This post office is situated inside, at the rear corner of the spar shop on bradley cross roads…read more It is not a traditional post office because the simple fact is it does not have the shop to itself or any proper division between it and the rest of the spar shop. Because of this it also does not carry a lot of the merchandise that many other post offices carry just a small range of packing materials etc and some of the forms and leaflets advertisinf post office services. The staff are friendly and efficient, assisting you where needed and I never have a problem - am usually in and out pretty fast regardless of my requirements. Not a bad shop but would prefer a little bit of separation from the rest of the shop.

The usual post office services are there including travel money and phone top ups. Beyond the post office services there is a little shop selling cigs, sweets and greetings cards. Most staionery things can be bought here also. If you want stamps and dont want to wait in the main Q you can buy stamps from the little shop bit. Parking is on the main shopping street or side roads so can be limited.

I really wish it was possible to give 6 stars, because if anyone deserved it, then Sue at Scawby…read moredoes. She really knows her stuff, is incredibly switched on, and is so efficient that it makes all the others look like Mickey Mouse outfits in comparison. If you're a regular Ebayer, then they'll offer a 'dump and run' type service - just leave your parcels and when it's quiet they'll process them all for you, and you can make arrangements for payment to suit. This saves massive queues building up, and is a massive bonus to those of us who hate turning up with a huge bag of parcels. Road tax is available, and it is nice not to have to queue for ages to get it! The service is exceptional - very friendly and personal, and once she knows who you are, Sue has an unbelievable ability to remember everything you tell her! She went through a rather rough time a couple of years ago, but still the Post Office carried on without a hitch - a true testament to Sue's professionalism. Sadly I've moved away from the area but still call in with my post if I can. Please support this local PO if you can at all - they really do work hard and are at the very heart of the village community. Many from Brigg and the surrounding villages make the journey, and it is worth the extra couple of miles.

Many moons ago I looked at buying the old post office in Barrow..it was very cheap and quite large…read morebut woefully delapidated. There is an abundance of historical buildings in the village and in 1974 it was designated a conservation area. Barrow has a mix of 18th and 19th Century houses from all social backgrounds, and was once home to many workers from farms in surrounding villages. It is easily missed as it is on the old road leading from the south of the Humber Bridge.It is however an interesting example of time standing still somewhat. Barrow-upon-Humber's origins have been traced back to at least the 7th Century when a monastery was founded by St Chad. It never grew into a town and was destroyed by Viking raids in the 9th Century. Barrow's strategic importance is illustrated by the huge motte and bailey castle constructed by Drogo de la Beauvriere in the 11th Century. Barrow-upon-Humber Castle is an enormous earthwork motte and bailey, which retains part of its rampart and wet ditch. Built in the Norman plan, the two huge baileys have the large low motte in-between. It is located south of Barrow Haven, by The Beck at West Hann Lane. 12 miles south of Hull on the A63-A15(Humber Bridge)-A1077 or 18 miles north-east of Scunthorpe on the A1077. I went with a friend and we couldn't find it so we randomly knocked on a door and asked. It was behind the house and we wandered around the soggy moat remains. One of the village's most famous sons was John Harrison (1693-1776) (an ancester) who invented the first practical marine-chronometer which enabled sailors to accurately compute their position in the sea. Barrow was once a thriving rope-making and basket-weaving village and in the last century there was a massive population growth leading to the forming of New Holland. Tourist attractions include the Holy Trinity Church, part of which dates back to the 13th Century, and the listed vicarage built in the 1800s. The church was partially restored in 1841 and again in 1856 and a third time in 1869. It seats about 400. The old Congregational Chapel, now a band room, is one of the village's most unusual buildings with its steel sloping roof. Worth a quick visit if you are coming south off the Humber bridge.

I miss the sea and the biting East Coast winds..great for windmills…read more Wrawby is a village in North Lincolnshire two miles east of Brigg and close to Humberside Airport on the A18. It is most notable for Wrawby Postmill. The name of Wrawby is first mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Waragebi and has had many variant spellings including Wraghebi, Wrakebi and Wraby with Wrawby in use from the 15th century. The name is thought to derive from the Old Danish meaning Wraghi's farmstead or village. Most of Lincolnshire- with the exception of the wolds is low-lying country, and its exposed position on the eastern coast of England leaves it open to cold winds, which howl across the North Sea from Russia and northern Europe. It can be chilly, but more often than not the locals can use the elements to their advantage. As early as the 16th Century those living in the fens borrowed the Dutch idea of using wind engines to drain their marshy homeland; and even after the invention of the steam pump, the windmill remains the most effective miller of grain. Wrawby Mill is Lincolnshire's last surviving post mill, built of wood and designed to rotate on a post in order to catch the wind. No one is absolutely certain when it was built, but its construction seems to indicate a date between 1760 and 1790. For most of the 20th century the survival of Wrawby Mill has been in doubt-indeed, in 1961 it was saved from demolition by a band of local people who formed a society dedicated to its preservation. Wrawby Mill was renovated and began milling corn in 1965, and today the society, which cares for it opens the mill to the public throughout the year. It is painted white and can be seen from the road.The restored mill was re-opened in 1965 and ground its first bag of corn in 25 years.
