Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,600
On Salvage Hunters,
2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,600
Drew and Al dive nose first
into Britain's industrial past...
3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,000
Whoa! Look at this. First thing
that hits you is the smell.
4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,160
..show off tried
and tested bargaining skills...
5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,960
A hundred.
He makes that noise.
6
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,040
Whatever,
if you'd have said £5,
7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,720
he'd have gone...
8
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,520
..and have an encounter
with a highly endangered
9
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,480
150-year-old beast
of the fairground.
10
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,480
They're such a rarity.
11
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,520
If you'd sell me one,
I'd be over the moon.
12
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,440
Drew Pritchard is one
of Britain's leading antique
13
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,640
and decorative salvage dealers.
14
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,000
It's a great-looking thing,
isn't it? Fab thing.
15
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,000
Joined on the road
by queen of the haggle
16
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,400
and quick flip, Viki Knott...
17
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:47,400
275, the lot.Yeah.
Yeah, I'll take them.
18
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:51,640
..and lover of all things weathered
and wonderful, Alister Dryburgh...
19
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,320
Just needs a load of cleaning.
You clean it, I'll sell it.
20
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,840
Can we do it the other way around?
21
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,800
..Drew is sharing the knowledge...
22
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,800
What are those over there, Drew?
They're great little mill carts.
23
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,480
..and expertise...
24
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,600
Three-step anglepoise. Rare as hell.
God, it's an education already.
25
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,280
..he's gained
over the past three decades.
26
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,880
Would have to be a really buy-me-now
price, but I don't think it will be.
27
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:17,920
Five-fifty, Drew.
28
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,960
So you're taking me
to Farnborough today...
29
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,320
We're in Farnborough.
..to see a showman.Yes.
30
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,040
OK. I've not done this before.
We're off to see Joey Noyce
31
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,960
from one of the oldest showman
families in this country.
32
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,040
The family have been in the business
since the 19th century.
33
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,040
Yes.Wow.You know,
that is quite some pedigree,
34
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,160
and I find it utterly fascinating.
35
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,040
It is, it's just
a great love of mine.
36
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,600
And you've seen...
You've seen over the years,
all the stuff I've had.Yep.
37
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,920
Visiting a business
that's been running for a long time
38
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,600
can mean finding rare
or unusual items
39
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,360
that might have been off the market
for decades or even centuries.
40
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,280
And today, Drew and Al are heading
41
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,320
270 miles southeast into Hampshire
42
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,000
on an invitation from
43
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,680
an extraordinary centuries-old
44
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,400
travelling fairground family.
45
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,720
So today, erm, signage?
46
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,760
Signage.Folkie.Wherever possible.
47
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,560
Have you bought much of this?
I've never bought any of it.
48
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:27,680
I don't know a lot about it, so...
49
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,680
There's so much to know.
..you can teach me.
So much to know.
50
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,400
It's the basics.
It's a lot of it is condition.
51
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,960
You know, you very, very,
very rarely find anything
52
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,640
that's just been painted once
and left alone,
53
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,440
cos they'd overpaint
everything every year.
54
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,280
Because it wasn't
just meant to last.
55
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,640
It's meant to look shiny and vibrant
and attractive and inviting
56
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,920
and brand-new and glitzy, you know?
57
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,040
So to find things in original paint
is very, very hard.
58
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,040
You want pieces
from the late 19th century,
59
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,720
if at all possible.OK.
60
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,240
All of this showman art,
61
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:05,240
it takes me back to being a child
like that, you know.
62
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,560
Good times.Yeah.Hot dogs.
God, I love hot dogs.
63
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:10,840
And, er, and the dodgems.
64
00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:14,040
And being sick.
65
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,320
The smell of hot dogs,
diesel and sick.Yeah.
66
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,920
Those... Those are the three things.
Great memories.Great, great days.
67
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,200
In Farnborough in 1908,
68
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,640
an American showman, Samuel Cody,
69
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,840
who claimed to be
the son of Buffalo Bill,
70
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:30,680
became the first person to fly
71
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,960
a self-built powered
aircraft in the UK.
72
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,640
But Cody is not the only showman
associated with the area,
73
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,600
which has, for over a hundred years,
74
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,320
been the base for the travelling
James Noyce & Sons Funfair,
75
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,760
famous for its 19th century
golden gallopers.
76
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,760
These days, it's in the hands
77
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,560
of sixth-generation showman,
Joey Noyce.
78
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,520
I've been a travelling
showman all my life.
79
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,200
Travelling showmen is associated
with fairgrounds.
80
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,720
We own and operate fairground rides.
81
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,200
The business was started by
my great-grandfather, Nelson Noyce,
82
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,880
at the beginning of the 1900s.
83
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,800
Er, he had his traction engines
taking rides and stalls
84
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,160
from fair to fair,
from town to town.
85
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,000
My grandfather, James or Jim,
as he was known, he progressed.
86
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,480
He had a shooting gallery
and then he bought the galloper.
87
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:27,760
We've got a mixture of memorabilia
dating back probably 100 years.
88
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:30,280
A lot of it relates back
to my father,
89
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,960
my grandfather,
my great-grandfather.
90
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,680
Yes, it will be hard to let it go,
91
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,560
but it will be nice
that it's being reused
92
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,360
and then people will get pleasure
from it for years to come.
93
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,040
Hello.Hello.
Joe, how you doing? Drew.
94
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,280
Hello, Drew.
Nice to meet you.Hi, Joe. Alister.
95
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,120
You all right?Fine, thanks.
All right, thanks for having us.
96
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,080
Can we have a look around?
Of course. Where do you wanna start?
97
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,800
That looks interesting.
Yeah. Carry on. Let's have a look.
98
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,200
People go, "Oh, fairground, circus,"
and they put the two
things together.
99
00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:00,280
They are distinctly different, OK?
100
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,520
So today this is
fairground, showman,
right? It's a different thing.
101
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,960
It's a fascinating subject.
And it's important to the country.
102
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,920
Ah, OK.This is the workshop.Nice.
103
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,320
Yes. Well, it's, erm,
it's ongoing at the moment.
104
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,840
We've had one of the horses,
the leg had to be repaired.Yeah.
105
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,080
People seem to take it
as a step to get on.
106
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,360
So we've had to repair that.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
107
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,880
These are Anderson horses.
108
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,280
There's only of that size,
I think, 12 ever made.
109
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,880
Two's in here. The other ten
is in that trailer outside.
110
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,720
Wow.What are they worth, then, Joe?
Something like -
111
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,040
I don't know.
You don't know?To me,
they're part of the gallopers.Yeah.
112
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:41,280
I bought a pair of emu,
like running, galloping emu
113
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,960
and one horse,
and I paid 10,000.Really?
114
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,600
For the three, 15 years ago.
They're valuable things.Mm.
115
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,400
It goes back to my childhood.
My father was a signwriter.
116
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,440
One of his best friends
in the world,
117
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,360
his family were showmen.
118
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,000
My father became a signwriter,
thus becoming their signwriter.
119
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,760
I was brought up around it.
One of my earliest memories
120
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:05,960
was spending an entire day
on the dodgems
121
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,120
while my father painted
the rounding boards,
122
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,280
and I fell in love with the magic
of it, and there is a magic to it.
123
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,560
And because I'd been around it
from such a young age,
124
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,760
I wasn't scared of it when I first
started buying and selling things,
125
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:20,000
I understood it. I got it.
126
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,320
These are parts of the gallopers.
My grandfather made these
127
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,720
probably mid-1950s,
128
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,160
but we clean them off every year.
Yeah.I touch them up, varnish them.
129
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,480
Same with the horses.
Same with the centre panels.
130
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,840
These centre panels,
you hardly ever see those.
131
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,320
They go around the centre
of the galloper. I think...
132
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,480
Used to hide the...
Used to hide the engine.
133
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,080
Yeah. That's right, yeah.
Steam engine.You're right.
134
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,840
It's all about the nostalgia.
135
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:48,120
It's about the fun of the fair.
It brings smiles to people's faces.
136
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,600
Everything's just so bold,
so bright.
137
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,880
They're just great decorative
things, you know.
138
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:58,080
I don't buy a lot of fairground art,
so it's gonna be good today.
139
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,480
It's going to open my eyes to new
things and I'm going to learn a lot.
140
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,080
There's a nice panel at the back
there as well.
141
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,480
Jim Noyce & Sons.
That was my grandfather,
142
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,760
and they were either side
of the organ on the galloper.
143
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,880
You've got to keep that.
Yes. It's wonderful.
144
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,320
Well, yeah, it's a bit of history,
isn't it?Yeah.
145
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,160
There are an awful lot of pieces
of original decoration
146
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,160
and signage lying around.
147
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,440
Some of it needs
to stay here, cos once
it's out of the family's hands,
148
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,960
somewhere along the line,
the story gets lost,
149
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,640
and with it does
a little bit of the soul of this
business and, well, its life.
150
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,520
So no, leave it there.
Leave it there.
151
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,600
That's only the second of those
I've ever seen.
152
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,120
I think they were original
when the galloper came out.
153
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,680
They are.We had...
I think there were 24.Yeah.
154
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,160
The other 21 were rotten.
155
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,320
But they're double-sided.
Interesting to see
156
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,000
what's on the other side of them,
how they've survived.
157
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,000
I wouldn't know because
they've been hanging up there
for over 40 years now.
158
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,360
And they're on sheet steel,
aren't they?Yeah.
159
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,440
They're such a rarity.
160
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,240
OK, well, like I say,
they are quite rare.
161
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,080
We could possibly
have a conversation
162
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,200
over maybe one or two of them.
163
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,520
I'd like to retain some of them,
just to keep.
164
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,040
If you'd sell me one,
I'd be over the moon.
165
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,960
And what I would say
if I did buy one off you,
I won't sell it.You won't sell it.
166
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,840
Cos I never thought
I'd see another one.
167
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,640
These painted shields, I was
buying showman art for 20 years
168
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,320
before I even saw
one of these things.
169
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,280
And then I walk in
and there's three hanging from
there, clearly, by the same hand.
170
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,360
So this is an opportunity
not to be missed.
171
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,680
I'd really like to buy at least one.
172
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,160
It's unusual,
to say the least.
173
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,360
Can I bring the other two down?
If you want to.
174
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,160
Yeah?Yep, yep.Oh, wow.
175
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,520
These hung between the gallopers.
So when you're on the galloper,
riding away, up and down,
176
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,080
a golden horse
with a lion's face in front of you,
177
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,760
the magic just goes on and on,
178
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,040
and the noise
and the smells, you know.
179
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,480
Look at that. Oh, hang on.
Look, it's signed.
180
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,880
Is it?Oh, wow.
181
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,200
Look at that. Can you see that?
182
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,880
I can, yeah, but I don't know
who that would have been.
183
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,640
I've never heard the name.
No, nor have I.
184
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,840
So I see the signature on there
and I'm like, "Wow."
185
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,680
Cos that's, that's... That opens up
another whole world.
186
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,800
We're gonna find out now who
did them, who produced them.
187
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,200
The signature
on this double-sided shield
188
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,160
includes the name Bonheur,
189
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,800
which most likely refers
to Alfred Bonheur,
190
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,800
a Bristol-based artist born in 1884
191
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,040
who painted theatrical scenery
and fairground art.
192
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,040
Highly collectible, with
a different painting on each side,
193
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,720
Drew thinks this extraordinary piece
could be worth around £700.
194
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:50,480
Would you part with one?
You don't have to.Which one?
195
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:55,040
I'd really like one
with the name on.
196
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,880
I think that adds a lot
to it for me.
197
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,080
500.I had a higher figure, but...
198
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,160
..if you're gonna hang it
in your house...Yep. For sure.
199
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,840
..I'll let you have it for 500.
200
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,560
But all I'd ask
is when somebody comes in,
201
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,240
if it's a conversation,
202
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,920
you tell them that it came off
a Noyce's gallopers.
203
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,920
Deal.Done.Thank you.
204
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,080
Wonderful thing. Wonderful thing.
205
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,000
Whoa! Shivers down the spine.
206
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,000
That's a good piece.
I'll enjoy that.
207
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,000
In 20 years' time,
if I'm still around,
208
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,280
I can go, "Yeah, I bought
that off Joe Noyce,
209
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,600
came off his gallopers
that was handed down to him."
210
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:35,520
That's the stuff I love.
211
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,200
We've got more bits upstairs.
212
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,400
It's a bit precarious on the ladder,
but I'm sure we'll manage it.
213
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,320
Do you want me to go first?
Will it hold us all?Well,
we're gonna find out.Yeah.
214
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,280
It doesn't look
like it will, does it?
215
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,000
Come on.You'll be fine.Yeah.
216
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,720
My grandfather made these
for me and my brother.
217
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,440
They're just a little trailer.
218
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:59,000
It's a Raleigh Chopper
and a Grifter.
219
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,240
I've come here for fairground art,
mad things.
220
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,960
But I didn't expect to see
two Raleigh bikes up in a loft.Oh!
221
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,400
But I've bought a lot
of old bicycles,
222
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,920
particularly Choppers. And they've,
at the moment,
223
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,840
they're very, very collectable.
And there's two of them up here.
224
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,640
These are hardly used.
225
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,840
I thought,
"Oh, I hope they're for sale."
226
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,880
Raleigh was already
a successful bicycle company
227
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,680
dating back to two Nottingham
inventors in the 1880s,
228
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,840
but the 1969 Chopper,
229
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,280
with its nod to rugged
motorbike styling,
230
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,200
started such a craze
that it became an icon,
231
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,080
almost synonymous
with the company name.
232
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,680
Its mid-'70s successor, the Grifter,
was also hugely popular,
233
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,720
and the two models
are now prized nostalgia pieces.
234
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,760
In amazing condition,
Al thinks these two bikes
235
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,640
could be worth around £1,850.
236
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,880
Right. Do you know
what you want for them?
237
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,280
No. Make me an offer.
I can say yes or no, can't I?
238
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,560
For the pair.For the pair.
239
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,240
£850.No.
240
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,160
What?When I got 'em down,
241
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,480
I was looking at around
a 1,500-quid mark for the two.
242
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:20,720
You're going to have to meet me
a little bit nearer, I think.
How much nearer?
243
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,400
Well, I'd like a lot nearer,
but, you know.
244
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,280
Got to be some skin
left in the game.
245
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,080
Of course. No, I totally -
At 1,500, that's all the money.
246
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,760
Yeah.I think you're right, so...
247
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,040
Yeah, it is, it is. It's not going
to be anything left in that. Erm...
248
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,360
In Surrey, Drew and Al
have been invited in
249
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,880
by a showman family
who can trace their history
250
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,960
back at least two centuries.
251
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,600
There's only of that size,
I think, 12 ever made.
252
00:12:56,680 --> 00:13:00,360
Two's in here. The other ten's
in that trailer outside.Wow.
253
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,120
And tucked away in a loft space,
254
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,600
Al's made an unexpected discovery,
255
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:09,640
a pair of highly collectible
vintage rally bikes.
256
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,800
I was looking at around
a 1,500-quid mark for the two.
257
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,280
There's not going to be anything
left in that.No.Erm...
258
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,880
Grand. I think that's a...
259
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,280
That's fair. That's very fair.
That's a good offer.
260
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,200
Cool. Thank you very much.
Yeah.Thank you.
261
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,080
Oh, I could have done
with it being 850,
262
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,120
but I'm not going
to let these bikes go,
263
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,920
because they're good examples.
264
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,560
And what saved them
is they've been up in that loft,
265
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,160
they haven't been in the elements,
they've just got dusty.
266
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,320
These will be shooting gallery.
My mum's.
267
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,560
Erm, they would have been painted
in the '70s, I would imagine
that will be.Yeah.
268
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,600
Looking at the prices on there, 30p.
269
00:13:54,680 --> 00:13:59,320
These are appealing
because they're just fun.
They're a bit of a giggle.
270
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,240
Also, they're quite collectible.
271
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,560
Age-wise, they're probably heading
towards the latter part of the '70s,
272
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,080
cos when the '80s
and '90s came in,
273
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,600
it was all plastic lettering
and fibreglass by then,
274
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:13,160
so you can date them
fairly accurately as well.
275
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,200
I was just looking on the back
of that one
276
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,760
where it's been shot a few times,
and the shots have still
stuck in there.
277
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,560
They are.Yeah, shot's still in it.
The lead's in there, yeah.
278
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,000
These are great.
These are really nice.
279
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,080
Everybody's gonna want
the five shots ones
280
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,080
for their home bars, aren't they?
Yeah.Mm.
281
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,640
Do you want to...
We both want these,
282
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,720
so do you want to go halves on them?
Yeah. Yeah.
283
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,880
What would you want for all of them?
284
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,320
How many have we got? One, two,
three, four, fix, six, seven.
285
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,200
What are they worth to you, Drew?
286
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,040
Er, 300.
287
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,560
Yeah, I'll go with that.
Is that fair?Yeah, it is.
288
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,400
Cos I was thinking 250.
Cool. Righto.
289
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,360
I sort of bought them.
290
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,840
I think Drew bought them
on my behalf
291
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:02,400
or we went halves on them.
He was very good today,
292
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,800
Drew was, at spending my money.
293
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,040
They were £300 for seven.
294
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,680
That's OK. Get 80 quid each
or something for those.
295
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,160
Just follow around.
We'll have a walk down the end.
296
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,600
That's a hell of a truck.
It was my grandfather's.
297
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,080
He had it in 1947.
Then my father.
298
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,560
And it doesn't belong to me.
It belongs to my son.
299
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,240
Oh, nice.My father,
he left it to my son, yeah, so...
300
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,000
Nice.Erm, we haven't
got a lot in this one.
301
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,480
Er -Oh, hang on, you have.
OK.What about that?
302
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,000
This?Yeah.Put that down.
303
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,400
That would have been original.
304
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,600
That's -Yeah, that's really good.
That's nice.
305
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,560
That's -That's an early bit.
306
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,560
It's a carved panel with a mirror
307
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,720
as a centrepiece,
a cut glass mirror.
308
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,880
It's really good.
It's early fairground.
309
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,600
It's got layers and layers
of old paint.
310
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,800
There's lots and lots of colours
coming through.
311
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,960
Is that a bit of you?
Oh, yeah, I do like that.
312
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,200
It's fantastic, isn't it?
What would you want
for something like that?
313
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,920
This isn't off the galloper,
different carvings completely.
No, it's separate.
314
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,960
It looks Edwardian to me.
I don't know,
315
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,440
I'm selling something
that I don't know the price of.
316
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,200
So I need to be around
about three, don't I? 100.
317
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,920
100?Yeah.
318
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,160
Erm, I don't think
I'll sell it for 300.OK.
319
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:25,080
That'd have to be £500 for that.
Mm.
320
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,600
I don't know. Can we do four?
We can do 450.
321
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,400
There's probably
a bit left in that.
322
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,200
There's a bit. It's not worth
having arguing over 50 quid.
323
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,240
No.Shake his hand. Go on.
Get it bought.
324
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,720
Done.Good man. Thank you.
325
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,600
I was hoping for something
like that today, if I'm honest.
326
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,560
I wanted to buy
something fairgrounds.
327
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,720
And I didn't expect
to get something so early.
328
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:54,880
Now this. That's great.
329
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,040
You saw the horseshoe price tickets?
Yeah.Yeah.
330
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,960
They would have been made to slot in
on the original ones.
331
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,720
I dare say, if you look
on the backs, they would
have something. Yes.Ah, look.
332
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,040
Ah, yeah.Yeah, a long time ago.
333
00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:09,040
These are great. Did you do this?
No, no.
334
00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:11,600
That would be not me.
That would be my grandfather.
335
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,040
They're great.Yeah.
They're really nice.
336
00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:17,000
There's another mix of signs
in here, and they've got, you know,
337
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,480
six shillings and whatever on them.
I like them, they're charming.
338
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,120
For me, that one and that one
are the best ones.
339
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,160
Do you want to split them?
If you want, I don't mind.
340
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,040
Yeah.Cos we'll sell these.
341
00:17:28,120 --> 00:17:31,320
Yeah. They'll sell.
Yeah.Yeah.£200.
342
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,920
Thanks very much. I'm spending your
money here. Is that all right?You
never push him up.
343
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,360
Well, no, I haven't.
I'm sorry.I'm being generous
with them as well.
344
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,000
I will, next time.You'll have
him next time.I will do.
Yeah.Definitely.
345
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,320
They are what fairground art
is all about.
346
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,360
They're nostalgic, you know,
they can relate to everyone.
347
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,120
And these should sell quite fast,
I'd have thought.
348
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,000
Today with Joe, it's been great.
349
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,080
A true travelling,
fabulous family business.
350
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,080
Obviously, the piece I bought today,
351
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,400
which I just love, is that shield.
352
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,320
That piece, whenever mentioned,
353
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,000
I will say, "This came
from the Noyce family
354
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,960
and it came off their gallopers,
which they still owned."
355
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,960
It adds so much. It has a perfect,
perfect provenance.
356
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,120
Thank you.
Thanks for coming.Wonderful day.
357
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,080
Yeah, it's been interesting.
Brilliant.
358
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,080
Thank you. I've enjoyed the company.
Thank you very much.
See you.Bye-bye.Bye-bye.
359
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,440
It's been educational.
Looking around,
360
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,280
they looked and bought things that
361
00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:36,160
I never imagined them buying.
362
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,840
Yeah, it's been a fun day.
363
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,800
That was good. You've not been
to one of those places before,
364
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,280
have you?Never been to a showman.
Erm, loved it.
365
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:47,920
It's good, isn't it?Yeah.
There's something about it.
366
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,520
I don't know why I have such a...
I can see why you've got it.
367
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,080
..affinity to it.
It's addictive stuff.
368
00:18:56,360 --> 00:18:58,360
The next day,
the boys are embarking
369
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,440
on a 185-mile ride
into South Yorkshire.
370
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,480
Having enjoyed
all the fun of the fair,
371
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,360
they've been invited to a business
which is very different,
372
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,680
but which also holds
a long pedigree,
373
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:14,400
with the promise of precious items
accumulated over the years.
374
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,080
So we are in Sheffield
375
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,040
and we're off to see father and son,
Richard and Tim,
376
00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:21,160
at Woodware Repetitions.All right.
377
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,680
They are wood turners.
Wood turners?Yes.
378
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,440
OK.So, you know, basically handles.
Yeah. For tools.For tools.
379
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,440
Screwdrivers, chisels, all of that.
380
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,320
These guys,
this is what they do.OK.
381
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,840
If it's got a wooden handle on it,
they make it.
382
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,440
So what are you hoping
to find today in somewhere
383
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,840
like a wood turner's?Who knows?
Something to make a quid on.Yeah.
384
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,120
Sheffield has
an unparalleled reputation
385
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,720
for the prowess
of its steel craftsmen.
386
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,920
But skills such as wood turning have
also thrived here for centuries,
387
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,480
with woodworkers drafted in
to create items such as handles
388
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,320
for the vast quantities of tools
and cutlery produced in the city.
389
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,760
Established here in the 1940s,
Woodware Repetitions has preserved
390
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,320
traditional wood turning skills
for the best part of a century.
391
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,520
For the last six years,
the company has been
under the management
392
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,200
of a father-and-son team,
Tim and Richard Hinchliffe.
393
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,880
The machinery that we use
on site here
394
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:26,240
is probably from the 1940s,
some of it.
395
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,080
The modern machinery now is all
computer controlled and programmed.
396
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,960
A lot of these machines
are set up by hand.
397
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,960
Not much has changed.
When we're making the wooden
handles out of beech, ash,
398
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,400
all sorts of different timbers,
exotic materials,
399
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,360
we create start to finish.
We don't buy anything in.
400
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,640
The idea is that we want to retain
401
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,440
some of the items that we feel are
part of the fabric of the business,
402
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,960
but at the same time, we've got
to have a bit of a tidy up
403
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,360
and just make a bit of space
and what have you.
404
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,840
Reasonable offers will be considered
on almost anything.
405
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,080
That must be the doorbell.Yeah.
406
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,320
Brilliant. Can I do it again?
407
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,600
Hello? Hello. How are you doing?
How you doing? Drew.
408
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,040
Richard. Nice to meet you.
You doing all right? Yeah?
How are you?
409
00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:20,600
How are you doing? Alister.
Pretty good, pretty good.
410
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,480
Nice to meet you.
Loving the doorbell.
411
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,920
Yeah. Come in and have a look.
Come on in.Thank you.
412
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,320
Whoa! Look at this.
413
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,320
First thing that hits
you is the smell.Yeah,
it's the smell of wood.It's lovely.
414
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,960
So, what are they making here?
They're turning wood handles.
415
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,800
For wood turners' tools.
These are wood turners' tools.
416
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,640
They're really beautiful.Yeah.
Aren't they?
417
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,840
First impressions are handmade.
418
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,080
You can smell it in the air.
You can sense it.
419
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,480
There's guys working on machines
420
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,440
that are coming up to sort of 70,
80 years old.
421
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,920
For me, seeing great
British companies like this,
422
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,440
small businesses still going
and vibrant and busy,
423
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,080
that's never gonna
be boring to me.
424
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,680
These are the blanks that we cut
425
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,000
from the board you've seen outside.
Yeah.
426
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,240
Er, obviously, they're all cut
to a dimension on site here.
427
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,720
And then they're centred and turned.
428
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:27,040
Blimey.We do about between 500
and 1,000 handles a day.
429
00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:28,720
A day?A day?Per day.
430
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:34,080
Start doing the maths. It's a lot.
Yeah.Yeah, it's a lot, that. Yeah.
431
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,080
There's a lot of noise here.
A lot of dust, a lot of dirt.
432
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,640
And you can see these objects,
things I want to buy.
433
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,080
As soon as I walk in,
there's a green cupboard.
434
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,400
Beyond that, there's something else.
435
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,560
That's fab.It's nice, isn't it?
It just needs a handle.
436
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,480
From the outside,
it doesn't look much.
437
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,400
Then you open it up.
Pigeon holes all the way through.
438
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,320
They're very desirable. They were
so desirable, in the '90s,
439
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,840
we used to buy those things
and take the doors off,
440
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:02,560
because people preferred to have
the open pigeon holes.
441
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,840
Do you know what you want for it,
or do you want me to make you
an offer?No idea. Offer.OK.
442
00:23:08,360 --> 00:23:09,960
170.
443
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,440
In Sheffield, Drew and Al
have the chance
444
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,360
to trawl a wood turning factory
445
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,680
where the craftsmanship dates back
the best part of a century.
446
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,240
These are wood turners' tools.
They're really beautiful.
447
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,040
And within minutes of arriving,
Al's keen to close a deal
448
00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:39,520
for a highly saleable
industrial-style cupboard.
449
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,800
Do you know what you want for it,
or do you want me to make you
an offer?No idea. Offer.OK.
450
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,000
170.
451
00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:52,600
Make it two and then
we're there, aren't we?
452
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,240
You just could see that coming,
couldn't you?Yeah.
453
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,040
Two hundred.
I had that in mind, yeah.
454
00:23:57,120 --> 00:23:59,880
You had that in mind?Yeah.
Go on, then. Thank you.
455
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:01,800
£200 straightaway was fine.
456
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,480
You know, he would be
able to get rid of that
with relative ease, I think.
457
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,720
More pigeonholes.Of course.
458
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:13,080
Surplus to requirements?
Yeah?I think so, yeah.Yeah, yeah.
459
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,600
OK. I'm not gonna bid you
strong on them. Sixty quid.
460
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,600
A hundred quid?
461
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,280
No, I'd rather 70 in that, you know.
462
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:30,960
Seventy-five, then.
Thank you.
463
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,160
OK. Yeah. Cool.Yeah.
464
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,720
The pigeonholes, we could
just flip them in the trade,
465
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,960
make a couple of hundred quid
each or £100 each.
466
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,600
People always want storage, and
that's what they're really good for.
467
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,840
Into the ferrule shop.Ferrules.
468
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,440
The bit on the end there.
Yeah, on the handle.
469
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,000
We make them here on site,
all out of brass tubes.
470
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:55,560
So brass, steel, copper.Brilliant.
Everything start to finish
on the handle is done here.
471
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,960
We went into the ferrule room,
and a ferrule is the bit,
472
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,480
the steel, brass, whatever bit
that goes around the edge of that,
473
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,240
it's where you can secure knives,
et cetera, et cetera,
474
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,360
screwdrivers, whatever.
It's the end of that.
475
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,040
So what's this? This is to go,
is it, this pigeonhole?
476
00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:16,640
These pigeonholes, these are to go.
477
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,760
So we're currently using them
for storage.
478
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,720
What timber is that? It's not pine.
479
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:26,000
No. See the grain there.
That's pine.
480
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,360
That shelf's pine. That's not.
That's a type of hardwood.
481
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,720
Yeah. That could be sapele.Yeah.
482
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,200
There's a big pigeonhole,
open pigeonhole
483
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,320
on the right-hand wall. And it's
made out of tropical hardwood,
484
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,280
the supports and sections of it.
Why would they do that?
485
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:44,480
They would do that
when that type of wood
486
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,840
didn't have a massive,
massive value.
487
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,840
So it's probably the very
latter part of the 19th century.
488
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,040
Interesting.
489
00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:56,400
What would you want
for something like this?
490
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,920
Do you want to go halves on it,
split it?We could.
491
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,320
I think it's worth 400 quid
as it stands.
492
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,560
That would be my top bid. I wouldn't
want to spend any more for it.
493
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,680
It's a yes or no on that one for us.
494
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,760
I think we could go with that, yeah.
Are you happy with that, Al?
495
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,040
Yeah. We'll go halves, yeah.
Sure?Yeah.
496
00:26:12,120 --> 00:26:14,480
Thank you.Appreciate it.
Not a problem.Nice one.
497
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,200
It's quite long, but not too long.
498
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,000
It's about the length
of a kitchen table. Great.
499
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,520
And it's not painted,
which is another bonus.
500
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,080
And the shelves will slide out.
Happy days.
501
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,400
This is something you can sell.
502
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,880
Ah, this is the saw shop down here.
503
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,320
We'll wheel the timber up and cut it
up into the lovely turning blanks.
504
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,360
What a fabulous room!
Make a brilliant showroom.
505
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,440
It would, wouldn't it?
You've got the river
just under the windows.
506
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,960
I mean, yeah, people come and fish
out of the window sometimes.No.
507
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,800
Yeah. One of our neighbours
comes down on a Friday afternoon
508
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,960
every so often.
Fishes out the window?Yeah.
509
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,520
Really?Or gets the ladders down
and goes and sits on the bank.
510
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:56,720
Oh, yeah, those tubs
may be up for grabs.
511
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,800
What a great room.
And I can see these green trolleys.
512
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,600
I just like the colour of these.
513
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,120
I like the look of them,
the rustic feel they've got.
514
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,600
They need a bit of work,
but nothing a couple of screws
won't sort out.
515
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,600
It's a bit more than that.
Is it?Yeah.
516
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,760
Yeah.You have to make them
retail or home-friendly.
517
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,480
So I used to say
to the lads who work for me,
I'd buy loads of stuff like that,
518
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,880
and I'd say,
"It has to be clean enough
to push across a white carpet."
519
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,760
Makes sense. Yeah.Are these
a bit of you?Yes. Definitely.
520
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,120
Yes, thought so.
They all need repair.
521
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,600
They're all in about a similar
shape to each other.
522
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,480
These two ain't that bad.
523
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,640
Every mill in this country
has got these in or had these in,
524
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,960
mainly for cloth,
all the way through
525
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,400
to steel shavings and sawdust.
526
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,960
And here, what they've been using
them for is just moving the blanks.
527
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,720
And then Al, straightaway,
"I'm interested in these."
528
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,960
So what would you want,
£100 apiece?
529
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:56,400
Cos there's a lot...
There's a lot of work if you want
to part with a couple of them.
530
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,960
Do you want that little one as well?
That's the best one.
531
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,680
That's the best one of the bunch.
532
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:08,880
What would you want for that one?
Probably 150.150. So £100.
533
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,040
Couple of the green ones.
And then 150.150 for that.
534
00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:15,840
Yeah.Yeah. Got it. Cheers.Cheers.
535
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,960
People buy them for log baskets,
and that's what they are these days.
536
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:24,080
Or put your toys in them
or just put them in a shop,
537
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,360
fill them with blankets.
Fill them with cushions.
They'll look great.
538
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,560
Old roof finial.
That roof finial.
539
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,640
People bring them to us saying,
"This has fallen off
540
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,920
as I've done the roof.
Can you do it for me?"
541
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,800
That's something I'd want to buy,
542
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,080
purely cos it's just
a sculptural, beautiful thing.Yeah.
543
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,880
I think it's fab.
I really like that.Yeah.
544
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,640
That's a great-looking thing.
545
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,000
So when you look at the gable end
of a house in the Victorian era,
546
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,600
from the sort of late 1860s onwards,
they had this sort of finial.
547
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,040
So it's a tall, vertical square
section with a turned finial.
548
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,040
It's one of those. And he's just cut
the good bit off the top
549
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,400
to use as a blank to make
another one. It's beautiful.
550
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,080
It's a beautiful thing. So we would
term this in the business
551
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,160
as an architectural element.
552
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,320
For that as it stands,
553
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:17,960
I'll happily give you, max,
150 quid.Yeah. That's fine.
554
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,880
You happy with that?I'm happy.
You are. Yeah. Cheers.Yeah.
555
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,520
There we go.Thank you, mate.
Thank you. Cool.Thank you.
556
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,280
That's all the money for that.
But it's just a nice one.
And it fits in the boot.
557
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,480
Yeah, it's really good.
Just a nice one.
Thank you very much.
558
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,760
I want it, I want it a lot.
So I went in with a strong bid.
559
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,760
I think half of this would have
bought it, but I wanted it.
560
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,760
So I paid 150 quid for it,
which is a lot.
561
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,600
But when it's that little
bit better, pay the money.
562
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,080
Make sure you get it.
563
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,040
I'd be very happy
to own that at 150 quid.
564
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:53,240
Well, my loading
of the van's easy. I don't know,
yours is going to take forever.
565
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,800
You're helping.Thank you very much,
fellas. Shall we get loaded up?
566
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,240
I've really enjoyed today.
My love of British craftsmanship
567
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:08,640
and the small family businesses
that run them is well-known.
568
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,200
And this family are keeping up
that tradition.
569
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,600
But my favourite buy
is definitely that finial.
570
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,280
It's somewhat a useless thing,
571
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,320
but it's a beautiful useless thing.
572
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,000
I paid all the money for it,
don't know what on earth for,
just had to buy it.
573
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,560
Thank you very much, fellas.
Thank you for coming down.
574
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,240
I appreciate you coming,
I really do.Thank you.
All the best. Thanks very much.
575
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,120
Nice to meet you. Yeah.
Take care. See you later.Bye-bye.
576
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,840
I'm more than pleased
with what they've purchased today.
577
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,960
And it's gonna
help us tidy the place up.
578
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,640
Yeah, it's nice tidying up.
579
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,920
It's been fantastic knowing
that there is value
580
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,960
in what's knocking about.
You know what I mean? That it's
worth something to someone.
581
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,560
Fab. No, that's good. Nice people.
Good businessmen.
582
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,520
You know what I mean?
Proper businessmen.And it's just
nice to get into those places.
583
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,560
There isn't many of them left,
is there?
584
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,880
When I started warehouses like that,
there wasn't many people
585
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,320
that really wanted the stuff
out of them.Right.
586
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,440
And I remember getting laughed
at for buying a lot of it.Yeah.
587
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,160
And then it became in vogue,
you know. And all of a sudden,
588
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,200
we all felt we were really clever.
589
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,000
It's already been a week
of outstanding finds,
590
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,680
but before they head home,
591
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,120
the boys are stopping off
in the Midlands to see
592
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,960
if rich pickings might be on offer
from a dealer
593
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,240
with a century and a half
of treasure hunting behind her.
594
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,080
Right. So we're off to Warwick
595
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,200
and we're off to meet a lady
called Debbie Reeve.Right.
596
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:39,240
And she runs Quinneys Antiques.
OK.Right?
597
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,080
Yeah.Now, they've
been antique dealing
598
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,920
since the second half
of the 19th century,
599
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:51,400
and Debbie, who we're meeting today,
is fourth or fifth generation,
600
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,720
er, specialising in doing
their own restoration in-house.
601
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,880
I'm looking forward to it,
especially somewhere
I've not been before,
602
00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,800
who's got such a huge history.
603
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,120
Warwick's famous castle,
on a bend in the River Avon,
604
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,160
was built by William the Conqueror
605
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,760
to guard against rebellion
in the Midlands,
606
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,960
subsequently becoming home
to successive powerful families
607
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,200
who played pivotal roles
in British history.
608
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,800
In the 1970s, the town of Warwick
also became home
609
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,840
to an antiques family
with a formidable reputation
610
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,360
dating back well over a century,
611
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,840
now in the hands of fifth-generation
dealer, Debbie Reeve.
612
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,960
I started work with my father
about 30 years ago.
613
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:40,640
Unfortunately, he died a couple
of years ago. He was 92, fair age.
614
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,080
And so I've been, yeah,
I've been in it for 30 years.
615
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:48,120
We really specialise in Georgian
period furniture. Good-quality.
616
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,280
The main reason is cos
they're beautiful.
617
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,600
They're beautiful
and they're beautifully made.
618
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,920
I mean, look, look,
you see these dovetails?
619
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:01,080
Handmade tiny, tiny dovetails,
serpentine front.
620
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:05,040
I mean, nobody
could do this these days.
You're buying history
621
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,760
and love and skill
that just doesn't exist any more.
622
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,800
Debbie. Drew, how are you doing?
Hi.Nice to meet you.
623
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,520
Hello, Debbie.Hi.I'm Alister.
Are you all right? Good.
624
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,960
Very beautiful,
traditional antique shop.
625
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,320
Can we have a look around?
Yeah, of course.Go in there?Yeah.
626
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,960
So you guys have been here
for a long time, I believe.
627
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,400
Well, five generations.
Right, five generations.
Five generations?Yeah.
628
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,280
So we started in 1860.
629
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,080
That... I think that one's
the longest-serving
630
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:38,920
antiques families
I've ever heard of.
631
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,720
I can't think of anybody else
that's longer than that.
632
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,000
Well, I didn't realise, erm,
that this is an antiques business
633
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,480
that goes back
to the 19th century.
634
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,560
So I think that makes it
one of the longest-running
635
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,360
antique dealerships in this country,
636
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,760
and certainly, the longest-running
I've dealt with.
637
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,720
Erm, quite incredible.
638
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,000
So lots of nice things. Erm,
I don't know what I'm looking for,
639
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,880
but I know it when I see it.
Anything for you, Alister?
640
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,200
I do like those dumps. They're nice.
641
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,200
OK.They're a nice colour,
aren't they?
642
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,480
With the lights going through them.
With the lights, they're lovely.
643
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,600
I don't know a lot about these.
I've got to start learning
more about these things.
644
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,400
I know they're called dumps.
What they are basically
645
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,760
is the wastage from glassblowers.
646
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,560
But they've become
very, very desirable.
647
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,720
The practice of making dumps
began in the Victorian era,
648
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,480
when bottle manufacturers were taxed
on how much glass they produced
649
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,280
rather than how much they used.
650
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,000
To reduce expensive waste,
ornamental objects were made
651
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,880
and sold for uses such
as paperweights and doorstops.
652
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,800
Al thinks this typical example
made from green bottle glass
653
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,000
could be worth around £100.
654
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,000
How much is that dump?
A hundred.
655
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,680
In Warwick, the boys
are trawling the collection
656
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,480
of a fifth-generation
antiques-dealing family,
657
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,240
and Al's started the ball rolling
on a Victorian glass ornament
658
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,720
known as a dump.
659
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,640
How much is that dump?
A hundred.
660
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,960
OK, but you might -
He makes that noise...
661
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,760
Whatever, if you just said £5,
he'd have gone...
662
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:31,960
No, what I was thinking, Drew -
We'll have sighing lessons.
Sighing lessons today, yeah.
663
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,800
Could we call it 70?Yeah.
664
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,160
That was easy, wasn't it?
665
00:35:37,240 --> 00:35:40,800
Put it somewhere in the shop
where there's a bit of light
going through it,
666
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,880
it'd look a million dollars,
and then there will be profit.
667
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,960
I've just got to market it right.
668
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,040
What's that little
head in there?Can I -
Yeah, you can look at it.
669
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,680
It's wooden, is it?
It's a wooden one. It's an old
wooden doll's head, yeah.
670
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,720
I've kept it because I don't know
enough about dolls' heads.
671
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:04,000
It's really interesting.
It's carved in the same way as
a lay figure from the same period.
672
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:08,080
Right, OK.
Give me a figure.No.
673
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,520
It's not for sale,
or you just don't know?
I want to know more about it.
674
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,240
Some things,
you just want to hang onto until
somebody can really, you know...
675
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:19,640
That's intriguing, though.
There's a carved head,
676
00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:22,920
extraordinarily beautiful
little thing. And she said,
677
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,360
"I've kept that because
I'm finding out about it."
678
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,120
And I absolutely,
completely agree with her,
679
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,520
which is, I would
have kept that too.
680
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,920
What a marvellous little thing.
681
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,240
There was one thing out here
that interested me,
682
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,600
which was this mirror when I came
through, it's just really unusual.
683
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:43,200
It is. Cushion mirror, circa 1700,
I think.
684
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,240
Can I take it off the wall?
Yeah, let's do that. It's heavy.
685
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,840
Go on. Now...
686
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,160
The plate's obviously wrong.Yeah,
yeah, the plate's been replaced.
687
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:59,560
It's just been...
Is it a continental -
..covered in French polish.
688
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,480
Yeah, yeah.Mm.Caked in it.
But what really interests me
689
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,080
is this sort of
jagged tooth-type design
690
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,320
and wave running around the edge
here that I really like the look of.
691
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,200
Once restored, it will look
really something,
692
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,280
because that timber around
the outside, all of that decoration
693
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:19,440
would be really, really vibrant,
back when it was brand-new,
694
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,360
because of the mix of timbers.
695
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,520
Known as a cushion mirror
because of the convex cut
696
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,560
of the skilfully decorated
mixed timber frame,
697
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,520
this example probably dates
from the turn of the 18th century.
698
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,960
It was only in the 17th century
that glass began to be used
699
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,440
for mirrors
instead of polished metal,
700
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,360
but the original plate is long gone.
701
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,480
If the French polish, which has been
added later, can be removed
702
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,720
and the glass is replaced with
something closer to the original,
703
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:52,400
then Drew thinks this unusual piece
could fetch around £1,200.
704
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,400
It's just down to price,
really. What, realistically,
705
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,240
would you let that go for?
706
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:01,240
Well, go on, what do you think
it's worth, realistically,
for you to buy it?
707
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,640
Well, it's your shop,
so I don't like to say that.
708
00:38:04,720 --> 00:38:07,360
You've been doing this...1,200?
..longer than me. No.
709
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,120
No. OK. Go on, then.
710
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:15,520
Erm, I honestly see it cleaned up
and repaired at around 1,200.
711
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:21,000
I think it's worth 400 quid.Really?
Yeah. You asked me my opinion.
712
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:28,080
500?No, I just don't see it.
I'll tell you what, here's an idea.
713
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:33,400
I'll pay 400 for it as it is, right?
But could you restore it for me?
714
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,440
Yeah. OK.
Would that be all right?Yeah.
715
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,880
Would that sweeten the deal?
That would sweeten the deal.
Good compromise.
716
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:44,120
So I said, "I'll tell you what. I'll
give you £400 for it as it stands,"
which is not seeing her a profit.
717
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,920
"But how about you just restore it
for me and send me the bill?"
718
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,160
I think that's gonna cost me
about £400 to £500
719
00:38:51,240 --> 00:38:54,360
to get that work done.
But I'm getting something back,
720
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,960
which I think will be
absolutely beautiful,
721
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,440
if I've seen the other work
that's gone on in here.
722
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,360
Cool. Right. Are we done?
I think so.
723
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,760
All right, I need to give you
some money, and then
we can load up the van.
724
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,960
Yeah?I'll sort that out.
Come on.After you.
725
00:39:10,720 --> 00:39:13,960
It's been great to visit somewhere
with such history,
726
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,880
a family and a business
with such a huge history,
727
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,040
and I've ended up buying something
I'm really pleased with,
728
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,480
and I've got this
wonderful, now, expectation
729
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,080
of ending up
with something really beautiful
730
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,240
arriving in my warehouse
that's ready to sell.
731
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,040
So the mirror in the hallway,
an interesting one.
732
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,840
We're going to restore it for him.
And that's gonna be nice
to see it through.
733
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,880
So let's just hope I haven't made
a huge mistake.
734
00:39:42,240 --> 00:39:46,600
So that mirror, it's a valuable and
very, very desirable little thing
735
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,600
if the resto comes out right.
Clean, yeah.So we'll see.
736
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,360
So hopefully, in a week
or two's time, we'll get it back.
737
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:56,560
So yeah. So you're happy.Yeah.
I bought a dump.Yeah, you did.
738
00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:00,960
I did, yeah.Least said about that,
the better.Leave that there,
I think, isn't it?Yeah.Yeah.
739
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,640
In the Quinneys workshop,
veteran restorer Alex
740
00:40:05,720 --> 00:40:07,840
is making a start
on the mirror frame
741
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,000
using paint stripper and wire wool
742
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,760
to remove the thick layer
of French polish.
743
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,920
The stripping is done on that bit.
Now what I have to do
744
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,480
is just go over it and get the rest
of the stripper cleaned off.
745
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,160
This is just methylated spirits,
746
00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:28,520
just to clean the paint stripper
off the wood.
747
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,720
Boy, I'm amazed,
the difference in the colour.
748
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,560
You couldn't see any
of the marquetry.
749
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,200
It didn't show up at all
before it was stripped off.
750
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,960
It's gonna look amazing
when it's finished.
751
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,640
I'm very happy with that.
It's come out a lot better
than I thought it was going to.
752
00:40:48,720 --> 00:40:52,360
There's no nasty surprises
underneath the polish,
753
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,960
so we can get on and oil it.
754
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,800
I'm going over it with a linseed oil
mixed with turpentine.
755
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:07,680
It will sink into the wood and bring
out the colours of the marquetry,
756
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,200
and hopefully, warm it up a bit.
757
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,480
I think you can see
the difference straightaway
758
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,440
when you put the oil on it.
It's a more natural finish.
759
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,960
This is how it would
have been done in the day
when this mirror was made.
760
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:23,680
Cos French polish
is a later 19th century invention,
761
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,640
so it would not have been used
on a mirror of this age.
762
00:41:27,720 --> 00:41:29,680
Over the next 24 hours or so,
763
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:34,600
this will darken down
and ping out at you even more.
764
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,680
Alex has sourced two pieces
of period-correct glass for Drew.
765
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,960
Drew's asked for a split mirror
to be put in.
766
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,640
Back in the day, larger mirrors
would have a split glass in it
767
00:41:47,720 --> 00:41:50,200
because it wasn't
physically possible to make
768
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,080
a piece of glass at that size.
769
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:57,000
The old glass is fitted with wedges
that will hold the glass into it,
770
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,200
and it'll stop it falling out,
so we'll glue them in.
771
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,400
Well, this is animal glue,
which is the more natural glue
772
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,240
that would be used at the period.
773
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,800
It's not one
of the modern synthetic glues.
774
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:16,240
The backboard goes on now,
covers all this up.
775
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:23,280
Whenever I can,
I try and use the original holes.
776
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:27,800
We don't want to put new holes
in the back of the mirror.
777
00:42:31,240 --> 00:42:35,880
There we go. That should be OK.
That looks fine.
778
00:42:39,240 --> 00:42:43,040
I'll go over it again, and over
the next two or three weeks,
779
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,920
we'll have some sort of a polish
on it that Drew, I'm hoping,
will be happy with.
780
00:42:48,240 --> 00:42:50,800
With the mirror recovering
the vibrant look intended
781
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,240
by its late 17th-century maker,
782
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,120
the week's haul proves
what can be found at businesses
783
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:57,960
which have stood the test of time.
784
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,800
This week's been brilliant.
We visited three long-standing
785
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,320
established businesses.
Noyce & Sons.
786
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:11,000
Oh, I had a really good time there,
and that fabulous Victorian panel.
787
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:16,800
Washed it, just a gentle wash, and
the colours just came out amazing.
788
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,360
The Grifter, the Chopper
sold straightaway.
789
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,080
I've got a collector in Aberystwyth.
790
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:25,360
He is one of the biggest collectors
for Chopper bikes in the UK,
791
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,040
so that was an easy one.
792
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,440
Just seeing Drew's eyes light up
when he bought the shield,
793
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:32,280
you know, that was great too.
794
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,720
Woodware Repetitions.
The trolleys went out to the trade,
795
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,880
as did the cupboard.
So yeah,
796
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,440
another brilliant location,
and we did really well.
797
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,360
Let's get back out there next week,
798
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,800
let's fill the van again,
cos that's what we do.
