Visitors viewed an exhibition of paintings, drawings, pottery and acrylics, which is running until December 21.

A previously empty and run-down three-storey building on the corner of Market Place and Spring's Parade has been tastefully refurbished to create the new business.

The building was originally connected with the old Spring's jam and preserves factory - once a major employer in Brigg.

Next door to the Bryom & Steel building, the historic Woolpack Inn is currently being refurbished - inside and out.
