BRIGG PICTURE FROM THE 1970s GIVES FOOD FOR THOUGHT

 

Some Brigg buildings have had the same type of use for many years - with several food-related examples on Bridge Street.
The above picture was taken in the early 1970s by local amateur photographer Ken Fisher.
The building in the centre of this view (behind the trees) was then being used as a ground floor cafe.
But for many years now it has housed Simon Ho's popular China Garden Restaurant.
As the wall-board  indicates, nearby Manley Gardens was still the venue for Stennett's Market in the 1970s. Shoppers went to buy eggs, poultry, pigeons, butter and many other foodstuffs.
Dunham's bakery, right of picture, is still going today in the same Bridge Street premises, while Barnard's shop (in the distance) remains a butcher's.
