TURNER'S MILESTONE

How time flies...It's now 10 years since well-known Brigg butcher's shop, C. Turner and Sons, closed its doors in Queen Street for the final time on April 1, 2000. That day also marked the retirement of shop boss Keith Turner.
The family firm was founded by his great-grandmother and operated for more than 100 years, having started in a house in Grammar School Road where she used to do the baking and take it to market on Thursdays and Saturdays.
Many, many folk in the Brigg area have really missed Turner's sausages, haslet, famous pork pies and other delicacies since time was called on one of our most popular town shops.
The sausages were made from great-grandmother's original recipe - closely guarded by all four generations of the family.
