BRIGG PUB WELCOMES NEW LANDLADY

This picture shows a Brigg pub changing hands.
Alia Harris has succeeded Shane Garrett in running the Britannia Inn, on Wrawby Street.
Shane is seen handing over the reigns to Alia when Brigg Blog called yesterday morning (Tuesday, August 27).
With stocktaking and other routine formalities under way, it was a busy time. So we'll be meeting Alia in the next few days to chat about her plans for the popular hostelry.
We will also tell you more about the new landlady in charge, who is no stranger to this pub, having already pulled many pints as a member of staff.
Shane, who ran The Brit for two years, is returning to Barton, his home town.
He's asked Brigg Blog to past on his sincere thanks for all customers who used the pub during his tenure.
Shane oversaw some memorable music nights, charity events, karaoke sessions and countless 'good craic' afternoons and evenings when people just chatted and relaxed. We wish him well.
Brigg already has landladies in charge at the Yarborough Hunt (Lucy Fensome) and Woolpack (Sarah Hardy).
PICTURED: Alia and Shane yesterday (above) and serving up food in June 2019 as the Britannia marked the 75th anniversary of D-Day (below). Alia was unwrapping the Spam sandwiches - this proceeded meat being a staple of war-time rationing.
