BRIGG IS A CUT ABOVE

Many Brigg people will be turning back the clock to the hippy era if the Coronavirus emergency continues for many more weeks.
With hairdressers being among the enforced shop closures, locks are getting longer and we are on course for a return to the late 1960s and 1970s when young men opted for long hair - sometimes stretching down to the shoulders.
Boys often fought battles with mums and dads who wanted them to stick with the traditional short back and sides.
But most teenagers got their way in the end, as this early 1970s picture of Brigg Grammar School pupils demonstrates.
Brigg men's hairdressers and barbers years ago included Harry Westcott, on Wrawby Street, and Ike Tutty, on Bridge Street.
Unisex hairdressing was later offered by many outlets, including Groomers - originally on Bigby Street in the building now occupied by the Diya Spice takeaway.
Ladies and girls today are suffering more than men and boys from the temporary  salon closures. When the ban is lifted there will be a real rush for appointments with stylists. Patient men should wait their turn!
