BRIGG,
or GLANFORD BRIGG, is a neat, well-built,
and thriving market town, on the navigable
river Ancholme, in a broad level vale of
rich and well-drained marshes and cars,
bounded on the east and west by the woody
and highly cultivated acclivities of the
Wolds. It is a distant 10 miles S. by W.
of Barton, 9 miles W.N.W. of Caistor, 24
miles N. by E. of Lincoln, 16 miles S.S.W.
of Hull, and 10 miles S. of the Humber,
from which the Ancholme is navigable to
Bishop Bridge, 10 miles above Brigg, and
5 miles from Market Rasen; and by a branch
cut to Moorton, 3, 1/2 miles from Caistor.
