Brigg is an attractive, small market town, where the markets are still active, and an annual horse fair is still held. The name, Brigg, is simply Old English for Bridge.
Frederick Delius wrote a tone poem based on English folk tunes, called : Brigg Fair - An English Rhapsody. For me, it conjures perfectly, the sleepy atmosphere of the town
Sadly I was just passing through, so only took one quick shot. This is The Angel - the Brigg Heritage centre:
Once a 17th. century coaching inn, the Angel now stands as the town heritage centre and community hub.
