0:00:02 > 0:00:06Today we're looking at "Flog It!" finds in the east and the west of the United Kingdom,
0:00:06 > 0:00:10so get ready for a cold war, because they both have a proud tradition of trading.
0:00:10 > 0:00:15In Norfolk, they reckon they know it all when it comes to spotting a bargain.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19You bought this for a fiver? That's such a good spot!
0:00:19 > 0:00:22But in Somerset, the locals are just as confident
0:00:22 > 0:00:25they've got the best eye for an antique.
0:00:25 > 0:00:30The quality's there, so your £18 has been a good investment.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Which of our two towns will do the best at auction?
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Well, keep watching "Flog It!" to find out.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11First we'll be travelling to Yeovil in Somerset,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14and all these people are waiting to hear whether their antiques
0:01:14 > 0:01:17will make them a profit when they sell them at auction.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20And they reckon they've got the pedigree.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Yeovil has got a long history of buying and selling.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26From Saxon times, it became famous for its weekly market,
0:01:26 > 0:01:30and from the 15th century onwards there's been two annual fairs here,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33attracting buyers from all over Somerset and Dorset.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- People like you! - THEY LAUGH
0:01:37 > 0:01:41And some of them are pretty confident they've found a winner.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44I found it in a charity shop in Shaftesbury
0:01:44 > 0:01:47about two, three years ago. It was £18,
0:01:47 > 0:01:51and the wife loves camels, like, so we had to have it.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53But they're not the only ones.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Later we'll be travelling to King's Lynn in Norfolk,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00where they also pride themselves on their trading history,
0:02:00 > 0:02:01dating back to medieval times,
0:02:01 > 0:02:06and it seems our owners have also got a gift for spotting something with potential.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09All I can tell you is, I got it from a car-boot,
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- um, probably about four years ago. - Right.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17I do know the name Moorcroft, so I bought it for a fiver.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- £5? Really?- It was £7.50.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- And you beat them down?- To five!
0:02:23 > 0:02:25But first let's get back to Yeovil,
0:02:25 > 0:02:29where James has already made a shocking discovery!
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Deirdre, I saw this in the queue a couple of hours ago now.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- That's right. - And it looks, from the outside,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39like any other mahogany box. But there's a telltale sign.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43It's that little ivory-turned handle there gives it away.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- An electric-shock machine. - Oh!- Absolutely fantastic.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51It says here, "For nervous diseases". An "electric machine".
0:02:51 > 0:02:55It says, "Connect the two metallic cords." Let's have a look here.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57We've got two metal tubes,
0:02:57 > 0:03:02and they have little pegs at the end there.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05And the little pegs go into the outside, there. OK.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- That's right, I thought. - And the other one in the other side.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13And in the 19th century, and in fact the early 20th century,
0:03:13 > 0:03:15people believed that giving somebody electric shocks
0:03:15 > 0:03:18would treat so many different things -
0:03:18 > 0:03:21depression, anxiety attacks...
0:03:21 > 0:03:25But I can't imagine them using it today to such a degree.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29But it's a good-quality thing. It's an interesting object,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32as well as a scientific instrument. Have you had it on display at home?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35No. I'm afraid it's been in the attic.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- And how did you come to have it? - My mother-in-law gave it to us
0:03:38 > 0:03:41when our children were small. She thought it'd be fun for them
0:03:41 > 0:03:44to try it out, which they did. But they're grown up.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49- They're not interested in it now. - OK. So it wasn't lethal.- No, no.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51My mother-in-law said when she was a little girl,
0:03:51 > 0:03:54she and her friends used to stand in a circle, hold hands...
0:03:54 > 0:03:58- Yeah?- ..and pass the shock round the circle.- Oh, blimey! OK.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- And it's American, is it?- Yes,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03according to the little plate inside.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05It says here "CH Woodard & Co,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08surgical instruments, Portland, Oregon."
0:04:08 > 0:04:10So, family from America?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Yes. My mother-in-law had an aunt or a great-aunt
0:04:13 > 0:04:16who actually lived in America, and she brought it back.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- OK.- This is a very long time ago. - Turn of the century?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- Yes, I would say so.- That's when it would have been made, 1880 to 1900.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- That would be about right. - The box is in mahogany.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28It's brass-bound, with lacquered brass mounts,
0:04:28 > 0:04:32and it's in really good order. It's lovely to have the original name at the top.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34If we look at the way this actually works,
0:04:34 > 0:04:38at the back here, we've got a rather large horseshoe magnet
0:04:38 > 0:04:41with positive and negative at the ends here.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46And here we have copper cable, curled,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49and as we turn the handle,
0:04:49 > 0:04:54they are passed next to the positive and the negative end of the magnet,
0:04:54 > 0:04:56and it causes an electric current,
0:04:56 > 0:05:00and the faster we turn it, the greater the current,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03a bit like a bicycle dynamo. Very well made.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06I think the only bit that's ever been replaced there
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- is a little bit of string... - Mm. Yes.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13..which keeps it going. There you go! Good thing.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17The fact that it is in working order, that all the wires are there,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- £60 to £80, something like that. - Yes.- Is that OK for you?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Yes. Do you think we could put a reserve?- Reserve of £50.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Don't let it go below that. Are you happy with that?- Yes.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- I reckon it'll do well. Let's flog it.- Thank you very much.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Dave and Shirley, thank you for bringing this table to the show.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- I saw you in the queue this morning. - I know.- I jumped on him.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I literally had to zoom in on this lovely cricket table.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Why are you flogging this?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47We've got a new house now. It's a very small house.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Yeah?- This doesn't look right in it at all.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Can I ask why you call it a cricket table?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Why? Well, good question.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57They were originally designed to go in the front
0:05:57 > 0:06:01of a big inglenook fireplace. That was the central avenue
0:06:01 > 0:06:03of any building.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06The section in front of that fireplace was called a crocket,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09and I think this is where the word has been misused
0:06:09 > 0:06:13over the centuries. Crocket has been loosely translated to cricket,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15because cricket has three stumps in the game.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18But these tables have been around since the 16th century,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21two centuries before cricket was invented,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24and they're really designed for uneven floors.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27If you've got an uneven floor and a four-legged table,
0:06:27 > 0:06:30you just can't get them steady!
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- No.- No.- They just don't go steady.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35So a lot of the chairs in the 16th and the 17th century,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38and most of the tables, were made with three legs,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41because all you have to do with a three-legged table is rotate it
0:06:41 > 0:06:44two or three inches, and it will find its own level.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- So what age would that be?- This is towards the end of the 18th century.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50It's around about 1780 to 1800.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- Where did you come by it? - I bought it about 20 years ago.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- And how much for? - I think about 20 quid.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- That's quite a lot of money, 20 years ago.- But I did like it.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02It's had a little bit of damage to the side here.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06The tip has come off the table. But I'm not worried about that,
0:07:06 > 0:07:10because it hasn't got a sharp edge. It's got a nice wear to it.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- It's very tactile.- Yeah. - That won't put the collectors off.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16In fact, that gives it a little bit more personality.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Yeah.- And I'd just like to tip it up and have a quick look.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22You can see how it's constructed.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Most cricket tables have a block underneath them
0:07:25 > 0:07:28which secures the planks together, stops them from moving open.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31If they don't have a large central block,
0:07:31 > 0:07:35they'll have a cleat, and this one's got a cleat. That's the cleat.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- What would you say about these? - Ah, now, that's an early repair.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42You see that? That's known as a strap repair,
0:07:42 > 0:07:44probably done in the Victorian era, around about 1850.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49But it's a lovely example of an 18th-century cricket table,
0:07:49 > 0:07:51and I think you've got a little gem here.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54I wouldn't sell it. But you've got your reasons,
0:07:54 > 0:07:59- and that's what the game is all about. You're here to flog it.- Yes.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03I'm going to put a value on this one of £200 to £300,
0:08:03 > 0:08:06but I wouldn't be surprised if we got £400 for it.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Right. - I know you're desperate to sell it,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12and I'm pretty sure my instinct will bring the bidders in at £200.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- Fixed reserve at £200. - That's fine. Yeah, that's good.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Nick, you've brought in a wonderful bit of jewellery for me.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I mean, this is absolutely my sort of thing.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31If we just take it out of the box - the box is original to it -
0:08:31 > 0:08:34and have a look at it... How did you come by it?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Well, it belongs to my mother,
0:08:36 > 0:08:40and she was given it, um...
0:08:40 > 0:08:43We understand it comes from one of her great-uncles.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Right. There's certain iconography in jewellery that's quite subtle.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52When you've got a pick, a shovel, a gold nugget and a bucket, um...
0:08:52 > 0:08:53HE LAUGHS
0:08:53 > 0:08:56..and Perth, Western Australia stamped on it, and Murchison,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59it can only be one thing. It's actually due to the gold rush
0:08:59 > 0:09:02in Australia, and it commemorates that.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Were there any relatives that went out in the gold rush?
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Well, the story is that the great-uncle, or two great-uncles,
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- went out to Australia...- Fantastic.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14..and that that was the first nugget of gold,
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- but I think that's a bit far-fetched. - Well, there isn't much jewellery
0:09:18 > 0:09:21that one can certainly ascribe to being manufactured in Australia.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23That's quite a rare thing anyway.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27So the fact that we've got - there we go - F Piaggio,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Perth, Western Australia,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32on the box and stamped on the piece,
0:09:32 > 0:09:35and, of course, they're jewellers. What do they work from?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Raw materials. So the whole idea
0:09:38 > 0:09:41that their first nugget would have been turned into a brooch
0:09:41 > 0:09:45- to send home, probably, to a loved one, is entirely plausible.- Right.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48And we've got the name Murchison there,
0:09:48 > 0:09:50and that's for Sir Roderick Murchison,
0:09:50 > 0:09:54who was a notable geologist. When he went over to Australia,
0:09:54 > 0:09:58he was one of the few geologists that explored the possibility
0:09:58 > 0:10:02of finding gold there. They named a river after him, Murchison.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- Right!- Which is, I imagine, where your relatives were panning for gold, found the nugget
0:10:06 > 0:10:09and made the brooch, so it all ties in.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11And it's really quite a sought-after thing,
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- so any idea what it might be worth? - We've never had it valued.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17I would like to think £50, £60, £70.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21I'm reaching for my wallet as you say that.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24It's one of those things, because it's so specialist,
0:10:24 > 0:10:26it will make a lot of money or it won't sell,
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- but you have to protect it with a decent reserve...- Sure.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33..and I think we've got to think in the region of £120 to £180,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36a fixed reserve of £120 on it.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Hopefully the auction house will illustrate it online,
0:10:39 > 0:10:42and we'll have telephone bids from Australia.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- That would be lovely.- Which is where this stuff goes back and sells.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48That's the main collecting area for it.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51So hopefully the telephones will be fighting it off on sale day.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54That would be lovely. Thank you so much.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Adrian, what a great thing!- It is.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- I love it.- Where did you find it?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07I found it in a charity shop in Shaftesbury
0:11:07 > 0:11:10about two, three years ago. It was £18.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14And the wife loves camels, like, so we had to have it.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17That's why you bought it? Not because you thought it was good -
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- Because it had a camel on it. - That is the best reason to buy.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24If you love it... I like that. I have to say, I love camels, too,
0:11:24 > 0:11:28and this sort of thing, you go to Egypt...
0:11:28 > 0:11:30This may well have been made
0:11:30 > 0:11:34around the time of the great excavations in Egypt
0:11:34 > 0:11:37and the discovery of Tutankhamen and the tombs there.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41But what we're actually looking at, of course, is a table lamp.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- That's right.- It's cast in bronze. We call it cold-painted.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- Yeah.- Decorated... Here we are. Little bits of gilt and red.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54And this huge trunk here of the palm tree
0:11:54 > 0:11:58has two little lamps at the top. Now, this, when it was made,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- I'm sure would have been gas. - That's right.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Somebody's converted it. You can see where the solder is attached.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08They've added two little electric light sockets to the end.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Whenever we're looking at this sort of cold-painted bronze,
0:12:11 > 0:12:14the country that we associate with that is Austria,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17and there was one factory called Bergman
0:12:17 > 0:12:22who was making an awful lot of this between around 1880 and 1920,
0:12:22 > 0:12:26and their mark is either a little B in a vase,
0:12:26 > 0:12:29stamped into the bronze, or they often marked "Bergman",
0:12:29 > 0:12:33or sometimes "Namgreb", which is Bergman backwards.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Now, I have had a look all over this.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40I've had the figures off. I can't see anything underneath.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42So I think it's in the Bergman style,
0:12:42 > 0:12:45but probably not by Bergman. But the quality is there.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- It's wonderful. - It shines through, the quality.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- The detail on the camel alone is - - Oh, it's great.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55A lovely little expression on his face! You can even see his teeth.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Now we've got to come to some sort of idea of value.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- If it was a Bergman one, it would be of huge value.- Yeah.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03It really would. The quality's there,
0:13:03 > 0:13:07so I think your £18 has certainly been a good investment.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- That's good to hear.- Would you be pleased with £80 to £100?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Yeah, I think I'd be happy at that.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16That's good, because I'm going to put £200 to £300 on it.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Oh, that's good! That's even better. That is much, much better.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23I'm hoping that two people will think it's Bergman.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Leave it up to them to decide, and it'll do very well.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- It's going into a good sale... - That's good.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32So I'm sure it'll do well. Sure you want to sell it?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- Definitely.- See you on sale day. - Yep. I'll be there.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39And later on, all these items will be coming to the auction room.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43If there's one thing that'll cause a buzz in the auction room,
0:13:43 > 0:13:46it's Deirdre's electric-shock machine.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50There's hundreds of years of character in the gorgeous cricket table,
0:13:50 > 0:13:53so I hope the furniture dealers are out in force.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Michael's looking for gold in them there hills
0:13:56 > 0:13:59with this bar brooch from Western Australia,
0:13:59 > 0:14:01and lastly there's the cold-painted bronze.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Is it a Bergman or not? I think we'll let the bidders decide.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I'm taking a trip into the Exmoor countryside
0:14:12 > 0:14:14to find out more about an almost forgotten craft
0:14:14 > 0:14:18which is enjoying a revival in the modern world.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21These days we rely on the motor car and the lorry
0:14:21 > 0:14:25to transport us and goods all around the country from A to B.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29But not so long ago, we relied on a very different type of horsepower
0:14:29 > 0:14:32to do exactly the same thing.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Here, boy!
0:14:33 > 0:14:37For hundreds of years, horses were a vital part of daily life.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41They were essential for transport, working on farms, down mines,
0:14:41 > 0:14:45and countless other jobs. In fact, around the year 1900,
0:14:45 > 0:14:48there were more than three million horses in Britain.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Of course, they needed regular shoeing,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53and that's where the village blacksmith came in.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56They became so inundated with work that specialist farriers
0:14:56 > 0:15:00began to concentrate on just shoeing horses alone.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03By the start of the Second World War,
0:15:03 > 0:15:06the number of horses in Britain dropped dramatically
0:15:06 > 0:15:08because of the use of cars and tractors.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Nowadays, owning a horse and riding it for leisure
0:15:11 > 0:15:15is a booming business, so once again the farrier is in hot demand.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18These traditional skills are being kept alive today
0:15:18 > 0:15:22by guys like this - Andrew Dennis and his apprentice Jamie.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25I love the setup! It sounds like a mobile blacksmith's shop,
0:15:25 > 0:15:30- and you're hot-shoeing on site. Is that what you're doing?- Yeah.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32What's the training involve to be a farrier?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35How long do you have to serve as an apprentice?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38You're looking at a four year, two month apprenticeship -
0:15:38 > 0:15:41four years, then the extra two months, a trial period
0:15:41 > 0:15:43when the boss and the apprentice work out
0:15:43 > 0:15:46if they're going to get on together for the four years.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- What's the first thing an apprentice has to learn?- Taking the shoes off,
0:15:50 > 0:15:54trimming the feet and adding the shoes on, and finally fitting.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Traditionally it would have been the village blacksmith
0:15:57 > 0:16:01that would have done everything, from making the tools to shoeing.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04That's right. They would have done everything,
0:16:04 > 0:16:08even repairing the farm carts, any farm machinery as well,
0:16:08 > 0:16:10and that type of thing,
0:16:10 > 0:16:12whereas nowadays it's quite a separate trade.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16We only shoe horses and don't do anything else at all.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18The farrier needs his anvil, that's for sure.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21This is a lovely little cute anvil. It's a nice portable one.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24It's got all the tools around it, as well.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Andrew makes horseshoes at his static forge,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30and travels all over Somerset,
0:16:30 > 0:16:32fitting shoes to around 30 horses a week.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35It takes about 50 minutes to shoe one horse.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Different metals and weights of shoe are used
0:16:37 > 0:16:40depending on the type of horse and the work they do.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- What's the shoe made of?- Mild steel. - Can I have a look at one?
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- Sure.- And there's different sets for the front and the back?
0:16:47 > 0:16:51There is. The front shoes tend to be a slightly rounder shape.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53You've got one clip on the front there,
0:16:53 > 0:16:57whereas a hind shoe is slightly more a triangular shape.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Then you've got the double clips on the back.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03And the average set of horseshoes will last how many weeks?
0:17:03 > 0:17:07Depends on what people are doing. If you do a lot of road work,
0:17:07 > 0:17:09they may only last three or four.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12But after six weeks they've got to be taken off and put on again,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15otherwise the feet start to overgrow the shoes.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17We're going to see it right now. We've got Casper,
0:17:17 > 0:17:21who you shoe regularly. We're going to parade in now. Here we go.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Obviously you watch the horse walk, don't you?
0:17:24 > 0:17:29We do, yeah. You're checking to see that it walks with an even stride,
0:17:29 > 0:17:31and you're watching how the limbs move.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34So the first thing to do is take the old shoe off?
0:17:34 > 0:17:35- That's right.- OK.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44There you go. That's it.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02It's a pretty quick process, isn't it?
0:18:02 > 0:18:06It is, yeah. It doesn't take long to do that.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08And obviously you've got to clean out.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11We're taking away any excess sole,
0:18:11 > 0:18:15because there will be some hoof to cut off, after five or six weeks.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- What's the tool you're using now? - This is called a loop knife,
0:18:18 > 0:18:20because it's a double-bladed knife,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23which is useful for trimming the frog up there.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24That's the frog.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27And the horse just doesn't mind at all.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- He really doesn't care, does he? - No. Most of them are pretty good.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- Looking good.- Yeah, getting there.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- What's next?- The next thing will be to shape the shoe up.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Ooh, that's hot!
0:18:48 > 0:18:51I'll stay well back, cos I've got no goggles.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14There you go, boy.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26And the idea here is to burn the sole of the foot.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30- Where the burn marks are, you peel off?- That's right.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34The clip here at the front has burnt the hole in the front of the hoof,
0:19:34 > 0:19:37so I'm cutting out a hole to allow that clip to sit in there,
0:19:37 > 0:19:40so it sits flush at the front, then, to the hoof.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44And you're burning down to make sure you've got the foot absolutely level.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- That's it.- And now for the nails?
0:19:51 > 0:19:55That's right, yeah. There we go.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- One final clean-up.- That's right,
0:20:00 > 0:20:04and I'm just checking to see where the white line of the hoof is,
0:20:04 > 0:20:05running round the outside,
0:20:05 > 0:20:08cos that gives you a guide as to where you can put the nails
0:20:08 > 0:20:11without doing any damage to the horse.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26I see. So you always hit them almost straight down,
0:20:26 > 0:20:30then cut off the excess once it's come through the outside of the hoof.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33That's right. You're cutting the edge off
0:20:33 > 0:20:36so it doesn't do any damage if the horse pulls away. That's it.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41How about that? Unbelievable!
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Nothing like a new pair of shoes, is there?
0:20:44 > 0:20:45We all need new shoes.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- New shoes?- Don't mind if I do!
0:20:53 > 0:20:55That's quite enough horsing around.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58It's time we were off to Bearnes auction rooms in Exeter.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02We're about to sell our electric- shock machine to the highest bidder.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06I'm hoping the cricket table will catch somebody's eye.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09And will there be any collectors awake in Australia
0:21:09 > 0:21:14to bid on the gold brooch? Finally, has anyone spotted the potential
0:21:14 > 0:21:16in the cold-painted bronze?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Hopefully we're in for a shock right now! We've got £60 to £80
0:21:21 > 0:21:23riding on Deirdre's electric-shock machine.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- It's a lovely old curio. - It is, yeah.- Be sad to see it go?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Sort of. My husband would be quite glad if I took it home.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- Would he? Is he going to miss it? - Sort of.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35It's the curio factor. You always want to play with it,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- or entertain someone with it. - We don't want to do that.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- They don't know what it is. - It's not even that.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44It's just, once it's gone, you'll never see one again.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- But if it goes, it goes. - You do see them.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48You do. We value regularly.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52But they are such a lovely talking point at a dinner party.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Exactly. End of dinner, fingers in there.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56THEY LAUGH
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Victorian patent magneto-electric machine
0:21:58 > 0:22:02for nervous diseases. 30 starts me. Anybody nervous?
0:22:02 > 0:22:0332. 35. 38.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05And 40.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- We're in!- 42. 45.
0:22:07 > 0:22:1048. No? It's with me at 48. But 50 for you?
0:22:10 > 0:22:14There you go. On my left, at £50. And five anywhere?
0:22:14 > 0:22:17It's on my left at £50. And five, will you?
0:22:17 > 0:22:21- Are you all done? - We've done it, haven't we?- Great.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22At £50.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- £50.- Made it.- Just.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- Just, just, just.- Just, just!
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- It's gone!- It's gone, yes.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Don't have to carry it home. It's heavy.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36Here with me at £50.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40My turn to be the expert now,
0:22:40 > 0:22:43and I'm biased, because I absolutely love furniture,
0:22:43 > 0:22:47especially oak, and it's Shirley and David's little oak table.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50It's absolutely gorgeous. This would be a keeper for me,
0:22:50 > 0:22:53but I know you want to sell it. I'm confident of the value,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55£200 to £300. OK?
0:22:55 > 0:22:57- Yes.- Nice West Country table!
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Let's flog it, Shirley. This is it going under the hammer.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Georgian provincial-oak cricket table.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06A few pretty repairs. Interest here. Commission bid is with me
0:23:06 > 0:23:09at £170. 80, will you?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- It's with me at 170. - Just showing there.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14170. And 80, will you?
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- Come on!- Are you all done?
0:23:17 > 0:23:21- Are you sure? Then, it's with me. - Oh, no!- And it's going to stay.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- I hope he's going to sell it. - At £170. That's unsold.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27I can't believe it! Do you know what...
0:23:27 > 0:23:28I don't believe it!
0:23:28 > 0:23:31That's £200 to £300 any day of the week.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33I just don't think the bidders are here.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36It's a general sale. If somebody was here
0:23:36 > 0:23:38that loved that piece, they'd have picked up a bargain.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- It's one of those things, isn't it? - Yeah. Not to worry.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Don't part with it, then! You're meant to keep it.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Oh, dear. I feel like I've let you down.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- Don't worry about it.- It's gorgeous!
0:23:48 > 0:23:52It's got the right height and the lot. It's just beautiful.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- I'm sorry about that. - We can find somewhere for it.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Five. 60. Five.
0:23:57 > 0:23:5970. Five.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02It's a gold brooch. It belongs to Nick here.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05We've got a valuation of £120 to £180.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08There's a lovely story with this. It's been in the family a long time.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11It's been in the family well over 100 years,
0:24:11 > 0:24:13and it came to my mother,
0:24:13 > 0:24:16and her great-uncle went off to the Australian gold fields,
0:24:16 > 0:24:18and this was the first nugget of gold they found.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Spot-on. You've got what it is, and you've got the original box
0:24:22 > 0:24:27with the retailer's name. Maybe I should have said 300 to 500 Australian dollars! I don't know.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Hopefully someone's on the phone going, "G'day! Is that Exeter?"
0:24:31 > 0:24:36- Why are you flogging this, Nick? - My mum and dad are coming up to 60 years of marriage in September,
0:24:36 > 0:24:40and Mum doesn't want it any more, and they're going to put the money towards celebrations.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44- Why not? 60 years together. - Wonderful.- That's lovely, isn't it?
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Good luck. It's going under the hammer now.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50The souvenir bar brooch in the form of a gold miner's pick,
0:24:50 > 0:24:54shovel and bucket. Starts me here, then, at 75.
0:24:54 > 0:24:5685.
0:24:56 > 0:24:5895. 100.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02And ten. Doorway bidder at £110. 20, will you?
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- It's in the doorway at 110. - Come on!- 20, will you?
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Are you all done? And I'm selling outside...
0:25:08 > 0:25:12- Selling it, though. - Yeah. Bit of discretion.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16- The hammer's gone down. £110. That's a result.- Yes.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18- We just got it away. - Just. That's not bad, though.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21They're all asleep in Australia. That's the problem.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Needed a later start! They'd have all been on the phone.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Not bad. I mean, it is a brooch,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31which is the least saleable and wearable piece of jewellery.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34I think that's gone to a collector for its history.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I think you're right, yeah.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44This one will light the room up. It's a cold-painted bronze.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47It belongs to Adrian here. £200 to £300.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48Why are you flogging this?
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Because basically it's surplus to our requirements.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54We've got another baby coming,
0:25:54 > 0:25:56- and it's a bit of a heavy lump to have around.- OK.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00- And the money will come in handy. - Dead handy. Be a new car seat.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Why not? £200 to £300. We've seen these do a lot.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07A lot better. We've seen them make a lot of money.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Can't find a maker's mark on it. If it had Bergman,
0:26:10 > 0:26:12you could put a one in front and more.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16- Cold-painted bronzes always sell. - They do, especially with camels.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Or animals, animals as such. Yeah. It's about to go under the hammer.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21This is it. Good luck, both of you.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Austrian cold-painted bronze table lamp
0:26:24 > 0:26:27of an Arab on a camel. Minor bit of damage,
0:26:27 > 0:26:31but that doesn't seem to have put you off. I open the bidding here
0:26:31 > 0:26:33at £550.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- Straight in!- £550.
0:26:35 > 0:26:3880, will you? 580.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40600. 620.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42650. 680.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44700.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48And 20. That's the book out. It's with you in the room, sir,
0:26:48 > 0:26:50at £720. 50, will you?
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Wow!- No phones. The book's out,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56and I'm selling in the room at £720.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01- Yes! We will take that.- Excellent! - Do you know what? Job done.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04£720. They are so decorative. No wonder it went for that.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08I am so happy. What are you going to do with £720?
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- Buy a new car seat for the baby. - And? Plus?
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Plus probably have a couple of bottles of champagne on the baby
0:27:14 > 0:27:15when it's born.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18You had a sneaky notion that would do well.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Yeah. I think they think it's Bergman,
0:27:20 > 0:27:24and it's one of those things that, the right feel, the right vibe,
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- so fashionable! They do so well. - Yeah.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- Great result. Made its money. - Well done!
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Fantastic!
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Adrian is delighted with that result -
0:27:34 > 0:27:36£400 over the estimate.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38But now it's time to travel to Norfolk
0:27:38 > 0:27:41and see whether King's Lynn can beat that.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46At the easternmost reach of England, the pretty port of King's Lynn
0:27:46 > 0:27:48has a history of commerce and dealing
0:27:48 > 0:27:51that goes back to medieval times.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55For many centuries, the Warehouse on the Wash was a boom town,
0:27:55 > 0:27:57not only trading with ten English counties
0:27:57 > 0:27:59but also with our European neighbours.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Just looking around King's Lynn,
0:28:01 > 0:28:04you can see it contains some of the finest buildings
0:28:04 > 0:28:06you'll see anywhere in England,
0:28:06 > 0:28:09with a mixture of medieval, Tudor, Jacobean
0:28:09 > 0:28:12and Flemish-influenced architecture.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20And raring to go exploring the antiques of King's Lynn
0:28:20 > 0:28:24are experts Elizabeth Talbot and that salty old sea dog, Charlie Ross.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35David, wonderful case. Fabulous quality.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Will I be disappointed when I open it up?
0:28:37 > 0:28:39- Have a look.- Will I be?
0:28:39 > 0:28:41I think you'll probably not be disappointed.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Look at the lining!
0:28:44 > 0:28:47The condition! It doesn't look as if it's ever been out of there.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50- I think it's probably been in a drawer for most of its life.- Has it?
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- Yeah.- Sugar, cream...
0:28:53 > 0:28:56- and tongs. - Yes.- Now, where did you get it from?
0:28:56 > 0:28:58This came from my parents.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02I believe it was a wedding present to my father's parents.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06- Right! Have you dated it? - Well, I've had a go,
0:29:06 > 0:29:08and I think 1882.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10And you can probably say where it was made?
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- I think so.- Yeah?
0:29:13 > 0:29:15- I think Sheffield. - You think Sheffield.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Well, we're going to have a look. It's a London maker.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22- It's a leopard's head in a shield. - Ah, yes.- OK?
0:29:22 > 0:29:25And I think we're on a capital G in a shield.
0:29:25 > 0:29:271882 is spot-on.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30A fabulously presented thing!
0:29:30 > 0:29:34- And a little bit of gilding, silver gilt on the inside.- Yeah.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38It's hardly ever been used, because the first thing to go
0:29:38 > 0:29:41- would be the gilding. - I don't think my parents used it.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43That lovely golden touch to the inside
0:29:43 > 0:29:46makes it even more attractive.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50And even down to what we call the cartouche here,
0:29:50 > 0:29:53which hasn't been engraved to anybody,
0:29:53 > 0:29:56which means that, if you wanted to re-present this to somebody
0:29:56 > 0:30:00as a present, you can put their initials in there.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02It's beautifully made.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05But I've gone a bit overboard with my description of it
0:30:05 > 0:30:09- and my enthusiasm for it. - You going to match it in price now?
0:30:09 > 0:30:11I'm not, really, no.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15The value, sadly, is not more than between £100 and £200.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18It's more or less where I thought, yes.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21I'd like to see that have a reserve of £100.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24I think it's going to make... If you put me on the line,
0:30:24 > 0:30:28I'd say it's going to make 130 quid, 140, that sort of money.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30- Happy with that?- Yes, indeed.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32- What will you spend it on? - What will I spend...
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- It might be down to my wife to decide that.- It always is!
0:30:35 > 0:30:39- Perhaps she'll spend it on you. - Unless she doesn't know we're selling it.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43Ah! Cross that bridge when you come to it.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45- Let's get it sold.- Good luck.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Thanks very much indeed.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56- Robert, what a gorgeous watercolour! - You like it?
0:30:56 > 0:30:59- Yes, I do. Is it yours? - It is.- How long have you had it?
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- About 12 years. - How did you acquire this, then?
0:31:02 > 0:31:05It was left to me by my aunt.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07- She died at the age of 93.- Oh, wow!
0:31:07 > 0:31:11Believe it or not, it was left to her by her father,
0:31:11 > 0:31:16and in turn, the painting was actually given to her father
0:31:16 > 0:31:18- by the artist.- Really?
0:31:18 > 0:31:20- Evelyn Engleheart.- Yes.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24- That's got provenance, doesn't it? - It does. Intriguing, really.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26I've not come across her before.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30I'm using the art index sale-guide book, which all our experts use.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32It says Evelyn Engleheart,
0:31:32 > 0:31:37"fl. 1906-21",
0:31:37 > 0:31:39- "fl" meaning "flourishing". - Oh, right!
0:31:39 > 0:31:43It says here, a topographic artist doing lots of continental scenes,
0:31:43 > 0:31:46especially in the Far East and around Constantinople,
0:31:46 > 0:31:49and this looks like it's somewhere maybe on the Nile,
0:31:49 > 0:31:52with the fishing boats, the dhows, coming in...
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- Typical scene, isn't it? - ..unloading their catch,
0:31:55 > 0:31:57a lot of people here cooking and sitting down
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- and just looking at the goods. - Possibly having a picnic.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Yes, or that were unloaded from the boats.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07It's beautiful. It's got that lovely evening-sun look to it,
0:32:07 > 0:32:11that warm glow, that lovely light. Well, looking in the book,
0:32:11 > 0:32:16we can tell that she's sold before, she's exhibited before,
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- and she's collectable.- Oh, good!
0:32:19 > 0:32:21That's the good news, isn't it?
0:32:21 > 0:32:24OK? And some of her works here have sold -
0:32:24 > 0:32:26watercolour on paper -
0:32:26 > 0:32:30for in between £500 and £800.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- Oh, that's very good. - Travel scenes, lots of dust.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35That's again in Egypt or Constantinople.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39I think a value of 300 to 500's about right on this.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42We'll put a fixed reserve of 300 on it.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45If it doesn't sell, I'll be quite happy to take it home,
0:32:45 > 0:32:48- hang it back on the wall. - OK. Well, we're going to flog it.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50- £300 to £500, fixed reserve at 300. - Yeah.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54- Let's see what the market dictates. - That's lovely.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- Thank you for bringing it in. It's absolutely gorgeous.- Thank you.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07I'm very excited about this, Sue.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09What can you tell me about your wonderful sugar caster?
0:33:09 > 0:33:12All I can tell you is that I got it from a car-boot,
0:33:12 > 0:33:17- probably about four years ago... - Right.- ..um, near Southend.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21Er, I do know the name Moorcroft,
0:33:21 > 0:33:23and I just liked it,
0:33:23 > 0:33:26so I bought it for a fiver.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30- Five pounds? Really?- It was £7.50.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32- And you beat them down.- To five!
0:33:32 > 0:33:34And do you know the name of this pattern?
0:33:34 > 0:33:38- No, I don't.- I believe it's the Hazeldene pattern,
0:33:38 > 0:33:42which is this very stylistic, and quite recognisable...
0:33:42 > 0:33:46Once you've seen it, you do spot it again.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49These trees, in a very simple landscape,
0:33:49 > 0:33:52but this very electric combination of shades of blue,
0:33:52 > 0:33:54and it really works very well, I think,
0:33:54 > 0:33:58and the use of the combination with pewter
0:33:58 > 0:34:01links it back to the early days when, in the early 1900s,
0:34:01 > 0:34:05they produced a lot of items for outlets such as Liberty's,
0:34:05 > 0:34:08and I was rather hoping I'd find a Liberty mark on this,
0:34:08 > 0:34:10but I can't find any Tudric stamp on that.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13But it's certainly... The combination suggests
0:34:13 > 0:34:16that it's a nice early 20th-century example.
0:34:16 > 0:34:22And on the bottom, one might expect to see a very bold Moorcroft,
0:34:22 > 0:34:26with a signature, and the "made in England" impressed into the bottom.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30So it's beautifully documented. It's amazing nobody else spotted it!
0:34:30 > 0:34:32You must have been secretly jumping up and down...
0:34:32 > 0:34:35- I was, sort of, but I didn't know what it was.- Right.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39I just assumed it was something to do with sugar, or maybe flour.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42It's more likely to be sugar. Something as grand as this
0:34:42 > 0:34:45probably wouldn't have been kept in the kitchen,
0:34:45 > 0:34:49but sugar, yes, for strawberries and nice desserts and so on.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53In terms of a piece of Moorcroft, anything which is culinary
0:34:53 > 0:34:57or more unusual obviously is quite a find.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01- One tends to find bowls and vases. - Yeah. I've got a bowl.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05Yes. I can't say ten-a-penny, but you'd expect to find that,
0:35:05 > 0:35:07whereas this is a little more exciting.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10We'll be realistic. The condition is good.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12The only thing that's suffered is the top.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16The pewter's beginning to deteriorate at the top,
0:35:16 > 0:35:21but the actual Moorcroft pottery body looks to be absolutely fine.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25And I'd have said that it should make between £300 and £400
0:35:25 > 0:35:27- quite comfortably.- Right!
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Er, and it might do a little bit more,
0:35:30 > 0:35:35but £300 to £400, I think, is a realistic pre-auction estimate.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- Are you happy with that? - Very, very happy with that.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40- It's just a lovely item. - Oh, I love it.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44- Good return for a five-pound note. - It is, indeed!- Well done, you.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Yvonne, you've brought a bit of history along with you here.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56- Where did you find this? - It was actually a neighbour
0:35:56 > 0:35:59who was moving out, and he was going to be using it,
0:35:59 > 0:36:02- in his new property, for his birds. - For his birds?!
0:36:02 > 0:36:05It was going to be a loft box for his birds to go in and out.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09- So I sort of nabbed it off him. - Did you?
0:36:09 > 0:36:12I didn't think it was worth being used for birds.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16Certainly not. I don't suppose the birds would have wanted it.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18You fly in there and end up in a drawer!
0:36:18 > 0:36:21- I mean, you know what it is? - Yes. A ballot box.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25It's a ballot box, and the date of it, I should think, is about 1910.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28It's Edwardian - 1900, 1910, I would think,
0:36:28 > 0:36:31judging by the construction and the timber.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33It's made of a combination of timbers.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35It's got some mahogany in it.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37The majority of it is just ordinary beech,
0:36:37 > 0:36:40which was a common, cheap wood.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44This is a piece of oak here, which needed to be harder wood,
0:36:44 > 0:36:47because people's hands bashing against it all the time,
0:36:47 > 0:36:49doing their voting.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53Inside, it's got a sort of triangular division,
0:36:53 > 0:36:57so you drop your balls into the right or the left,
0:36:57 > 0:36:59depending on whether it's a yes or no.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02I love the front for a reason.
0:37:02 > 0:37:07The knobs on the drawers have obviously fallen off at some stage.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- Have you seen what somebody's put on there?- Chesspieces.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12They've glued a couple pawns to it,
0:37:12 > 0:37:14so somewhere somebody's playing chess
0:37:14 > 0:37:18without the right number of white pieces!
0:37:18 > 0:37:20We'll just use that to pull the drawer out.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Crudely made.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26There's no dovetailing in the joints.
0:37:26 > 0:37:31It hasn't been made by a fantastic carpenter and joiner,
0:37:31 > 0:37:32er, cabinet-maker.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36It's just basically panel-pinned together
0:37:36 > 0:37:39with some standard locks.
0:37:39 > 0:37:44But it's a great bit of history, and I'm glad you rescued it.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47I'm not quite sure how the birds would have coped with all that lot.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Did you think it had a value when you rescued it?
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- Not much, no. No, not much.- Any idea?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55I thought about £30, £40.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58I'd like to see it make more than that.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00I think, because of the history,
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- I'd rather it made between £50 and £100.- Right.
0:38:03 > 0:38:08If you're happy, and we've saved it from the birds, we'll sell it without a reserve on it.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10- That's fine. - Let's say it makes £100 -
0:38:10 > 0:38:14- what would you do with it? - Finish the floor in my living room.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16So we need more than 30 quid, don't we?
0:38:16 > 0:38:21- Have you got half a floor now? - I haven't got anything just yet.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23- This is the start, is it? - Yes.- Right. We'll do what we can.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- Thank you for bringing a bit of history along.- Thank you.
0:38:26 > 0:38:31So here's what we're taking to the auction room a little later on.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35Charlie was effusive in his praise for David's silver set,
0:38:35 > 0:38:38so let's hope it fetches an equally impressive price.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Robert's watercolour beautifully evokes
0:38:41 > 0:38:43the warm landscapes in the Middle East,
0:38:43 > 0:38:46and I think it should do well.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49The Moorcroft sugar-shaker was a rare find in a car-boot sale,
0:38:49 > 0:38:51and is likely to attract lots of attention.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55Finally, Yvonne saved this Edwardian ballot box
0:38:55 > 0:38:59from being used as a bird box, so here's hoping the ayes have it.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Now, we British are truly an island race,
0:39:15 > 0:39:17and the sea has always played a crucial role
0:39:17 > 0:39:20in King's Lynn's development and prosperity.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Situated as it is on the River Ouse estuary,
0:39:23 > 0:39:27the town has always been an important working port.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30It was only in the 19th century, with the advent of the railways,
0:39:30 > 0:39:35that King's Lynn's prominence as a centre of trade began to wane.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38But for many centuries before the Industrial Revolution,
0:39:38 > 0:39:42the town boasted a thriving fishing industry.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44In fact, there was probably a fishing community here
0:39:44 > 0:39:46before there was even a town here.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54For several centuries, that fishing community lived
0:39:54 > 0:39:58on the northernmost reaches of what is now known as King's Lynn,
0:39:58 > 0:40:01in an area that became known as the North End,
0:40:01 > 0:40:03and to find out more about that unique community
0:40:03 > 0:40:06and its inhabitants, I've come to this local museum
0:40:06 > 0:40:08to meet Arthur Paynter.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14Well, here we go, Arthur. Oh, wow! Look at this.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Gosh! Aren't they tiny?
0:40:17 > 0:40:21Arthur, you've got a particular interest in this place. What is it?
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Well, my family grew up in this North End area,
0:40:24 > 0:40:27and lived in a little cottage just like this.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29My grandfather and grandmother lived around here.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31My mother's family were all in fishing,
0:40:31 > 0:40:34and had been for several generations.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37And it was a very, very close-knit community,
0:40:37 > 0:40:40a huge amount of intermarriage over the years,
0:40:40 > 0:40:42so lots of people were related to each other.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46My old grandmother was one of three sisters who married three brothers.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Paint the picture back then. Was this a street?
0:40:49 > 0:40:53- There's only two cottages here. - No, this was typical of a yard.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57This was True's Yard. It was built around 1790, something like that.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00There were at one time ten or 12 cottages in this yard,
0:41:00 > 0:41:02but only two remain now,
0:41:02 > 0:41:06and probably about 60 or 70 people lived inside this tiny little space.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09That's why it was such a close-knit community.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11- They were all on top of each other. - Did it ever grow
0:41:11 > 0:41:14and move out into the town, or did the town come into this space?
0:41:14 > 0:41:17No. It was always an isolated community
0:41:17 > 0:41:20up this end of town, and it had been here about 1,000 years.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24It was here before the church was built, which was 1146.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26And because of its isolation, I think,
0:41:26 > 0:41:30that contributed to the way the community formed.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32They tended to stay within the community,
0:41:32 > 0:41:35they married within the community.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39Ladies were frowned upon if they married outside the North End,
0:41:39 > 0:41:41so they were encouraged to marry inside it.
0:41:41 > 0:41:46So it was quite an embracing, powerful family union here.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50Absolutely. Absolutely. Family, I think, was everything.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53What about feuding? Families don't get on sometimes!
0:41:53 > 0:41:57I think, like all families, there were fallings-out and fallings-in.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00I remember as child, sometimes there would be a huge screaming match
0:42:00 > 0:42:03when the ladies would go at one another hammer and tongs,
0:42:03 > 0:42:07but within a few minutes they would all be friends again.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10It was a very rough area, and there were fights down this end of town.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14People would not come down to the North End unless they had to.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16- So it had a bad reputation? - A bad reputation,
0:42:16 > 0:42:19and strangers were spotted straight away.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22The police tended to come down here in twos, and never at night -
0:42:22 > 0:42:25- always during the day. - What was the income like,
0:42:25 > 0:42:27and what was their daily routine?
0:42:27 > 0:42:32Well, most of their daily routine was governed by the tides
0:42:32 > 0:42:34and dependent on whether they could work
0:42:34 > 0:42:36and whether they could eat this week...
0:42:36 > 0:42:39But if the seas were rough and they couldn't fish,
0:42:39 > 0:42:42did they supplement their income any way?
0:42:42 > 0:42:44They would take any work that was going.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47They would clean out the rivers, sell a barrel of beer
0:42:47 > 0:42:51from the front room, they would tidy up - do anything to get some work.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54And occasionally it got so bad that they had to go to the workhouse.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Now, these were really proud people,
0:42:57 > 0:43:01and the workhouse, to them it was a stigma worse than prison.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04- I can't wait to go inside. Can we go and have a look?- Yes.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07I'll follow you in, Arthur. Was this your grandparent's cottage?
0:43:07 > 0:43:12- No, but she lived in one exactly like this.- It's tiny!
0:43:12 > 0:43:15Yes. They are very, very small,
0:43:15 > 0:43:17and this is typical of the cottages here,
0:43:17 > 0:43:19with just one room up and one room down.
0:43:19 > 0:43:23That is incredible. What was the average size of the families?
0:43:23 > 0:43:26In this one, we know that 11 people lived in here.
0:43:26 > 0:43:31- How can you get 11 people in here? - Mother and father and nine children.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33You have to remember the physical area of the place.
0:43:33 > 0:43:36There were other cottages in the yard,
0:43:36 > 0:43:38and because of the proximity of families,
0:43:38 > 0:43:42they would have been surrounded by uncles and aunts and grandparents.
0:43:42 > 0:43:45So the children would move about in shifts, eat in one house
0:43:45 > 0:43:47and sleep somewhere else. It was the only way.
0:43:47 > 0:43:51Obviously this is your central heating and your cooking, is it?
0:43:51 > 0:43:53Everything was done from the one fire.
0:43:53 > 0:43:58There's no water in here. There was no water at all when these cottages were built.
0:43:58 > 0:44:02People would drink water from the river, which ran fresh when it was going out,
0:44:02 > 0:44:07or an old man with a horse and cart would sell you a bucket of water for tuppence.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10Eventually they got a tap on, in the 1920s,
0:44:10 > 0:44:13but that was only switched on for about hours a day.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15But even then, that was enormous luxury.
0:44:15 > 0:44:19People would tend to drink water out of the fleets and the rivers,
0:44:19 > 0:44:22which brought in great loads of cholera and things like that.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25It got to be a national scandal at one time,
0:44:25 > 0:44:27and it was even raised in the Houses of Parliament,
0:44:27 > 0:44:31when some MP said, "The people of Lynn will drink anything" -
0:44:31 > 0:44:34only because they had no choice. They had no choice.
0:44:34 > 0:44:37The women would have had to keep everything scrubbed clean.
0:44:37 > 0:44:41One of my memories as a child is the ladies in North and Pilot Street
0:44:41 > 0:44:43scrubbing the step first thing in the morning,
0:44:43 > 0:44:46and you would see a nice half-moon of scrubbed pavement
0:44:46 > 0:44:50outside the front doors, so that was all part of their role as well.
0:44:50 > 0:44:54And they did lots of other things. There were wonderful old ladies
0:44:54 > 0:44:58that used to act as midwives, and they really were part and parcel,
0:44:58 > 0:45:01the glue that held the whole thing together.
0:45:01 > 0:45:03Yes. You must have felt so safe!
0:45:17 > 0:45:21When did the last families move out of here? When were they demolished?
0:45:21 > 0:45:24The process of slum clearance started, I think, in the 1930s,
0:45:24 > 0:45:28mainly due to the bad conditions, the overcrowding.
0:45:28 > 0:45:30It was interrupted by the war,
0:45:30 > 0:45:34and during the late 1950s the programme got going again,
0:45:34 > 0:45:38so the last families moved out of here probably around early 1960s.
0:45:38 > 0:45:41It's a shame these communities are disappearing, isn't it?
0:45:41 > 0:45:45I think when all the bricks and mortars were pulled down
0:45:45 > 0:45:47and taken away, nobody gave any thought
0:45:47 > 0:45:51to the community that existed here, the community spirit and the family,
0:45:51 > 0:45:55so it was one of the things that was lost, I think, along with the bricks and mortar.
0:45:55 > 0:45:58But at that time, people just didn't realise it.
0:46:03 > 0:46:07Thankfully today the fishing industry is still going strong,
0:46:07 > 0:46:10but, as Arthur said, the community has been scattered
0:46:10 > 0:46:13all over the town. But old Northenders still come back here
0:46:13 > 0:46:18now and again to meet up and keep the spirit of this place well and truly alive.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40'And now let's see how much spirit we'll find
0:46:40 > 0:46:42'among the bidders at auction today.
0:46:42 > 0:46:45'Will they be willing to shell out for the silver set,
0:46:45 > 0:46:48'or will the watercolour attract their attention?
0:46:48 > 0:46:50'Yvonne's ballot box gets my vote,
0:46:50 > 0:46:54'and I'm sure the Moorcroft is bound to pull in the collectors.'
0:46:58 > 0:47:01Batemans in Stamford is the venue for today's sale,
0:47:01 > 0:47:05and while auctioneer David Palmer bashes his clipboard
0:47:05 > 0:47:07instead of wielding the gavel,
0:47:07 > 0:47:10valuer Kate Bateman has a look at some of our lots.
0:47:12 > 0:47:15Kate, this is a cracking lot. It belongs to Sue.
0:47:15 > 0:47:19Elizabeth, our expert, has put £300 to £400 on this Moorcroft shaker.
0:47:19 > 0:47:23Believe it or not, she bought this for five quid
0:47:23 > 0:47:27- four years ago in a car-boot sale. - That was a good buy.
0:47:27 > 0:47:30I wish she would tell me where she'd gone. I'll go there myself.
0:47:30 > 0:47:33I think even your valuation is pretty low.
0:47:33 > 0:47:36We've got lots of interest in this. It's 1920s,
0:47:36 > 0:47:39- it's got the Moorcroft signature... - Everything's right about it.
0:47:39 > 0:47:43Condition's brilliant. Lovely pattern, not particularly well known.
0:47:43 > 0:47:46- I haven't seen a shaker in it. - It's a gorgeous colour, as well.
0:47:46 > 0:47:48It'll do really well.
0:47:48 > 0:47:52What do you think this is going to go for under the hammer?
0:47:52 > 0:47:55We've got £300 to £400 on it.
0:47:55 > 0:47:58We're going to beat your estimates, I'm pretty sure.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00- I'd like to see it make double. - Double!
0:48:00 > 0:48:04- Oh! You think £800? - I would think, yes.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07- Lots of interest, then? - Yes, and some telephone bids on it.
0:48:07 > 0:48:09Can't go wrong, can we, really?
0:48:09 > 0:48:13I think Sue will be so thrilled. Everything is a bonus to her,
0:48:13 > 0:48:17- because she no longer wants it, and it's kept in a bookcase.- Flog it!
0:48:17 > 0:48:20Flog it, yeah. And that's the name of the game!
0:48:26 > 0:48:30We've got a Victorian cased silver set, and it belongs to David,
0:48:30 > 0:48:33with a valuation of £100 to £200. Who have you brought along?
0:48:33 > 0:48:35- My wife, Maraike. - Mar-... McGregor?- Maraike.
0:48:35 > 0:48:38- Are you Scottish?- No, I'm Dutch.
0:48:38 > 0:48:39THEY ALL LAUGH
0:48:39 > 0:48:41- So, you're from Holland.- Yes, I am.
0:48:41 > 0:48:44- Maraike.- Maraike. Beautiful name.
0:48:44 > 0:48:48It sort of rolls off the tongue. Why are you flogging this?
0:48:48 > 0:48:51- Family silver?- Well, it's just been in a drawer for decades,
0:48:51 > 0:48:55and I think even when my parents had it, it was also in a drawer.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57It never came out. I think it's time to go.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00- OK. Do you like this at all? - I like it very much.
0:49:00 > 0:49:04But not enough to keep. Let's hope we get the top end of Charlie's estimate.
0:49:04 > 0:49:08Mm. Certainly the bottom end. I'd like it not to sell!
0:49:08 > 0:49:13The case is fabulous. It's gorgeous. It's really never been used.
0:49:13 > 0:49:16A good maker, good date, good case. Must sell!
0:49:16 > 0:49:20- Great price?- Let's prove it. - We're going to find out right now.
0:49:20 > 0:49:24511 is the silver three-piece set,
0:49:24 > 0:49:28sugar bowl... Oh, in a nice case. There we are. Little cased set.
0:49:28 > 0:49:3150 quid I'm bid. 50. Five. 60. Five.
0:49:31 > 0:49:3370. Five. 80. Five.
0:49:33 > 0:49:3590. Five. 100 now.
0:49:35 > 0:49:38At 100. I sell in front. 110.
0:49:38 > 0:49:39120, 130.
0:49:39 > 0:49:42140. 140 down here.
0:49:42 > 0:49:44Goes, then, at 140. I sell on the table here.
0:49:44 > 0:49:47At £140. Anybody else?
0:49:47 > 0:49:49The seated bidder now at 140...
0:49:49 > 0:49:51- HE BANGS CLIPBOARD - Well done, Charles.
0:49:51 > 0:49:55- Yes, well done. Very accurate. - Very good!
0:49:55 > 0:49:56THEY LAUGH Spot-on.
0:49:56 > 0:49:59What are you going to put that towards - jewellery?
0:49:59 > 0:50:03- Er, no.- Well, I thought... All the fashion now is towards the peerage.
0:50:03 > 0:50:07You can't even get an MBE for 140 quid!
0:50:15 > 0:50:18Robert, what do you think? We've got a packed saleroom,
0:50:18 > 0:50:22lots of bidders here. Will we get top price for the Engleheart?
0:50:22 > 0:50:25- We'll keep our fingers crossed. - I had a chat to Kate, the valuer,
0:50:25 > 0:50:30earlier on. She said three to five, that's tempting them in.
0:50:30 > 0:50:33Hopefully it'll be a little bit more than the £500.
0:50:33 > 0:50:36It's a great scene of the Nile. It's topical at the moment.
0:50:36 > 0:50:41Lots of memories evaporating? Oh, is it a sad moment?
0:50:41 > 0:50:43- Not really, no.- No. It's got to go.
0:50:43 > 0:50:45- It's got to go, yes. - You need the money.
0:50:45 > 0:50:48- Holidays are calling, aren't they? - Holidays are calling.
0:50:48 > 0:50:51Let's see if we can get Robert away on a nice holiday.
0:50:51 > 0:50:56- Let's see if we can top that £500. - That would be nice. - It's going under the hammer now.
0:50:56 > 0:50:59Lot 215...
0:50:59 > 0:51:02is the watercolour,
0:51:02 > 0:51:07the Eastern view. A lovely study, this. Very nice watercolour.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10- It's a lovely, lovely scene. - Straight in. £100 for it.
0:51:10 > 0:51:15100 I'm bid. At 100. 110.
0:51:15 > 0:51:17130. 140. 150.
0:51:17 > 0:51:19160. 170.
0:51:19 > 0:51:22180. 190. 200. 210.
0:51:22 > 0:51:24210 now. At 210.
0:51:24 > 0:51:27At 210. 220.
0:51:27 > 0:51:29230. 240.
0:51:29 > 0:51:31250. 260.
0:51:31 > 0:51:34At 260. 270. 280.
0:51:34 > 0:51:36At 280. 290.
0:51:36 > 0:51:39300. £300 now on the phone.
0:51:39 > 0:51:43At £300. I sell on the phone, then, at £300.
0:51:43 > 0:51:46You're all out in front? It goes on the phone.
0:51:46 > 0:51:50At £300. Done and finished, then, at 300...
0:51:53 > 0:51:55- HE BANGS CLIPBOARD - It's gone down. 300.
0:51:55 > 0:51:58- We just got it away. - Yeah.- That was a good result.
0:51:58 > 0:52:01A good result. You can still get that holiday.
0:52:01 > 0:52:04- Oh, yes. A bit cheaper, but... - There's some cheap flights about.
0:52:04 > 0:52:09- Where's the next one going to be? - Probably one of the Greek Islands.
0:52:09 > 0:52:12- I love the Greek islands. - Well, enjoy it.
0:52:12 > 0:52:14- Yeah.- Thanks, Robert.- Thank you.
0:52:17 > 0:52:21Right now it's time to cast your votes on that lovely old ballot box.
0:52:21 > 0:52:24Will it be £50? Will it be 100, or will it go for next to nothing?
0:52:24 > 0:52:27Yvonne, there's no reserve, is there?
0:52:27 > 0:52:30- No.- What a cracking bit of social history, Charlie!
0:52:30 > 0:52:33Absolutely. In good condition, with its original little plaque on.
0:52:33 > 0:52:36It came from somewhere around the law-courts area.
0:52:36 > 0:52:39I like the improvising on the finials,
0:52:39 > 0:52:41little chess pieces.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44- THEY LAUGH - That's a nice touch. That's cute.
0:52:44 > 0:52:49- Lot 127 is the early 20th-century ballot box.- This is it! Fantastic.
0:52:49 > 0:52:52St Stephen's Chambers, Westminster.
0:52:53 > 0:52:56Very interesting lot. As I'm sure you all know,
0:52:56 > 0:52:58- Winston Churchill was a member of this club...- Wow!
0:52:58 > 0:53:01..and one drunken evening, he broke the knobs off
0:53:01 > 0:53:06to be replaced by chess pawns. A lot of social history with this piece.
0:53:06 > 0:53:08Putting up the price for us there!
0:53:08 > 0:53:10Start me at 20 quid for it. 20 I'm bid.
0:53:10 > 0:53:1320. Two. 25.
0:53:13 > 0:53:1628. 30. 32. 35. 38.
0:53:16 > 0:53:1840. 45. 50?
0:53:18 > 0:53:2150. Five.
0:53:21 > 0:53:2560. I sell over here at £60. It's got Churchill's pawns!
0:53:25 > 0:53:2765.
0:53:27 > 0:53:2970. 75. 80.
0:53:29 > 0:53:31- Oh, this is great!- 85. 90.
0:53:31 > 0:53:3395. 100.
0:53:33 > 0:53:35110.
0:53:35 > 0:53:37110. All done?
0:53:37 > 0:53:39At £110 I sell this item.
0:53:39 > 0:53:42- £110!- At £110...
0:53:42 > 0:53:44- HE BANGS CLIPBOARD - Yes!
0:53:44 > 0:53:47You're bang-on, there, Charlie. Top end of the estimate.
0:53:47 > 0:53:50- Are you pleased with that? - That's brilliant.
0:53:50 > 0:53:53That'll go towards that flooring. Is the husband laying it, as well?
0:53:53 > 0:53:57- No.- Are you getting somebody in? - Somebody else has to.
0:54:06 > 0:54:09Right now we've got some quality with a great maker's name.
0:54:09 > 0:54:12It's Moorcroft. It's the best. It's a sugar-shaker.
0:54:12 > 0:54:15- £300 to £400. It belongs to Sue. - It does!
0:54:15 > 0:54:19- You bought this for a fiver. - I did.- That's such a good spot!
0:54:19 > 0:54:22- In a junk shop or charity shop? - Car-boot.
0:54:22 > 0:54:25- In a car-boot.- In Southend.
0:54:25 > 0:54:28- Elizabeth's put £300 to £400 on it. - Yes, I have.
0:54:28 > 0:54:31- It's a nice one, isn't it? - Very nice. I was very taken by it.
0:54:31 > 0:54:35But I will own up - I called it Hazeldene pattern,
0:54:35 > 0:54:39and the auctioneers have corrected it and put it down as Moonlit Blue.
0:54:39 > 0:54:42All the blue ones do really well. It's a similar palette.
0:54:42 > 0:54:44I love the turquoise green and the blue.
0:54:44 > 0:54:47I'm not a big red-Moorcroft fan. For me, this has it all.
0:54:47 > 0:54:51It's got the Liberty's feel, with the pewter top.
0:54:51 > 0:54:54Now, would you take £300 for it right now?
0:54:54 > 0:54:57- You'd be happy with that? - Yeah. I'd like more.
0:54:57 > 0:55:00You would? OK. What would you like for it right now?
0:55:00 > 0:55:04- I'd like, er, 400.- You'd like 400.
0:55:04 > 0:55:06Would you take 600?
0:55:06 > 0:55:09- I'd be silly not to, wouldn't I? - You'd be happy with six?
0:55:09 > 0:55:12I certainly would.
0:55:12 > 0:55:15- Do you want to take 600 now?- Yeah. - No! Wait, wait. Honestly, wait,
0:55:15 > 0:55:18because I think it's going to do that.
0:55:18 > 0:55:21I really do. It's going under the hammer now.
0:55:21 > 0:55:23Lot 462
0:55:23 > 0:55:27is the Moorcroft sugar-shaker.
0:55:27 > 0:55:30Rather fun. Arts and Crafts.
0:55:30 > 0:55:33Put 100 to start. 100 I'm bid.
0:55:33 > 0:55:35At 100 now. Take ten now. 110. 120.
0:55:35 > 0:55:38130. 140. 150. 160.
0:55:38 > 0:55:40180. 200.
0:55:40 > 0:55:42220. 220 over there.
0:55:42 > 0:55:44It goes at 220. 240. 260?
0:55:44 > 0:55:48- 260. 280. 300. - It's climbing, Sue!- 300 this side.
0:55:48 > 0:55:50320. 340.
0:55:50 > 0:55:52360. 380. 400.
0:55:52 > 0:55:54400 now. This side at 400.
0:55:54 > 0:55:59420. 440. New money. 440. 460. 480.
0:55:59 > 0:56:01500. 520.
0:56:01 > 0:56:04540. 560? 560. 580.
0:56:04 > 0:56:06600. 620.
0:56:06 > 0:56:08640. 660.
