'UNIQUE' CAFE & COFFEE SHOP COMING TO BRIGG


Brigg is awaiting the arrival of another town centre business offering refreshments.
Opening soon, Gracie's 'unique coffee shop and cafe' will be located at 22 Market Place, near the bookshop and the barber's.
A dog-friendly waiting area will also be available, promotional posters indicate.
Our recently-taken picture above shows the premises where Gracie's will be, once completed.
A Facebook page has been created ahead of the opening and received scores of likes.



While on the subject of food, we've noticed that one of the town's longest-serving outlets is up to date with latest trends.
Dunham's -  bakers and confectioners, established 1899 - has a distinctive orange and white sign on its Bridge Street frontage indicating that the renowned Just Eat delivery service can be used for orders.
Meanwhile, many customers continue to visit in traditional fashion to make purchases.


Brigg Blog has posted a good deal lately about football followers visiting local licensed bars to watch live big screen TV coverage of the Euro 2020 tournament - England's last qualifying group fixture being tonight (8pm KO).
However, many other people have opted to stay at home to watch the 'footy' while refreshing themselves with canned lager, bitter or cider. Perhaps this has contributed to the abundance of recycling evident on the Old Courts Road car park yesterday afternoon, Monday (pictured here).
There's a full week to go in Brigg before households' green-coloured bins are next emptied by the council, but many are already full, resulting in trips to local recycling centres to dispose of the excess.
