0:00:02 > 0:00:04SCARY MUSIC
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Today we are exploring the spooky side of Lancashire
0:00:10 > 0:00:13with tales of ghosts and witches.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16Let's hope there's nothing scary about what our experts
0:00:16 > 0:00:18have to say when it comes to valuing antiques.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Welcome to Flog It!
0:00:23 > 0:00:25EVIL LAUGH
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Can someone let me out?
0:00:49 > 0:00:51We will be back at Lancaster Castle later on in the show
0:00:51 > 0:00:55but right now we are off to the location for today's valuations.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59We are in Blackpool,
0:00:59 > 0:01:02one of the UK's most popular holiday destinations.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05It originally became fashionable in the 1800s,
0:01:05 > 0:01:07when the opening of the railway meant that workers
0:01:07 > 0:01:09from the cotton mills of Lancashire
0:01:09 > 0:01:12could escape the grime of the cities for a bit of sea air.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16The town still attracts over ten million visitors each year,
0:01:16 > 0:01:20who come to be thrilled and scared by the attractions,
0:01:20 > 0:01:22including the country's tallest rollercoaster ride
0:01:22 > 0:01:26and today's venue, the Tower Circus.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30But it's not about the tourists today.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32We're here to do some business and of course,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35it's about the good people of Blackpool and the surrounding areas.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38They have turned up en masse, laden with unwanted antiques
0:01:38 > 0:01:42and collectables, all hoping to make a small fortune in auction.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Our experts are already hard at work in the queue.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47There's Anita Manning over there. There's James Lewis.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49All hoping to find the best items.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Of course, this lot have one question on their lips
0:01:52 > 0:01:54and they are dying to say it, aren't you?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Come on! - ALL: What's it worth?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59We've got the crowd, they've got their items,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02all we need now are our experts.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05And as the crowd settle in, James has made a head start
0:02:05 > 0:02:08with a spooky-looking mask that's a long way from home.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Anybody who knows me knows I am an Africa nut.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I've been to Tanzania
0:02:16 > 0:02:21and I have spent time with the tribe who made this mask,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23called the Makonde.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28They are northern Tanzania and Mozambique.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33They are the most amazing people with, in my opinion,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- the most ferocious masks on the planet.- Yeah.
0:02:36 > 0:02:41So, what is a fantastic mask like that doing here today?
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- It was a find off the internet. - Right, OK.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51And it was so unusual and the markings on it, I found it bizarre.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55And being a full helmet rather than just a mask...
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Did you buy it because you had an interest in African art
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- or because you thought it strange? - We had a staff and that, didn't we?
0:03:02 > 0:03:07And we got a couple of the normal wooden masks that everybody gets.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12- Yeah.- But it's just so unusual and to have the hair
0:03:12 > 0:03:14on the top and everything, it's a bit freaky.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- And you know it's real hair? - BOTH: Yes.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23There are different designs that you find on different masks
0:03:23 > 0:03:25for different purposes.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29These type of helmet masks were used in marriage ceremonies,
0:03:29 > 0:03:33in death ceremonies, funerals,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36but also for fertility,
0:03:36 > 0:03:41for wishing a new season of a fertile harvest.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Some of the masks are denoting female, some male.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51The rarer ones are the female ones. This is a male.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55The teeth, they are actually pierced.
0:03:55 > 0:04:01The mask was designed to be worn like that and some masks,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04you would look through the mouth, use it as eye slots.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09I think this one would have been worn more like that.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12So it is one of the only masks that was worn on the top of the head
0:04:12 > 0:04:14rather than like that.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19Inside you see white wood under the dark staining.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25- That dark staining is made to look older than it is.- Right.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27And this is very light.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29They often were light but...
0:04:30 > 0:04:32..made for the tourist market.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39The masks that were made to be used in their own ceremonies,
0:04:39 > 0:04:4319th century and earlier, are massively in demand,
0:04:43 > 0:04:47worth sometimes tens of thousands of pounds.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51The ones that are made for the tourist market
0:04:51 > 0:04:55are a totally different thing. But there we are.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59The staff, it's not so exciting.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01It's a bit of hardwood.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06It's probably Ghanaian. North-west African.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Probably a tribal chief's staff, or meant to be.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14But again, it's made for the tourist market rather than for their own.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20- So, shall I ask what you paid?- Well, we would rather keep that one quiet.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Oh, really? - Especially if my wife's watching.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25- Definitely.- Do you think you might have paid a bit too much?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27A little bit too much, yes!
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Well, I reckon at auction -
0:05:29 > 0:05:33you might have bought a bargain, you don't know -
0:05:33 > 0:05:35£60 to £100, as an estimate.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- You paid too much, didn't you? - Yes!- Your face!
0:05:39 > 0:05:41I'm sorry. You never know.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45It might absolutely fly and do really well.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48But if it does, then you will have done really, really well.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51But it's a great thing to find. It's very unusual.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54It's the first time I have ever seen one on the Flog It! tables
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- and thank you for bringing it in. - You're welcome.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- Thank you for telling us about it. - A bit of Africa.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- Made my day. - Thank you very much.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05From a Flog It! first to a Flog It! classic. Over to Anita.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Tina, welcome to Flog It!
0:06:07 > 0:06:10It's lovely to have you along and thank you
0:06:10 > 0:06:15- for bringing in our old favourite, Clarice Cliff.- Yes.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18We see lots of Clarice on the programme.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23Some people love it, some people hate it. I love it. What about you?
0:06:23 > 0:06:29I absolutely love Clarice Cliff. I have done now for 30-odd years.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- How did you come by this lot? - It was from a house clearance.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38My mum helped our old neighbour clear her sister's house
0:06:38 > 0:06:40and this was part of some pottery
0:06:40 > 0:06:44that she put in the back of the cupboard.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47When I discovered this was Clarice Cliff I was about 18,
0:06:47 > 0:06:49and this started my collection.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- So, this started a love affair with Clarice Cliff's work?- Yes.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Yes, it did.- So, why have you brought this in today?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59I mean, I've got some of these pieces out of newspaper
0:06:59 > 0:07:04- that has got the 2001 date on. - You haven't had it out since then?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- No. No.- So it's time to pass it on.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10I just love it and I think that somebody else will as well.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13I mean, I love Clarice Cliff.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18She was a poor girl who became enormously successful
0:07:18 > 0:07:21in her designs in the pottery trade.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Wonderful, wonderful designs which were ground-breaking.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29This little coffee set is the Sundew pattern
0:07:29 > 0:07:33and it was done for the 1930s.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37We've got six cups, six saucers, a coffee pot here, sugar,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40cream and a little jam dish.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45But I did notice, Tina, that we have some damage on the coffee pot.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47That's right.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51So that's the only thing that worries me a little bit, the crack.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54And it's quite a substantial crack
0:07:54 > 0:07:56which goes the full length of the pot.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59But we still have our six cups and saucers,
0:07:59 > 0:08:02we still have our sugar and cream and we still have our jam pot.
0:08:04 > 0:08:10Estimate on this, I would say maybe £150 to £200.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14It would be more if we had, you know...
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- if everything was in good condition. - I know. I realise.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Would you be happy to pass it on at that price?- Yes.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Shall we go for it? - Absolutely.- OK.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- £150 to £250. Keep it wide.- Yeah.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31With a reserve of maybe round about 130 on it.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- Yes. I agree with that. - We'll do that.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Thank you again for bringing it along.- You're welcome.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Just a short walk down the corridor from the Circus
0:08:41 > 0:08:44is the world-famous Tower Ballroom.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Whilst it is better known as the occasional home
0:08:46 > 0:08:49of the stars of Strictly Come Dancing,
0:08:49 > 0:08:52there are one or two more permanent residents here
0:08:52 > 0:08:54of a slightly spooky nature,
0:08:54 > 0:08:59and I'm not talking about Len Goodman and Bruno!
0:08:59 > 0:09:03A number of ghosts are said to inhabit the ballroom
0:09:03 > 0:09:05and other parts of the Tower complex.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08First is the man who had the idea of the building in the first place,
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Sir John Bickerstaffe.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13He died in 1930 and people believe he loved the building
0:09:13 > 0:09:16so much that he refused to leave it, even after his death.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Most sightings here in the ballroom report of an elderly gentleman
0:09:23 > 0:09:27and a young girl sitting here in the balcony dressed in Victorian attire,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29watching a performance going on on the stage.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33And they've been seen on a number of occasions
0:09:33 > 0:09:35over the last two centuries.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Maybe they were watching some spooky entertainment
0:09:39 > 0:09:41taking place on this very stage.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Many people have heard the laughter of the most famous clown,
0:09:45 > 0:09:50Charlie Cairoli, who performed here in the Circus, laughing away.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Others have claimed to have seen a lady dressed in white
0:09:53 > 0:09:56playing that piano on this very stage.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Well, it seems the place is quite popular with the living
0:09:59 > 0:10:01as well as the dead, don't you think?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03From doing a bit of ghost-hunting I think we should catch up
0:10:03 > 0:10:06with our experts and do a bit more antique-hunting.
0:10:09 > 0:10:16Stella, I have to say, these are two of the most unusual
0:10:16 > 0:10:19things that I have ever seen on the Flog It! tables.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25I think I know what they are. I'm sort of 99% there.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- What do you know about them? - Not a great deal.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30They are a family heirloom
0:10:30 > 0:10:38and I've been asking people do they know what they are and they say no.
0:10:38 > 0:10:44I haven't seen anything quite like them for probably 25 years.
0:10:45 > 0:10:52My last family holiday with parents was to go to the Somme battlefield.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56My dad is a great sort of military historian.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59And we would walk the battlefields and try and work out
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- where the trench lines were and all that sort of thing.- Right.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07As a sort of an eagle-eyed collector, I was ferreting around,
0:11:07 > 0:11:12trying to find interesting things to pick up, and one of the things
0:11:12 > 0:11:14I picked up was one of these, or something very similar.
0:11:14 > 0:11:22I think what we have here are a pair of World War I
0:11:22 > 0:11:28- shell case fuses.- Fuses? Honest? - From the pointed end of the shell.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32- Oh.- There we have a hole at the end
0:11:32 > 0:11:37and then a spiral to contain something.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- I think it's a wire, a fuse wire. - A wire? Oh!
0:11:39 > 0:11:42There is a gap at the bottom
0:11:42 > 0:11:46and then there is a little hole that comes out either at zero -
0:11:46 > 0:11:50which I presume is zero seconds -
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- or 49, for 49 seconds.- Right!
0:11:53 > 0:12:00And that is a bit of a guess, but I think that's what they are.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Now, the fact that they are First World War
0:12:03 > 0:12:08would indicate that they were probably put together in this form
0:12:08 > 0:12:13by probably somebody in the trenches.
0:12:13 > 0:12:20If you think in terms of an infantryman 100 years ago
0:12:20 > 0:12:22on the front-line battlefields,
0:12:22 > 0:12:27we often see the scenes of them going up over the edge
0:12:27 > 0:12:30and fighting, but the truth was,
0:12:30 > 0:12:3695% of their time was literally sitting in the trenches,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39waiting - cold, damp, bored,
0:12:39 > 0:12:44and up to their knees in mud with very little to do.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49So they made things known as trench art, and they made snuffboxes
0:12:49 > 0:12:52out of bits of brass shell case,
0:12:52 > 0:12:56they made fire implements for them for stoking the fire and tongs
0:12:56 > 0:12:58and also things like desk weights.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02And it wouldn't surprise me if these were made
0:13:02 > 0:13:08- by an infantryman in the trenches 100 years ago.- Could be right. Yeah.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12So, now the final thing to try and work out is a valuation.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15It's a little bit like that.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- I've not sold them before. - No.- But...
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- ..I think £30 or £40. - OK. That's fine.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- Would that be all right for you? - Yes.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27I'm sure it is not going to do anything explosive
0:13:27 > 0:13:30in the saleroom, but you never know.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Somebody might love them.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Somebody might love. Let them enjoy them.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Things have got off to a flying start at the Tower Circus.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I'm just watching Anita Manning, one of our experts, hard at work there.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48We are ready for our first trip to the auction room, but before that,
0:13:48 > 0:13:51here's a quick recap of all the items going under the hammer.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56Phil and Sean are hoping their mask doesn't scare off the bidders.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02There's that Clarice Cliff tea set, brought along by Tina.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07And Stella is hoping her artillery fuses go with a bang.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12We are leaving Blackpool and heading a few miles down the coast
0:14:12 > 0:14:14to Lytham St Annes,
0:14:14 > 0:14:17where it's time to put our first lots under the hammer.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19And the man in charge of today's proceedings
0:14:19 > 0:14:21is auctioneer Jonathan Cook.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24The auction house is packed and ready to go.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Let's get moving with our first lot.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Fingers crossed, Stella.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- Is this your first auction?- Yes. - Is it really?- I've never been.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- Gosh. Are you nervous?- Yes, I am. - Got your hands behind your back.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Whatever you do, don't do that! You might buy something!
0:14:37 > 0:14:39These two fuses from the First World War,
0:14:39 > 0:14:41that's what's going under the hammer right now.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Not a great deal of money, James, is there?- No.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48They are unusual things, things you don't see a lot of at auction.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50There are a lot of militaria collections out there
0:14:50 > 0:14:52and I'm sure these will find a new home.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Good luck, both of you. Let's put it to the test.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Lot 80. World War I trench art.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00A pair of brass and copper shell tops.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Converted to paperweights.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05A bid's there at £20 on the internet, at 20.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07It's all down to the bidders now.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10£20. On the net at 20. Are we all sure at 20?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Any further interest?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15£20. 22. 24.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18At £24. Any further interest on 24?
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- On the internet at 24. - There's no hands in the room.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28At £24. Selling away at 24. All finished? At £24.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- It sold. You were right. - Absolutely.- Spot on, James.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37They are not easy things to sell, are they? Who wants them?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- Paperweights.- Yeah.- Exactly.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43We love seeing trench art on Flog It!
0:15:43 > 0:15:45but often the priceless stories behind them
0:15:45 > 0:15:48aren't reflected in their value at auction.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52We've come downstairs for our next lot, the wooden helmet
0:15:52 > 0:15:54and staff brought along by Philip and Sean.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Philip has some mobility problems
0:15:56 > 0:15:59and there are a lot of steps to the auction room,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02which is on the first floor above us, so we've set up a live link

0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Apprehensive.- We are going to put that valuation to the test.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- That's what auctions are all about. - Yeah. It's a great lot.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18We haven't got much tribal art in this sale
0:16:18 > 0:16:20but it's live on the internet.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22What we're watching here
0:16:22 > 0:16:26is what thousands of people across the world are watching as well...

0:17:16 > 0:17:18It seems to have settled at 90.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- I think it's settled now. It's found its level at £90.- £90.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- No further interest.- He's sold.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- £90. Well done.- Thank you.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Another lot making its estimate.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Time to see if the Clarice Cliff tea set can improve on that.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39It wouldn't be Flog It! without it, would it?
0:17:39 > 0:17:40- Ever used it?- No.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44It's just been locked in the back of a cupboard before I had it
0:17:44 > 0:17:47and I have been storing it in boxes.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50A lovely thing like that shouldn't be stuck in a box
0:17:50 > 0:17:53or in a wardrobe or at the back of a cupboard.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- It should be out, making people happy.- Very much so.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Let's put it to the test. It's going under the hammer. This is it.
0:18:00 > 0:18:05Lot 380. Clarice Cliff. Hand-painted. Six-piece coffee set.

0:18:35 > 0:18:39£260. £260 in the room.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Any advance on £260? All sure at 260.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- £260!- No further interest.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- Yes!- Wasn't that wonderful?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Clarice doesn't let us down.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55It's a great name, isn't it? It's a great name in design, basically.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- Yes.- Happy? You've got to be over the moon.- I'm just shocked.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01There you go.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03If you've got anything like that as well, we want to sell it.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Bring it along to one of our valuation days
0:19:05 > 0:19:09and you could be standing in the next room next to us next time.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Blackpool is a place best known for fun and laughter,
0:19:17 > 0:19:21but the County of Lancashire itself has had a scary and sinister past,
0:19:21 > 0:19:25with tales of witchcraft and magic throughout its history.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30And I've been off to investigate one of the most famous stories of all.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39From our early childhood, most of us have heard tales of witches,
0:19:39 > 0:19:43and they seem to be warted women concocting deadly potions,
0:19:43 > 0:19:46stirring a cauldron and casting wicked spells on people
0:19:46 > 0:19:50and they seem to have black cats and ride around on broomsticks.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Well, such stories have thrilled and frightened us for centuries
0:19:53 > 0:19:56so today I've come to Lancaster Castle to unearth one of the
0:19:56 > 0:20:01greatest witchcraft tales of our history, that of the Pendle witches.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06It all began in March 1612,
0:20:06 > 0:20:09when an argument in a small town spiralled out of control
0:20:09 > 0:20:13and soon led to 20 people being arrested and accused of witchcraft.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Colin Penny is the manager of Lancaster Castle
0:20:16 > 0:20:18and an expert on the Pendle witch trials.
0:20:18 > 0:20:2320 people were arrested. On what grounds?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Well, the whole incident of the Lancashire witches begins
0:20:26 > 0:20:30with an argument between two people.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Alison Device, who is very poor, she is a beggar,
0:20:33 > 0:20:37and John Law, a pedlar who basically is travelling around, selling things.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40He passes by, she asks him for some pins.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43He says, "Have you got any money?" She says no.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46"Well, you can't have any pins, then."
0:20:46 > 0:20:48He walks off, but he almost immediately becomes very ill.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51He has what we think was a stroke,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54judging from his symptoms as described at the time.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58He believes himself to have been bewitched. So did his son.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03Alison was arrested. That then began a snowball effect.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Her friends, her family are also interviewed
0:21:06 > 0:21:09and the charges against them basically spiral out of control.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11There was a genuine belief in the power of magic,
0:21:11 > 0:21:13both for good and for evil.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18Not least because James I was obsessed by witches
0:21:18 > 0:21:20and by witchcraft.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23He wrote the Daemonologie in the late 16th century,
0:21:23 > 0:21:26which is essentially, if you like,
0:21:26 > 0:21:30a handbook in how to identify and go through the process
0:21:30 > 0:21:35of what you should look for in a potential witch suspect, if you like.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42And it's no coincidence that there is a huge rise
0:21:42 > 0:21:47in the number of witch accusations under James I.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50The 20 accused were held in Lancaster Castle for five months
0:21:50 > 0:21:53between April and August 1612.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56And the conditions at the prison were far from comfortable.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00One of the accused, an elderly lady named Old Demdike,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02died in the jail before the case could begin.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06However, in August that year, the remaining 19 stood trial.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12The proceedings were unusual
0:22:12 > 0:22:15because they were documented by the court clerk, Thomas Potts,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18in his account, The Wonderful Discovery Of Witches,
0:22:18 > 0:22:21which became a historical document of the trial.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26What was unusual was evidence was given from a nine-year-old girl.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31Now, that is totally out of the question normally, but here,
0:22:31 > 0:22:34the rules were bent to help the prosecution.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39The jury, no doubt basing their decision on their own fears
0:22:39 > 0:22:42and prejudice of witchcraft, found ten of the accused,
0:22:42 > 0:22:47including the original girl, guilty and they were sentenced to death.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50And it was here on Gallows Hill, overlooking the town,
0:22:50 > 0:22:52that the ten guilty people were hung
0:22:52 > 0:22:55and later their bodies were buried at a crossroads
0:22:55 > 0:22:57so if their spirits returned,
0:22:57 > 0:23:01they couldn't find their way back to haunt those that they cursed.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09What about the castle itself?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Well, it's still playing its part in law and order.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15The castle was used as a fully functioning prison
0:23:15 > 0:23:18right up until March 2011.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22This room today is still being used as a fully working courtroom.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26Luckily enough, there are no witches to be put on trial any more.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Welcome back to Blackpool and our valuation day
0:23:40 > 0:23:44here at the Tower Circus, where hundreds of people have turned up
0:23:44 > 0:23:47today with their unwanted antiques and collectables,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49all hoping to make a small fortune at auction.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Now, which item will get a standing ovation?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55We are about to find out. Let's catch up with our experts.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02Bobby, welcome to Flog It! It's lovely to have you along.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04I had a wee blather with you in the queue
0:24:04 > 0:24:08and I know you're not from around these parts. Where are you from?
0:24:08 > 0:24:12- I am from Texas. - Texas! That's fabulous!
0:24:12 > 0:24:17- What are you doing here? - I came, my husband lured me over.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19After he moved back here, I came back with him.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- So now you are a Lancashire lass. - Yes.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26Now, you have brought along a wee group of things.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- Can you tell me where you got these?- Yes.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32These watches were my husband's grandfather's.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36This necklace, my mother-in-law gave me
0:24:36 > 0:24:40and this necklace was my brother-in-law's.
0:24:40 > 0:24:46- He worked for a lady in a large house and so she gave it to him.- As a gift.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- Yes.- Maybe she thought it suited him. - THEY LAUGH
0:24:49 > 0:24:53So these are all stuff that's maybe come from your husband's family.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- Yes.- Right.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59And it really is the type of thing which anybody
0:24:59 > 0:25:03might have in a drawer, passed down in the family.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07Nothing of any great value, but a nice wee group.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11And if we look at them closely, this is a Victorian necklet.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14It is silver.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17It's not hallmarked but I think it is silver.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- You are probably talking about 1880 to 1890.- Oh.
0:25:22 > 0:25:27Going on to this one, this necklet is a Norwegian necklet.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31It is sterling silver and it's marked sterling,
0:25:31 > 0:25:36but it has this wonderful enamel finish on the leaf design
0:25:36 > 0:25:41and the Norwegians were masters of enamel work.
0:25:41 > 0:25:48We have three pocket watches here that are all in various states of...
0:25:49 > 0:25:51..disrepair.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54We have hands missing on this one, we have the second hand missing
0:25:54 > 0:25:57on this one and we have this Waltham here,
0:25:57 > 0:26:02which is an American watch but it's not silver.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05So, it is a wee sort of mixed lot.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08If you put them all together,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10we could have some interest in the saleroom.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15If they were coming into auction I would put an estimate,
0:26:15 > 0:26:20grouped together, between £40 and £60.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Would you and your husband be happy to put them
0:26:23 > 0:26:27- to auction at that price?- Yes. That's fine.- Shall we do that?- Yes.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30They may get more than that, but for a wee mixed lot,
0:26:30 > 0:26:34I think we keep the estimates conservative on them.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39- We'll put a reserve price on them. Would you want to do that?- Yes.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43We will put £40, but we will put "with discretion"
0:26:43 > 0:26:47- so the auctioneer has a little discretion if he needs it.- OK.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- But I think they will sell away. - OK. Sounds good.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Back to James Lewis now, who has discovered something
0:26:54 > 0:26:57that looks a bit and usual and even a little bit spooky.
0:26:59 > 0:27:05Helen, Doulton are very well known for making little models
0:27:05 > 0:27:11of girls in frilly dresses, little clowns, ladies with parasols.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Really, as far as I'm concerned they should be smashed onto the floor,
0:27:15 > 0:27:19rolled over with a digger and used as road fill. I hate them.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24I hate them, I hate them, I hate them. But that is fantastic!
0:27:24 > 0:27:26He's a great little figure!
0:27:26 > 0:27:31He's called Spook and he's really sort of naughty,
0:27:31 > 0:27:34mysterious, hiding under a cloak.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Modelled after my mother-in-law, I think, originally.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43- You'll be in trouble!- I think he's fantastic. What do you think?
0:27:43 > 0:27:45I'm not really keen on him myself.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48My husband bought him but I just don't like his evil-looking face.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51As if he's up to no good.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- I like them ladies what you would like to smash!- You don't like those!
0:27:54 > 0:27:58You can't like those! No! No! I prefer him.
0:27:58 > 0:28:05He is in a titanium glaze, which is this wonderful iridescent blue.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09They came in different models. This titanium glaze was a trial glaze.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12The original and most well-known of the Spook,
0:28:12 > 0:28:14he's known as the Spook,
0:28:14 > 0:28:18is actually hand-coloured and decorated fairly naturally.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23If we turn him over, there we have the Doulton mark.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25But it is very faint.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27I can understand why people probably wouldn't have recognised it
0:28:27 > 0:28:29as being a Doulton.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31But I think also, being a trial glaze,
0:28:31 > 0:28:35it's something that's slightly more difficult to identify.
0:28:35 > 0:28:40The date is 1916, 1917. Something around there.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Modelled by Tittensor, one of Doulton's leading modellers.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47So, your husband liked him, he bought him,
0:28:47 > 0:28:49brought him home, fell in love with him
0:28:49 > 0:28:51and now you've brought it here to Flog It!.
0:28:51 > 0:28:56- Yes, that's right.- That's not really fair. Where did he find him?
0:28:56 > 0:29:02- He found him in a car-boot sale. - Really?- Really. Yeah.- Recently?
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- About a month ago. - OK. And how much did you pay?
0:29:05 > 0:29:08- Two pounds.- Two pounds.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11- Would he take three?- No.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13- Four?- No.- 10?
0:29:15 > 0:29:18No.
0:29:18 > 0:29:2050?
0:29:21 > 0:29:25- Yeah. Possibly 50.- Would he say 50? I'll buy it for 50.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29I'm not allowed to do it. I'm not allowed to and I wouldn't.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31It's not worth 50. It's worth 200 to 300.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34- Oh! Crikey!- Well done!
0:29:34 > 0:29:39Your two pounds has turned into 200 or 300. That is a car-boot dream.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43- Well done. It's a great little object.- I like him now!
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Do you? You are going to take him home?
0:29:45 > 0:29:48No, he can go.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49No, he's really brought you a bit of luck.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52He's a great little figure.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55You can see how the Spook does later on at the auction.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58It's coming towards the end of the valuation day now
0:29:58 > 0:30:01but Anita has found one last item that's caught her eye.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Molly, this is a charming little snuffbox.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Can you tell me where you got it?
0:30:07 > 0:30:09It was left to my husband and myself
0:30:09 > 0:30:14with quite a few other things in 1989 from a dear friend.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- So you've had it for a wee while. - I have, yes.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20- Have you had it on display? - Not really.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23It's been in the china cabinet, inside a teapot.
0:30:23 > 0:30:30- Inside a teapot? Not doing much good there.- Not really.- I like this one.
0:30:30 > 0:30:35If we open the lid we can see your silver marks here.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39It was made in Birmingham in the 1860s, so it's a good age.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43And this is important - when you look at an item like this,
0:30:43 > 0:30:49the hinges must be pristine to keep the snuff fresh.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54It's in very good condition, but one of the things
0:30:54 > 0:31:00I like most about this is the little dedication on the cartouche.
0:31:01 > 0:31:06Usually in items of silver we like to see the cartouche empty
0:31:06 > 0:31:12because it means if it is given as a gift then it can be engraved
0:31:12 > 0:31:19afterwards, but this one has a marvellous little dedication.
0:31:19 > 0:31:24"To Old Copey, from Scissors."
0:31:24 > 0:31:26- Do you know anything about that? - I'm sorry.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30- We know nothing at all. - You know nothing about it.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33If you think about it,
0:31:33 > 0:31:38I can see these names as being nicknames
0:31:38 > 0:31:40of two old friends.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Two old pals.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46And to have something like that really does
0:31:46 > 0:31:48spark off your imagination.
0:31:48 > 0:31:53It makes us wonder who Old Copey was and who Scissors was.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55What about value, then?
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Snuffboxes were making a little more,
0:31:58 > 0:32:00say, ten years ago, five years ago.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04- In today's market they are a little less.- Yeah.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10I would put a value on that of between £60 and £80.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14- Yes.- Would you be happy to sell it at that?
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Yes, that would be quite all right.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19It would go to a collector and I think that is
0:32:19 > 0:32:23a far better place for it to go than in an old teapot.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25I think so too.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29- Shall we put a reserve on it? - We will leave that to you.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32We will put £60 with a little bit of discretion
0:32:32 > 0:32:34but I'm sure it will go higher.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37The buyers will like the condition
0:32:37 > 0:32:41- and they will like the inscription on this cartouche.- Lovely.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49There you are.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52What a wonderful time we have had at the Tower Circus in Blackpool.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Everyone has thoroughly enjoyed themselves,
0:32:54 > 0:32:56I know I have, and our experts. And I can't wait to come back.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58But right now we've got some unfinished business
0:32:58 > 0:33:01in the auction room down in Lytham St Annes.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03While we make our way down the coastline,
0:33:03 > 0:33:05here's a quick recap of all the items going under the hammer.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11Time is up for Bobby's collection of pocket watches and two necklaces.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15There is Helen's unusual ceramic Spook
0:33:15 > 0:33:17that was bought at a car-boot sale.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21And finally, Molly hopes her snuffbox
0:33:21 > 0:33:23isn't something to be sniffed at.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27I caught up with today's auctioneer Jonathan Cook at the preview day
0:33:27 > 0:33:30to take a closer look at one of our items.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Jonathan, I'm absolutely in love with this lot.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Royal Doulton Spook figure.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Not the kind of thing you associate Doulton with
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- when you look at their figures. - Not at all.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44I think he's quite rare, a lovely blue lustre to him.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Belongs to Helen.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Her husband bought it in a car-boot sale. Guess how much for?
0:33:50 > 0:33:53I don't think... A fiver?
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Less than that. It's horrible. It's horrible.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59- It's two pounds.- Two pounds! - I mean, that's bonkers, isn't it?
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Somebody sold that for two pounds.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04They are going to be sick if they are watching.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07James our expert has put £200 to £300 on this.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Could this be a little sleeper? Could this go for a lot more?
0:34:11 > 0:34:15I think this is a prototype. I've not seen this colour before.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18I've seen various other colours
0:34:18 > 0:34:20and some of them can fetch £2,000 to £3,000.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- I'm not saying this one will. - £2,000 to £3,000!
0:34:23 > 0:34:27- Yes.- This is exactly what we like. This is what auctions are all about.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29I can't wait.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Good luck on the rostrum with the rest of the lots
0:34:31 > 0:34:34but we are looking forward to this one.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41A bit of a mixed lot going under the hammer right now.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Two necklaces and three pocket watches belonging to Bobby,
0:34:44 > 0:34:46all the way from Texas, who married a man from Lytham
0:34:46 > 0:34:48a couple of years ago.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52- Happy here? Like it?- Yes! I love it! - Great stretch of coastline.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55We originally had £40 to £60 put in by Anita.
0:34:55 > 0:35:00You've now upped the reserve to 80, new valuation of £100 to £120.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- I think you're spot on with the money, I really do.- Yeah.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04I think it should. We have got...
0:35:04 > 0:35:07We've got watches and those two
0:35:07 > 0:35:09lovely enamelled pieces of jewellery.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12And that is very popular in today's market
0:35:12 > 0:35:16so we have put it up a wee bit but I think we're in with a great shout.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20Let's find out what the bidders think. This is our lot. Here we go.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Bids of £70. Any advance on 70?

0:35:46 > 0:35:48At £130.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54- It's gone. The hammer's gone down. That was a good result.- Well done.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56- I'm pleased with that. - You're pleased with that.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58I know you are. And your husband will be as well.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Thanks very much for bringing that in.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07Next up we've got a Victorian silver snuffbox.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Is it a pinch at £60 to £80? We are about to find out.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14Let's find out what it's worth. It's going under the hammer now.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Victorian silver snuffbox marked for 1861.

0:36:38 > 0:36:42Sell away, then, at 95. No further interest.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44It's sold.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46The hammer has gone down. Short and sweet.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48- Lovely.- Above the upper estimate. - Very nice.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Good little things to collect, snuffboxes. They really are.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55We were lucky enough to have it left to us.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Snuffboxes are a regular on Flog It!,
0:36:57 > 0:37:00but now for something we've never seen before.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Are you all sitting comfortably in your chairs?
0:37:02 > 0:37:05This could get exciting. Could get scary. It's quite spooky.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08It's the Doulton Spook belonging to Helen. Hello there.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11Thank you so much for bringing this along to our valuation day.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15I had a chat to the auctioneer yesterday and he said
0:37:15 > 0:37:18he's seen them come up for sale before in different colour glazes.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Exactly. Different colour.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23I'm not going to tell you how much he said
0:37:23 > 0:37:25just in case it ruins the surprise
0:37:25 > 0:37:29- but, I mean, what are you thinking of getting? 200?- Hopefully.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32Maybe 300. If we're really lucky today, we could get 300.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Good luck. That's all I can say. Fingers crossed.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38I think this will go online. It'll go on the internet.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40But let's watch this and hopefully,

0:39:58 > 0:40:01Bought in a car boot for just two pounds.

0:40:04 > 0:40:06- with 200 to 300.- I would. - How about that?
0:40:06 > 0:40:10We didn't know what it was worth, now we do and now you do.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Helen, enjoy that money, won't you?
0:40:12 > 0:40:14What's going through your mind? What will you do with that?
