LOCAL HISTORY BOOK BARGAINS ON OFFER IN BRIGG

Local history is the theme of the current window display at the Oxfam Book Shop in Brigg town centre.
As a so-called 'non-essential' shop, this Wrawby Street outlet of the worldwide charity has now been permitted to reopen from Coronavirus emergency lockdown.
While walking past yesterday (Monday, April 26) our attention was caught by a purple-covered book within the display.
It's no real surprise that Post-war Scunthorpe and District looked familiar; we co-wrote it 21 years ago with fellow Scunthorpe Telegraph journalist Chris Horan!
This was the second Telegraph 'Nostalgia' book looking back on the 20th century - both publications being compiled to mark the ending of one century/millennium and the beginning of the next.
We hope someone snaps up this copy of a book which contains a range of local history articles and is illustrated with pictures drawn from the newspaper's extensive archive. Brigg features, as you might expect.
We resisted the temptation to inquire from Oxfam about the book's sale price!
