 Welcome to our page of bed and breakfast in Brigg!
The market town of Brigg was originally called Glanford
Bridge because of the crossing point over the River Ancholme.
Brigg has been a thriving market town for centuries, serving
the largely rural villages on both sides of the river with a
corn exchange. Road communications were good with the old Roman
road Ermine Street passing not far away. There are many old coaching
inns, most notably "The Angel" on the route from Lincoln
via Caenby Corner to the Humber. The Ancholme also gave access
to the River Humber and the port of Kingston upon Hull. Brigg
has a colourful history of markets and fairs, the most important
being the annual Horse Fair which takes place on August 5th,
when a Charter was granted by King John 800 years ago. Brigg
has excellent shopping facilities with its traditional street
market and around 150 specialist shops centred mainly in the
pedestrianised area. (Photo). |
