0:00:02 > 0:00:05It is the nation's favourite antiques experts with £200 each...
0:00:05 > 0:00:07I love that.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11..a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:11 > 0:00:12Yippee!
0:00:12 > 0:00:14I want pieces that could fly.
0:00:14 > 0:00:19The end? To make the biggest profit at auction, but it is no mean feat.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Hello, ladies.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27So, will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:32- But there is nobody bidding. - This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:37 > 0:00:42This week we're out on the road with antique aficionados Mark Stacey
0:00:42 > 0:00:43and Paul Laidlaw.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47That horrible word strategy comes up, but again I haven't
0:00:47 > 0:00:51got one, actually, cos the one I used on the first occasion
0:00:51 > 0:00:53didn't work, so I think I'll give up on them.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Antiques dealer Mark Stacey is a bit of a joker.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03You know, I don't think Paul is very happy about being in this show.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06No. I mean, he's furious.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08And he is game for anything.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- Would you like to have a go? - No, not really.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Auctioneer Paul Laidlaw simply fizzes with energy.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20I want pieces that could fly, and that is a good feeling.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Loving it!
0:01:24 > 0:01:27And he is a tough-talking Scotsman when it comes to naming his price.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30I wish I hadn't asked you the price now cos I want to buy that
0:01:30 > 0:01:32for a tenner, to be honest with you.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38At the last auction, Mark's biggest profit was a measly £12.50.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Oh!
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Paul, however, enjoyed small,
0:01:42 > 0:01:46steady profits to make him the winner by a whisker.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Cheers, buddy.
0:01:49 > 0:01:55From his original £200, Mark Stacey has a portly £186.46
0:01:55 > 0:01:58rattling around in his back pocket.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01And just ahead by a nose is Paul Laidlaw.
0:02:01 > 0:02:07He managed to add just under a tenner to his £200 kitty,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10giving him £209.92 to spend.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- The first day of our second leg, Paul.- Yeah!
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I've got you in my sights.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21I've got that £24 lead in my sights.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28The 1967 Sunbeam Alpine GT is the chaps' vehicle of choice,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31and sometimes she ain't as smooth as she could be.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33RATTLING
0:02:33 > 0:02:36That doesn't sound good, does it?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Mark and Paul will, one way or another,
0:02:41 > 0:02:45travel over 300 miles from Sabden, Lancaster,
0:02:45 > 0:02:47to Bridgwater, in Somerset.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49And on today's show, we begin our shopping
0:02:49 > 0:02:53mission in the village of Holywell Green, West Yorkshire.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57And we'll auction in Cobridge, in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02The boys are sharing their first shop of the day
0:03:02 > 0:03:03in Barnyard Antiques.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Come on, stop gassing, we need to get in there.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Time is ticking.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Here's a tip, boys,
0:03:09 > 0:03:13you're selling at a general auction that specialises in ceramics.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17So, first to have a go is the ever-youthful Mark Stacey.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I have found this model of a collie dog.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28You know, it's pottery.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Capstone pottery, and I've never heard of them.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33It's priced at £15.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36So, if we can get it for five or something,
0:03:36 > 0:03:38that might be a possibility.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Well, Paul is also thinking ceramics.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Appears to be late 19th century
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Austrian, Viennese porcelain.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Of its period.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59A classical form to the urn,
0:03:59 > 0:04:04but the prominent feature is a scantily-clad maiden.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07But we turn it upside down and, yes,
0:04:07 > 0:04:11we see the triangular pad mark
0:04:11 > 0:04:14associated with Royal Dux.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17But...at auction...
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Price...£60.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27And dealer Richard arrives to talk money.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Well, I'm just going to beg you, cos I don't want to waste your time.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34I'll make you an offer and you can say, "No, it'll never happen."
0:04:34 > 0:04:36I need to buy them for 20 quid.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42- It needs to be more than that. I'd go to 40 quid.- Nah.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45I'll keep looking. You think about 20 quid.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47But I'll keep looking.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49I can't go to 40, I just... Bah!
0:04:51 > 0:04:54We'll both do a bit of thinking and we'll come back.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Excellent, thanks very much.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Keep looking.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01And it's not long before something else takes his eye.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Two vintage fishing reels.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Technically, they are centre pinned Nottingham wheels.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15They could have been made anywhere, but they're decorative.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20They're priced at 18 for the two.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26If I could get those for a single-digit sum...
0:05:26 > 0:05:29It's a big ask, but not a horrendous one.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30I'm going to give that a go.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33You know I'm going to be cheeky.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I'll try to be accommodative for everyone.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Are they ever going to be 20 quid? - I'll take 30 for them.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42If I give you the 30 quid for them...
0:05:45 > 0:05:48..can they be a pittance?
0:05:48 > 0:05:52I could have 40 quid, I'd have to leave it at that.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I think I'm giving it to you as I am.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- Deal?- You're a good man, good man.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04So, £30 for the pair of the vases and ten pounds
0:06:04 > 0:06:07for the fishing reels. It's a great start to the day, Paul.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Reel 'em in!
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Finally, Mark gets a chance to speak with Richard.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16- It's this.- Oh, Lassie!- Yeah.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I mean, you haven't got much on it anyway, but I think the price
0:06:19 > 0:06:22that you've got on it, it's going to make that in the auction.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25I've got to pay you a fiver for it, Richard.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29I've got to, that's all I can pay for it.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Make it eight quid.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34I tell you what, just could we go to seven?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36OK, I've been fair with you both, then.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Lovely. Are you sure?
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Thankfully, Mark has managed to buy something.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Well, you could say it's...interesting?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Seems Paul wants to spend, spend, spend today
0:06:49 > 0:06:51because he's found something else.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- Riding crop?- Yeah.- For sale?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57For a reasonable offer, yeah.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Can I have a look. Did it just come in?
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Well, just one of my stalls, really.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08I was going to do a bit more research on them before...
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Quite right. Two Swaine and Adeney.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Swaine and Adeney were established in 1750
0:07:14 > 0:07:17and were an exclusive London-based company
0:07:17 > 0:07:20specialising in equestrian and leather goods.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Because they're relatively modern, late 20th century,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26they are...they're usable.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31- Can I just make you an offer? - Yeah.- 40 quid.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33You need to come a little bit more.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- I'll give you 50 quid.- I think I've done well with you before.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42And I think I'll have to stick at 60 quid.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- Meet me in the middle, fiver, 55. - All right.- Good man.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50The first shop of the day has proved a mixed bag.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53While Paul has splashed £95, Mark has spent
0:07:53 > 0:07:54just seven pounds.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56They're back on the road
0:07:56 > 0:08:00and Paul is dropping Mark off five miles away in Sowerby Bridge.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06The market town lies in the district of Calderdale
0:08:06 > 0:08:09and is overlooked by Wainhouse Tower,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12the tallest folly in the world.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Mark's visiting Bridge Antiques.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16He's only spent seven pounds,
0:08:16 > 0:08:20so will he spend more of the folding stuff in here?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Hi, Mark, I'm Stan. - Nice to meet you, Stan.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30This is very vintage. This is very 1970s.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33So, punch bowl, ladle and glasses.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38So you could make your fruit cocktail punch in there
0:08:38 > 0:08:42and then you come over with your glass, lift it up.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46And pour it, either side actually, there is a little lip on both sides.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50And I'm not sure how popular they are these days.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53They are extremely fragile
0:08:53 > 0:08:56and it is very unusual to find a whole set, actually.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00No price, we might ask about that.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03So, over to Stan to talk business.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Stan is holding the fort for the owner today.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- Do you know how much the punch set is?- The punch set is £40.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12£40, mmm...
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Quite a fun set.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18I have no idea what it would make in the saleroom.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Stan phones the owner to get the best price.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23OK, very well, bye-bye.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Yeah, so we will do it for 20. - My God!
0:09:28 > 0:09:31What have I done? I need a cocktail.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33- Are you sure?- Absolutely.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35- Stan, thank you very much indeed. - It's not a problem.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37£20, how good is that?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40It must be worth a go at £20, mustn't it?
0:09:40 > 0:09:44You could say he's as pleased as punch with that buy.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47I'm happy!
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Paul, meanwhile, is on his way to Huddersfield.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Look at what Laidlaw has gone and done,
0:09:54 > 0:09:56I've blown half my budget again!
0:09:56 > 0:10:00With two more shots to go.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01He who dares, wins.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04That's the spirit, Paul!
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Paul is visiting the Tolson Museum,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11which houses collections on the history of Huddersfield.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14He is meeting with Joanne Catlow to talk about the social
0:10:14 > 0:10:17uprising of the Luddite movement.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22Huddersfield has a strong link with radicalism and the museum has
0:10:22 > 0:10:26a large exhibition dedicated to civil unrest.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Today, we often use the term Luddite to describe someone
0:10:31 > 0:10:34who is stubbornly opposed to new technology.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37But at the start of the 19th century,
0:10:37 > 0:10:41the Luddites were mainly textile artisans who were fiercely
0:10:41 > 0:10:45opposed to the new machinery that was going to replace their jobs
0:10:45 > 0:10:46and make them destitute.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52The museum has a model of the revolutionary shearing frame
0:10:52 > 0:10:53that started the crisis.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57A machine like this could do the work of five men.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58Oh, my word, yeah.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00An initial outlay for the mill owner,
0:11:00 > 0:11:02but then you have got less workforce.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Yeah. Four men are going to be pretty upset...
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- Absolutely.- ..at that prospect. - Exactly.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- And so those four men were up in arms about this.- Right.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- And wanted to get rid of this machinery...- Yeah, sure.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18..and so met in secret,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21because it was illegal for groups of men to meet at that time.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- All right.- Yeah, no trade unions.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28They met in secret and planned their attacks on mills that had
0:11:28 > 0:11:32- these type of shearing frames, to smash them.- Right.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37By 1812, the Industrial Revolution was gathering momentum
0:11:37 > 0:11:42just as the attacks were increasing in and around Huddersfield.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Often they used these type of things.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46It look like a hammer to me.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Your mill owners aren't going to take kindly to their new plant
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- being smashed up.- Not at all.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54They did lots of things to defend themselves.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58- Some people built barricades with cannons.- Really?
0:11:58 > 0:12:02And mill owners slept in their mills with the local militia.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06In fact, they were so scared that they had 1,000 troops
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- stationed in Huddersfield in 1812.- Really?
0:12:10 > 0:12:14The Luddites' fight for their livelihoods threatened social
0:12:14 > 0:12:17harmony so much that the British government,
0:12:17 > 0:12:20fearing revolution, committed more troops on the ground
0:12:20 > 0:12:23in Yorkshire and Lancashire than they did in the field
0:12:23 > 0:12:24against Napoleon.
0:12:24 > 0:12:30The Luddites liked to use elements of surprise in their attacks.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31That always worked.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34A big, big attack on the mill
0:12:34 > 0:12:37at Rawfolds near Cleckheaton,
0:12:37 > 0:12:40where the mill owner was ready for them,
0:12:40 > 0:12:42fired, two Luddites were killed
0:12:42 > 0:12:45and that was the last big attack on their mill.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49After that, they decided to attack the mill owners themselves.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Oh, my word.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55And this sword was reputedly owned by William Horsfall,
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- who was a local mill owner...- Yeah.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00..who had proudly stated that he would ride up
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- to his saddle girth in Luddite blood.- Bring it on.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09Unfortunately for him, on his way home on 28th April, 1812,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12he was ambushed and shot and killed.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15And this was reputedly the sword he was carrying at the time.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18It is down and dirty and really horrific, isn't it?
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Because on either side, arguably,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22there are parties fighting for their livelihood.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- That's right.- The tensions are...
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- It doesn't get any more important to you than that, does it?- No.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Putting bread on the table.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33So what is the upshot of this incident?
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Well, after they had interrogated and rounded up a lot
0:13:36 > 0:13:39of the suspected Luddites,
0:13:39 > 0:13:42almost 70 of them that were put on trial at York Castle.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46This is a pamphlet detailing the trial there.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51Interestingly, the jury was all made of local landowners
0:13:51 > 0:13:54and mill owners and magistrates.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- So really, they didn't really stand a chance.- Good job.
0:13:57 > 0:14:03In the end, three Luddites were convicted of the murder
0:14:03 > 0:14:05of William Horsfall, the mill owner,
0:14:05 > 0:14:09were sentenced to be hanged and dissected.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13A few days later, 14 further Luddites were
0:14:13 > 0:14:15sentenced to be hanged
0:14:15 > 0:14:19for their party machine breaking and entering mills.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23How big an incident is this within the scheme of the whole uprising?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26The government wanted to quickly end this
0:14:26 > 0:14:30because they were very scared of a revolution similar to France.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Oh, my word, of course.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33That was a fascinating story, Joanne,
0:14:33 > 0:14:35thanks very much for telling it to me.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37- You are very welcome.- Thank you.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42While Paul has been having a lesson in social history,
0:14:42 > 0:14:47Mark has travelled to the small town of Holmfirth, in West Yorkshire.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51The town and the surrounding countryside is
0:14:51 > 0:14:55the setting of the popular TV series Last Of The Summer Wine.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Hopefully, Mark won't bump into Nora Batty as he heads
0:15:01 > 0:15:02for his last shop of the day.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Hello.- Hi, how are you? Rachel. - Nice to meet you, Rachel.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10- Nice to meet you. - Right, tell me about this.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Well, we have got a bit of everything, really.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Just have a look around and see what you think.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19I like a bit of everything. Darling, you and I are going to get on.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Nice wiggle, Mark, if you like that sort of thing.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Right, what have we got in here? Interesting.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Those are quite sweet, aren't they?
0:15:41 > 0:15:46Little heart-shaped silver boxes for her lady to put her pills or
0:15:46 > 0:15:48something like that in in her bag.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51But there is a little bit of a problem with them.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54When there's...
0:15:54 > 0:15:58When you polish silver like this, it's quite thin.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02And if you are over-vigorous with the silver polish, you can actually
0:16:02 > 0:16:07wear the pattern away, and there is a little bit of wear on these two.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09But they are only priced at £40 for the pair,
0:16:09 > 0:16:11which is good because they're a cute shape, aren't they?
0:16:11 > 0:16:14What would be the lowest on those?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Um...I've got 40 on them, they could be £30.
0:16:17 > 0:16:2130. We couldn't get down to 25?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- Go on, then, 25.- Are you sure? - Yeah, that's it.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- I mean, that's what they're worth about.- Thank you.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Well, after such a packed day of shopping, it's time for the boys
0:16:32 > 0:16:35to put their feet up. Nighty-night.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40The chaps are up and at it,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43rejuvenated after a good night's rest.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46You just don't know what you get, though, do you, Paul?
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- Yeah, that's it. - You just don't know.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52No matter what plan you have, it goes out that window.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54It goes out that window.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59So far, that cautious cat Mark has spent £52 on three
0:16:59 > 0:17:02auction lots - the Staffordshire collie dog,
0:17:02 > 0:17:07the 1970s punch bowl set and a pair of hard-shaped pillboxes,
0:17:07 > 0:17:11leaving 134.46 for the day ahead.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Meanwhile, Paul has gone hell for leather
0:17:17 > 0:17:21and spent £95 in one shop, buying a pair of vases,
0:17:21 > 0:17:24two fishing reels and a whip and riding crop.
0:17:24 > 0:17:30This antiques booty has left him with £114.92 in his kitty.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Paul and Mark have left Holmfirth and are travelling to
0:17:37 > 0:17:40the town of Oldham, in Greater Manchester.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44During the Industrial Revolution, Oldham was the most
0:17:44 > 0:17:47productive cotton-spinning mill town in the world.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- Cheers.- See you later, Paul. Bye.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Mark is very kindly dropping Paul off at his next shop,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58but it is no ordinary shop.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03RJ O'Brien & Son is a huge warehouse selling to both trade
0:18:03 > 0:18:04and the public.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- Whoa! Hello there, hi.- Morning. - Paul Laidlaw.- Ronan O'Brien.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Ronan, you're the man with the name!
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- You're right!- Hi, how are you doing? - I'm OK.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- And this is it?- This is it. - Expansive.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Goodness, what a shop, I hope.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Blimey, I think we might be here for some time.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Ah. Hummel.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Utterly distinctive modelling and decoration.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Now, is it Hummel or a looky-likey?
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Hummel. That's the name, that's what they're looking for.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56The Hummel figurines are based on the drawings
0:18:56 > 0:19:00of German nun Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03The figurines became popular souvenirs with American GIs
0:19:03 > 0:19:07stationed in Germany after World War II.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I hate it, that would give me nightmares.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12But...
0:19:14 > 0:19:15..that's a seller.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17I'm going to put that down there.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23There's a lot of stuff in there. Holy Moses!
0:19:23 > 0:19:24How much time have we got?
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Maybe there is just too much to look at, Paul.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30I'll see you in a moment. Bric-a-brac overload.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35But he's found something that has really grabbed his attention.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43I think I love this.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44I'm looking at a tea set.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46I like the form, OK?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Let me show you the form first of all, OK?
0:19:48 > 0:19:52I'm going to shock you folks. Because you're going to go, "What?"
0:19:54 > 0:19:55What do you see there?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Are they swastikas?
0:19:57 > 0:20:00You are thinking, "Oh, my word, it's German."
0:20:00 > 0:20:04And that is arguably an offensive symbol.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Not so in this context.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09We're not looking at a swastika, no, rule that out.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13We're looking at a hooked cross.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Before the Third Reich claimed the swastika, it was an ancient
0:20:17 > 0:20:20symbol of good luck in many cultures around the world.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24It certainly has got wow on its side.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26I really, really rate that.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29And he's not finished yet.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32I've never seen one of these.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33What's inside?
0:20:34 > 0:20:40What I would call a trio, which is a cup, saucer and tea plate.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41In isolation, what's it worth?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Five to ten pounds would be a good result.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47In its box, I think it is transformed.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Worth £20, £30.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52£40 if you really like it.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Paul now has three things on his shopping list.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57But will owner Ronan deliver?
0:20:57 > 0:21:04Can I have, please, the Hummel lamp, the trio, the tea for not quite six?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- Yes.- Tenner a pop and be cheeky and say...
0:21:07 > 0:21:11- I spotted that wee punter on the way past.- Yep.- You throw him in?
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- Yeah, of course we will. - Gentleman.- No problem.- Thanks.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17The Hummel figurine is a cheeky freebie, that's
0:21:17 > 0:21:23another big Laidlaw swoop as he scoops four items for £30.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Mark, meanwhile has travelled north to Ramsbottom,
0:21:26 > 0:21:29in the Borough of Bury, 16 miles away.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34And he is ready for a rummage in Memory's Antiques.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Oh, no!
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Where am I going to start?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Cabinets, cabinets, cabinets, cabinets...
0:21:48 > 0:21:51This might be some time. Hello, ladies.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- ALL: Hello. - How are we all?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56We are all very well, thank you, and you?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- I am very well.- Good.- I think.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03- I'm Mavis. - Hello, Mavis, Mark.- Hello.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05- We can be M and M. - We could, couldn't we?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Somebody might eat us.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Be rather nice, wouldn't it?
0:22:10 > 0:22:14It's going to be one of those days, you know, I can feel it.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18I know what you mean.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Now, this is rather nice.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27This little box looks like tortoiseshell
0:22:27 > 0:22:31but it is actually plastic, otherwise known as faux.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36It is a little ladies' dressing table set.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37These are silver gilt.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40So, a little powder pot, a little pill jar there,
0:22:40 > 0:22:43little nail file and cuticle thing.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47And I love little boxes, I love little outiles.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49This one is Edwardian, I think.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53It is probably going to be looking at the mark, early 1900s.
0:22:53 > 0:22:561905, 1908, so an antique item.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Paul will be impressed, won't he?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02An antique, from me!
0:23:02 > 0:23:06LID SQUEAKS
0:23:08 > 0:23:11That is saying, "Buy me, buy me, buy me."
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Oh, that's rather interesting.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21This is antique.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24This is a jug, maybe from a set of three.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29I love this sort of octagonal shape. It is copper lustre.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34And then they have applied these little panels on so they
0:23:34 > 0:23:37cut the panels out and then apply them on and fire them.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Now, date. This is a genuine antique, I mean, a real antique.
0:23:41 > 0:23:47Cos the date on this would be something like 1850, 1860.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50So, we're looking at something that is 160 years old.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53But completely out of fashion.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56And today this is priced up at...
0:23:57 > 0:24:00..eight pounds. I think that is an amazing value.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04But it is not amazing enough, not for me to try to get in lower.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Time to talk money with Mavis.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11The jug is priced at a modest eight pounds,
0:24:11 > 0:24:16but I would love to get it if possible, for five pounds.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25- I think that would be fine. - Is that all right?- Yes, that's fine.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Let's count that as sold.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28I'm going to have that one.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32This little box is charming.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36The manicure box belongs to another dealer,
0:24:36 > 0:24:40so Mavis had a word with them about the price.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42She thinks she would let it go at 60.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46- 60.- Is that any use to you?
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Is there any chance we could get nearer 50?
0:24:49 > 0:24:53- If that was at all possible. - I think she will be happy with 50.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- Are you sure? - Yes, I'm sure she would.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Because, honestly, I don't know what it's going to do.
0:24:58 > 0:24:59- She'd be happy with 50. - Are you sure?- Yes.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Then, Mavis, you have done a wonderful job for me.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03- Thank you so much.- You're welcome.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08With his shopping done, Mark heads ten miles south to Rochdale.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Oh, wow.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Mark is visiting Greater Manchester Fire Service Museum.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Housed in a former fire engine workshop,
0:25:18 > 0:25:22the museum was opened in 1983 to the public.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24The collection tells the story of the proud achievements
0:25:24 > 0:25:28and development of the Greater Manchester Fire Brigades.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Mark is meeting with Bob Bonner, retired fireman
0:25:31 > 0:25:33and volunteer at the museum.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38- Hello, I'm Mark.- Hello. Welcome to the Fire Service Museum, I'm Bob.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43The early 1800s hailed the beginning of the municipal fire service.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Prior to this,
0:25:45 > 0:25:50fire services were only available to those who could afford insurance.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54In the 1860s, Alfred Tozer arrived from London
0:25:54 > 0:25:56to organise the fire service in Manchester
0:25:56 > 0:26:00and developed one of the finest in the country.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04As a result, thousands of lives have been saved.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10Tozer began a dynasty of fire chiefs that continues to this day.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12In the early days, firemen had to work
0:26:12 > 0:26:14with some pretty primitive equipment.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16We are going to have a look now
0:26:16 > 0:26:18at what the earliest kind of fire engines looked like,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21which were known as manual fire pumps. The clue is in the name.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24They were manually operated by firefighters
0:26:24 > 0:26:26and willing volunteers who would help them.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29This is very typical of a small manual fire engine.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30What age is this?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33This is a typical mid-19th century one,
0:26:33 > 0:26:36which was built by Tilley of London in 1847.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37- Wow, it's that old?- Yes.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40I mean, looking at it as a layman,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43how on earth can a cart help you fight a fire?
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Well, inside the cart, is a fire pump, an iron fire pump.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49The whole thing is just a wooden cart, as you say,
0:26:49 > 0:26:52and the bottom part of it is known as a cistern, so that holds water.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56It must be filled first before the fire engine will do anything.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58So, water's poured into there from buckets
0:26:58 > 0:27:02and sat inside the bottom of the fire engine is this fire pump...
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- Oh, right.- ..which is then worked by the mechanism.- You grab that end.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11- So the firemen and the helpers would be pumping furiously like this.- Yep.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13And then something will be plugged onto this.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16The hose pipe would be connected to the outwards and as we pump,
0:27:16 > 0:27:19the water goes up the hose, back to the firefighter at the end.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21As you are doing all of this,
0:27:21 > 0:27:24you have then got a team of other helpers
0:27:24 > 0:27:26who are filling that water all the time.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Yes, you continually need to keep it filled
0:27:29 > 0:27:31unless it's set into a river or something.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34But normally, you need a bucket changer to work very quickly
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- to keep it supplied. - Yeah, because... Yeah.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Because even doing this, you can feel it's really working.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- You would empty it very quickly. - Yeah, you would. You can see that.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44It's very efficient.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Lovely, that's my exercise for the day.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Who needs a gym? You just buy a fire pump.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Mark has spotted a pretty intriguing piece of wood.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59What on earth is a mahogany door doing in the middle of this?
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Isn't that a beautiful door? Very, very fond of that.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04There is a very good reason why a door would be that shape.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08Because behind that door is a hole in the floor.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Passing through the hole in the floor is the sliding pole.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15So this is the way the firemen got from upstairs to downstairs
0:28:15 > 0:28:17when there was a fire call.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19So this is... This would've been completely open?
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Completely open, you'd be looking down now onto the roof
0:28:22 > 0:28:23of a fire engine.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25You heard the bell and you just went instinctively.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- You don't jump, you grip it and slide.- Grip it and slide.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32This looks like I'm pole dancing.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34And down you go.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37And down you go. But how tall would this...?
0:28:37 > 0:28:39This particular pole was in this building,
0:28:39 > 0:28:41which was four storeys high.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45- Oh.- Most of them go down from one floor to the next floor.- Wow.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47The thing to remember with the firemen's pole is that
0:28:47 > 0:28:48when you land at the bottom,
0:28:48 > 0:28:51to run away quickly, else you'll have five more firemen on your head.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55Yes. Well, I think that is amazing. I just love the door.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58- Gorgeous door, isn't it?- That...
0:28:58 > 0:29:00I thought it was a library, a secret door.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02That's wonderful, isn't it?
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- Thank you very much for coming. - You have been very entertaining.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09- Lovely. Nice to meet you. - Nice to have met you.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Good luck with the fund-raising.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- Yes, fingers crossed. Thank you. - Bye-bye.- Bye now.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17It is now time for the boys to meet up with one another
0:29:17 > 0:29:19and have a gander at their antiques booty.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25- I don't believe it!- Yeah.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28There's certainly one thing - I would have never put Paul Laidlaw
0:29:28 > 0:29:31and Hummel figures together in my life.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34I am sorry, Paul, I'm going to have to...
0:29:34 > 0:29:38Because I really don't believe this. I really don't believe this.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41Oh, yes, it's marked West Germany.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45- But it's a great find! - It's everything there.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47You simply can't go wrong, honestly.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48Ten.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51- For the two? Oh, that's cheap. - Should be fine, shouldn't it?
0:29:51 > 0:29:55- There's so much the falls in that category.- Yes.
0:29:55 > 0:30:01- Reproduction Royal Dux.- But they are a pair and they're decorative.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04You are being so kind.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08There are large and they are a pair.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Well, listen, I don't...
0:30:12 > 0:30:14I really don't know, this one.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16I mean, I'm going to go, obviously,
0:30:16 > 0:30:19for the - shall I say? - quality item.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23- Whip and the crop. - Nicely silver mounted there.- Yep.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27The most prestigious of retailers' makers.
0:30:27 > 0:30:33- Swaine and Adeney, by appointment to HM.- Oh.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- It depends what you paid for them. - 55.- For the pair?- Yeah.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39That's cheap! Well, I congratulate you, Paul.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41- I mean, you've shocked me here. - I shocked myself,
0:30:41 > 0:30:44believe me. Show me what you've bought.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46I'm not sure you're ready for this.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48I don't feel dirty.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52But I am going to be very careful here, Paul,
0:30:52 > 0:30:54because there is quite a bit.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58- Explain.- Well, that was my first purchase.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Look, I'm not going to pretend it's anything special, Paul,
0:31:00 > 0:31:01but it was seven pounds.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05- In the market we're going to... - I know why you did it.
0:31:05 > 0:31:0715 quid, 20 if you are lucky.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11- Yeah.- The jug, I wanted to get something antique.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13It is a copper lustre jug.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17I love the little spout, it's like a lion's had.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19- OK, yeah, but it's damaged. - There is a crack.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21There is a crack in it.
0:31:22 > 0:31:27- That was single-digit.- Five quid. - OK, fair enough.- This I love.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- Yeah.- I love it.- OK. - It was only 20 quid.
0:31:31 > 0:31:36- For the lot. This was my really big purchase.- OK.
0:31:38 > 0:31:43- Silver guilt.- Hallmarked on the hinges.- Yeah, I see that.
0:31:43 > 0:31:48- And I've actually cataloged it as faux tortoiseshell.- Yeah, yeah.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50- What did you pay for it?- 50.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- Seems all right. - This is too close to call.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57- I'm liking your work. This is going to be good, isn't it?- I think so.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- Roll on the auction.- Yeah. - Well done.- Roll on the drinkies.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04- I'm off, are you coming? - Yeah, come on, let's do that.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06But what do they really think?
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Who is going to win? Please, make it be me.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13The jug, that's landfill, isn't it?
0:32:13 > 0:32:15It is got a whopping big crack in it!
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Please let it be me!

0:32:33 > 0:32:37the venue of today's auction.

0:41:14 > 0:41:15Giddy-up!
0:41:15 > 0:41:18I'll buy you a drink, you'll be better tomorrow morning.
0:41:18 > 0:41:19Yeah, as well.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21I might need a bottle.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Don't lose heart, Mark, you have one last item left.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30It is the pair of pillboxes.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34I hope that I might not need to take a pill after this sells.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36What shall we say for the two of those?
0:41:36 > 0:41:40- 35.- On commission, straight off at £35.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Oh, it was £50 profit.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46- At £35. Can I see 40? £40 bid. 45.- I'm out.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50£40 sitting in the front row, at £40. Can I see five for the two?
0:41:50 > 0:41:51At £40, I'm going to sell then.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55- At £40.- Oh, well. - That went over all right.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58It's not the biggie profit he needed,
0:41:58 > 0:42:00but it is better than nothing.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04- Jolly well done.- Thanks. Let's have a wee drinky on me.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08Come on. Let's have a wee drink on you.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Let's find out who today's winner is.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17Mark started this leg with £186.46
0:42:17 > 0:42:19and after paying auction costs,
0:42:19 > 0:42:22made a small profit of £24.20,
0:42:22 > 0:42:28leaving him with a respectable £210.66 to carry forward.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33But there is no stopping Paul.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36He began with £209.92 and after costs,
0:42:36 > 0:42:40made a bumper £161.18 profit.
0:42:40 > 0:42:46So that leaves him with a delightful £371.10 to spend next time.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49And makes him today's winner. Well done.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55Cheers, buddy. Can I say it? Ye of little faith, but it delivered.
0:42:55 > 0:42:56For you.
0:42:56 > 0:42:57Oh, dear.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Next time on the Antiques Road Trip,
0:43:07 > 0:43:11Mark and Paul head for the county town of Stafford.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Mark goes too far with a bid.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16I don't suppose we could say the two for £15?
0:43:17 > 0:43:19Um...
0:43:19 > 0:43:22Oh, it all depends.
0:43:22 > 0:43:25And Paul is Mr Poker Face.
