The historic market town of Brigg is a small market town in North Lincolnshire and is built on the crossing of the River Ancholme, and was granted a charter in 1235. The town hosts two regular markets: a farmers and a street market. A significant number of buildings in the town centre date back to the late 1700s or early 1800s and are listed. The old town has been designated as a Conservation Area.
