NEW BRIGG BAR WILL BE MAKING ITS ENTRANCE

A scheme to create a new bar in Brigg town centre, which was approved in late March by council planners, includes a rear parking area to be accessed from the nearby Angel car park.
Our 'hole in the wall' picture shows the current scene - much foliage have been cleared behind the former HSBC bank premises in the Market Place where the Vault Bar is to be established on the ground floor of the grade two listed building within the conservation area and the pedestrian zone.
A statement submitted in support of this planning application made reference to "the new vehicular opening formed from the Angel car park."
It also explained: "The existing parking area will have its tarmac refreshed. The new parking will be hard surfaced with a grass or gravel verge around."
A North Lincolnshire Council assessment report later supported the granting of planning permission for the scheme which, in addition to the bar, includes conversion of the upper floors of 27 Market Place to provide two apartments and offices.
The report concluded: "The proposal represents a sustainable adaptive re-use of the listed building. Given the minimal changes,  there is no negative impact upon the historic environment whilst the new use is likely to add to the vibrancy and vitality of Brigg Town Centre."
The planning approval subsequently granted by the council included the following condition stipulating permitted opening hours for the "drinking establishment"...

• Sunday-Thursday 11am-11pm;
• Friday and Saturday 11am-midnight.

The Vault's Facebook page - already liked by more than 1,000 people - describes the venue-to-be as a cocktail bar.
Work on this welcome project continues.

 

The ground floor of 27 Market Place, Brigg, will be converted to provide the new Vault Bar within the pedestrian area.  Our picture shows the premises soon after they had been sold.
