Wanted: Pictures of Brigg Fire Brigade (pre 1948)

Dear Ed,

I am trying to find out when the Old Fire Station was built, sometime around 1930 I think, but would like an exact date for a talk I'm giving at BASH in the future.

Was it part of a Brewery or just built into that block of property?

Does anybody have any photos of the Brigg Fire Brigade prior to 1948 which I could copy, or any other information.

Kindest regards - Peter Batty - Local Fire Brigade Historian.

Ed replies

I know the building that you mean: the one between the carpet shop and the offices on Wrawby Street that might have formed a part of the old brewery complex. Sorry, no, I don't have any of my own pictures.

Perhaps someone out there can help Peter with his researches? Send pics by email to brigglife@gmail.com and they will be forwarded on.
