These pictures were taken in Brigg on Christmas Eve 2010, and the following day saw a White Christmas - courtesy of a solitary shower of the white stuff.
Brigg Blog reported 10 years ago that due to the bad weather-related cancellation of the official switch-on ceremony in the Market Place, we had been unable to provide the usual pictures showing the Town Council-funded Christmas Lights, which were still erected by Barrie Gray and his team.
"No Christmas tree in the town centre, either, again because of the problems relating to the snow and ice," we explained in our post on Christmas Day 2010. "So, just for the record, here are three pix taken last night, Christmas Eve, showing the festive illuminations shining down on Wrawby Street and the Market Place, with a bit of snow and ice to add to the backdrop."
We recall that, despite the weather, Brigg pubs were well patronised over the Christmas period 10 years ago.
