Brigg Blog's Christmas Eve post about what we suggested might well be the biggest Santa currently on display at a domestic property in the town proved to be very well read, and has prompted someone living just over the border in Broughton parish to get in touch with these pictures.
She proudly informs us that her household's display on Riverside, Waters Edge (near the New River Ancholme which marks the boundary) has won first prize in the Broughton parish Christmas lights competition 2021. People don’t need to enter; the judges look around the area to see what's on display.
Broughton Town Council announced its winners as follows: 1st place, 4 Riverside, Waters Edge (pictured above); second place, 11 Westminster Road, Broughton; third place, 8 Beechwood Crescent, Broughton.
The council praised a number of other domestic displays, plus the Red Lion pub and nearby St Mary's Church for their lighting.
There was a very high standard of entries this year so "the judging was incredibly difficult."
Broughton Town Council announced its top three via social media on Christmas Eve.
