The Brigg hotels listed below are either in
the town or we have given a rough guide as to how far they are
from Brigg. We hope you enjoy your stay and find your ideal accommodation.
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. Also see Brigg
& Brigg attractions.
