Brigg Garden Centre

We used to live in Scotter not far from Brigg. It was 1970-75. This was not there then.

It used to just be a very small nursery............ can't remember the name of it now. Then it was taken over by the same people that own woodthorpe garden centre and they turned it in to this!!
Scotter........... I was brought up around there, all my family were from messingham or bottesford.

Small world isn't it. My husband taught at Frederick Gough in Scunthorpe. My boys were born in Scunthorps.

Yep, very small world............. my cousins went to Frederick Gough school.
Do you know Mill house, Messingham???? Its one of the first houses on the right as you come from Scotter........
Winnifred and Harold Turner used to live there many years ago..... they were my grand parents.

I like this, we could do a 'garden centres around the world' thing!

That would be good................

When were your cousins at school? It's a long time since we were there, I'm sure we would have known where Mill House was at the time, we certainly would have driven past it many times.

Oh god, i cannot remember when they were at school there.
They were all called Turner though and all from Messingham or Bottesford.
Oh yes you would have passed it many times.......oh it wasn't mill house, it was Millfield House.
My grandad was a shepherd and we used to go with him in the school holidays to Northorpe and various other places.

Oh well if they were at school in the early 70's they could have been taught French by my husband.

they possibly would have been there then..............

Ask your cousins if they remember Mr Pook.

Ok, when i next see them, I will ask........... Its very rare I see them as its not that close a family now.
