WELL-KNOWN LANDLADY TAKES OVER AT BRIGG PUB

A well-known landlady has taken over at one of the pubs in Brigg town centre.
Alia Harris is now managing the Woolpack, in the Market Place, with her team.
The Woollie recently closed briefly after Sarah Ryder had left to take over a village hostelry near Boston.
But Alia reopened it earlier this week and is welcoming customers.
Alia, who used to live in Somerby, was educated at Caistor Yarborough School.
She came here eight years ago and worked at Brigg Town Football Club's Hawthorns venue.
Well-known in the town, she started bar work at the Brit in May 2018, taking charge during late summer 2019 in succession to Shane Garrett.
When she left the Britannia, we lost touch for a time. So it's good to hear she's back running local licensed premises again.
Alia's arrival at the Woolpack goes hand in hand with refurbishment work at this grade two listed 18th century hostelry within the Conservation Area.
The sign on the frontage has also been given attention and now, once again, has all the letters spelling Woolpack in place - a few of them having disappeared for a time (see picture below).
