BRIGG BLOG APPEALS FOR SHOP, PUB & BUSINESS PICTURES FROM THE PAST FOR OUR DATES TIMELINE PROJECT

Brigg Blog regrets that, in the latter half of the 20th century, we failed to photograph many shops, streets and buildings in the town, to provide a lasting record of how things used to be and how much has since changed.
Perhaps some of our followers today can help fill gaps in our archive, bearing in mind any copyright restrictions that might apply to the images.
Here's a list of some pictures we'd very much like to obtain for future use...

GENERAL: Any pre-2000 pictures showing the frontages of Brigg pubs, eateries and shops (or customers and members of staff inside). We are also hoping to find Brigg sports team pictures down the decades.
Please only send us pictures you know are NOT subject to commercial copyright.
Many thanks... and fingers crossed for a good response to our appeal.
We know many family collections in Brigg and district contain many, many pictures of interest to local people today.
Many of them have been scanned from prints into digital format. Are you willing to share some? Please email them to scoopfisher@aol.com
If you give Brigg Blog permission to use your pictures in future posts we will, of course, include your name by way of a credit, unless you wish to remain anonymous.
Any pictures received from this appeal will also help to illustrate our Brigg Dates Timeline project when we post an updated version, with many more entries, towards the end of 2020.
