Brigg in North Lincolnshire, England, is a small market town on the River Ancholme with a population of 5,076 (2001 census). Earliest references date from the 12th century, the name derived from the old Norse "briggja" meaning a jetty. Brigg has been a thriving market town for centuries, serving the largely rural villages on both sides of the river with a corn exchange and livestock market. 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 River Humber (The Angel now is home to Brigg Town Council). The Ancholme also gave access to the River Humber and the port of Kingston upon Hull.  Today with the building of a bypass and the pedestrianisation of the town centre, Brigg has regained some of the relaxed qualities of a country market town with a small marketplace at its heart, still with a traditional street market on Thursdays and Saturdays. In recent years a thriving farmers' market has developed, held on the 4th Saturday each month selling a wide variety of local produce from pork and organic vegetables to ostrich meat and locally produced condiments.
