- NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE PARISH #52: BRIGG
Welcome to Brigg - a market town which lies at the junction of the River Ancholme and East to West transport routes across northern Lincolnshire.
Brigg used to be an important local town's, and used to be referred to by its full name Glanford Brigg. Officially, that still is its name, but these days everyone knows it as Brigg
The origin of the town’s name is somewhat unclear. There are theories about the “Glan” part of the name, but ford refers to an actual ford across the River Ancholme.
When a bridge was built over the river, it became Glanford Bridge. Over time that became Glanford Brigg and eventually Glanford was dropped.
Brigg originally sat at the meeting point of four parishes - Broughton, Kettleby, Scawby and Wrawby, although it lay mainly in Wrawby and was officially regarded as part of that village.
Even today, Wrawby and Brigg are inextricably linked. The town was substantially improved and rebuilt in the late 1700s and early 1800s, thanks to the Elwes family, the largest landowners
For centuries, Brigg was a small fishing hamlet. It grew quickly in the 19th century and was soon a thriving inland port, dealing with thousands of ships per year
There’s a lot here, so let’s get walking and see what we can find!

Hi Andy.
Lots to see in Brigg.
On a frosty morning..
I've been to Brigg a few times.
Thanks for the Vlog.
No problem 👍
Thanks Andy, really enjoyed touring Brigg with you. My husband was born in the hospital there in 1948.
Awesome! Thanks :D
Love Brigg cary Elwes married a ancestor of mine so another gentry connection steeped in history Brigg great video Andy thank you
Only four left now in North Lincs June. I wonder if you've got connections to North East Lincolnshire?
@@TheVillageIdiot yeah shame not bigger area.my ancestry started from Alvingham through to west lindsey yes up to NE lincs some areas, all my fathers side , mums all southern east london Kent Berkshire
I love Brigg
Know brigg well. My grandma was a nurse at the hospital which is now health place. Vale academy is a fairly new building. It used to have a building on redcombe lane and two on grammar school road. It was my old school. Tesco is on the land of the old cattle market.
A fact a learnt about Brigg was that it's part of one of the few constituencies that cover two counties, that being East Yorkshire (Goole) and obviously Lincolnshire
Yes, Brigg and Goole. I've always thought that to be a little of a weird constituency
There's parts of that REALLY look like Doncaster Centre, especially given for fact that The have a pub called The Black Bull and The Woolpack! By the way who composed the music at the beginning and the end of each video?
Start is Ratatouille's Kitchen (Edu Espinol), the end is called Movin' Up (Dan Lebowitz)
Damn video taken a days ago I thought I saw someone in a high vis on my way home 🤣
If you did, twas not me :D
There is a windmill in Wrawby that has been fully restored 😊
There's a Wrawby episode Julie
@TheVillageIdiot I'll have a look, thankyou. 👍
To be honest I think it's sad brigg only gets trains on Saturdays I might go to Brigg on train sometime I don't think I have ever been to Brigg by train before.
I have to admit, for a town of its size, the rail network does neglect it a bit
@@TheVillageIdiot I think it's more northern who I think manage the train station and oh do you have twitter?
Yep! @TheVillageTwit
@@TheVillageIdiot ok I am now following.
@@TheVillageIdiotbeen meaning to tell you brigg only has 2 services now one to Cleethorpes other to Sheffield I think they should of 3 services 3 on weekdays and 3 on weekends I post about it on twitter/x and I tagged northern and network rail.
Princess of Wales open the tourist information Centre there ..
