on Cary Lane.
The handbook dates from 1963 when the council was building the Stockmarket - a site now occupied by the Tesco store.
K's Korner Cafe gave its location as "opposite the Grand Cinema" - a facility that was to close just a couple of years later.
Major employers within the town included the N. Corah and Sons Ltd hosiery factory off Bridge Street, and Spring's, whose products included lemon curd (cheese), jams and marmalade, plus tinned fruit and veg.
