Re: Power cut problems
EMAIL. The traffic lights are a godsend most of the time, without them you have zero chance of getting out of the roads onto the A18. Crossing the road isn't a problem either if you use the crossings or islands. - Heidi

Hunsley road

EMAIL. The Hunsley Road you found I think would have been at Obi Obi in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. It was named after my maternal grandfather Charles Hunsley who started farming in the area in the early 1900's. My mother, Hazel Pickering nee Hunsley sold the farm in 1967. - Loella Sperling - Send reply

Cross?

Wandered down to see how the new eco-roof on the new Brigg Primary school was coming along when something caught my eye.

On the top of a large mound of earth is a cross (ringed right). Does this mark the arrival of open air worship in Brigg? What do you make of this?? Reply
