Marks on a wall in Brigstock
I believe this is some wartime marking for some service but needs confirming when moderated. An update with the assisistance of the local history society and a geographer suggest this is a V for victory painted on the wall soon after VE day (8th May 1945). It was painted by the village barber and the garage owner who both had premises nearby.

Brigstock: a corner of the market place
In the late middle ages Brigstock was the biggest settlement in Rockingham Forest and there were (from 1466) Saturday and (from 1604) Thursday Markets, and fairs on St George’s, St Bartholomew’s, St Mark’s and St Martin’s Days. These died out in the late 19th century. The market cross - see
Image] and
Image] - is ancient and carved with various initials and dates. This is a view of the fine houses on the corner of the market place and Stable Hill. The sharp turn to the left leads out of Brigstock to the A6116 and Corby. For more about the village, see http://www.brigstock.net/

Brigstock: eighteenth-century houses
Fine masonry on the Mill Lane side of the Market Place. In the late middle ages Brigstock was the largest settlement in Rockingham Forest, and is still the largest parish. These grand houses are evidence of later prosperity.
