0:00:05 > 0:00:08Today we're in the busy market town of Todmorden in Yorkshire.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Not only is it market day, but it's also a valuation day.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Welcome to Flog It!.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Overlooked by the Pennines and located between three beautiful valleys,
0:00:40 > 0:00:44the town of Todmorden is in Yorkshire, right on the border with Lancashire.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47And I'm hoping for a jolly good turnout of local people
0:00:47 > 0:00:49for today's Flog It!.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51The market doesn't look that busy.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Why's that? Well, there's another special event going on,
0:00:54 > 0:00:57and it's right here in this magnificent venue, the Town Hall.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Look at this! Hundreds of people queuing to see Flog It!.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05They want the answer to the question "what's it worth?", and we're going to tell them.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08We've got a great team of experts to value all the items
0:01:08 > 0:01:10everyone has brought along, and leading the crew today
0:01:10 > 0:01:15we've got Flog It! favourites Adam Partridge and Catherine Southon.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Adam runs his own auction house, and is used to valuing all sorts of antiques.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Looks like a German mark on it,
0:01:21 > 0:01:25maybe the Sitzendorf factory. That's quite nice, isn't it?
0:01:27 > 0:01:32Catherine is an antiques consultant with an eye for maritime items,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35and always has a cheery word for our visitors.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- £50 or £60 then.- Right.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- I wonder what it might be worth. - It might be worth millions now!
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- Nice! - THEY LAUGH
0:01:43 > 0:01:46You never can guess what we're going to unpack and discover
0:01:46 > 0:01:50at our valuation days, and for me, that's the fun of it all!
0:01:50 > 0:01:53So let's get down to business, shall we?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Coming up on today's show...
0:01:56 > 0:01:59find out why Adam is looking a bit sheepish.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Right. Have you any idea what it might be worth?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Catherine looks into a bit of advertising history.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09..a can of dog shampoo.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14A bit quirky, and you've... Whoops! Sorry!
0:02:16 > 0:02:20'And a bit of wood turns out to be a valuable and dangerous antique.'
0:02:20 > 0:02:24And that seriously would do an awful lot of damage.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29'With items of every shape and size coming through the doors,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32'it's going to be a mixed lot making it to the valuation tables.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35'So let's look at that rather modern item with Adam,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38'brought in by Catherine.'
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Are you from Todmorden? - No, I'm from Burnley.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- So you're Lancashire, not Yorkshire. - Yes.- I'm getting the grip of this.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47I had my passport stamped at the border.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- It's really close, Todmorden. It's a border town.- Yes.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- It is. Now, you've brought a sheep. - No. He's a ram.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- He's a ram. How did you get him? - Car-boot.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Car-boot.- Yeah. - OK. Tell us a bit more.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03He was bought as a joke for my daughter.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Right.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Since she was little, she's collected sheep.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- Your daughter collects sheep? - Yes.- How old's your daughter?
0:03:11 > 0:03:12She's 16.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16So you've got... How many sheep has she got, roughly?
0:03:16 > 0:03:20She's got about 250, of varying sizes,
0:03:20 > 0:03:24from tiny little ones up to huge humungous things.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27We're not allowed to eat lamb in our house.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31- That's how bad she is into her sheep. - Right.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34He was laid on the stall... laid down...
0:03:34 > 0:03:35- Ahh!- ..like that.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- Like a dead ram.- Like a dead ram.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41So I picked him up. The girl asked... I said, "How much is it?"
0:03:41 > 0:03:44She said, "50p." Gave her the 50p.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I thought that would be a good joke for her.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Put it in my bag, got back to the car with my husband,
0:03:50 > 0:03:53and he said, "It's Steiff."
0:03:53 > 0:03:56So if she'd have laid it that way round...
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Yes. She'd have probably got a lot more for him.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- But he was my bargain of the day! - You presented it to your daughter,
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- who collected sheep, and she was delighted.- And she hates him.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Why?- She hates him with vengeance. - What's the matter with him?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Because he's a ram and not a sheep. - Ahh!
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Well, for 100 years now, Steiff has been the leading name
0:04:17 > 0:04:21and the most famous name in teddy bears, and consequently later years
0:04:21 > 0:04:24in all sorts of stuffed toys and novelties.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27This one isn't of great age, but it's got that great Steiff pedigree.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31And it's very nicely made. Lovely quality.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34You've not dropped on fortunes, but certainly on a profit.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Yeah. And we always watch this programme,
0:04:36 > 0:04:39so it's, like, you learn so much!
0:04:39 > 0:04:41So you can tell me what it's worth.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- I don't know.- Come on. Let's have a prediction off you.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- £20.- £20. Good idea. Good.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- I was going to say put 20 to 40. - Yeah.- Do you reckon?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Yeah.- No reserve?- No reserve, no.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Let him go?- Let him go, yeah. - If he's cost you 50p...
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- 50p's nothing. - Are you going to keep the...
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I know it's not a lot of money, but are you going to keep it?
0:05:01 > 0:05:06It's going to more sheep. Yes, it's got to go to more sheep.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Excellent. Well, thanks for bringing him.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Oh, you're welcome!
0:05:12 > 0:05:15More and more people... Where does the queue end?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- That looks heavy! Are you all right? - It is, yes.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22'And it's not only people coming in. I'm like Dr Dolittle today,
0:05:22 > 0:05:25'with Flog It! attracting all the animals in town.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31'Back in the hall, Catherine's with Sonia and her son Matthew,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34'and some advertising memories.'
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Sonia, welcome to Flog It!. And gorgeous little Matthew, as well.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Thank you for coming and bringing something out of the ordinary.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I always like to see something a little bit unusual,
0:05:44 > 0:05:48and you've certainly delivered today with this lovely collection
0:05:48 > 0:05:52of advertising memorabilia. Tell me about it. Where did you get it from?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55My father worked in Odhams during the '30s and '40s,
0:05:55 > 0:05:59and also in Fleet Street during that sort of time.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- So Odhams were...printers.- Printers.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- It was based in Watford. - Some of these are shop stands,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09posters, all things that would have been used
0:06:09 > 0:06:12to decorate the shops, advertise the products.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15And they really epitomise, to me, the 1930s.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- Yes. - Especially this wonderful lady here,
0:06:19 > 0:06:22who looks so glamorous - she's got this wonderful hat,
0:06:22 > 0:06:27and this lovely red lipstick. Very 1930s.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29And she's holding a can of dog shampoo.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Yes.- It's wonderful!
0:06:32 > 0:06:36And underneath, "Perfection is true of all Cooper Dog Remedies".
0:06:36 > 0:06:39This is another one of my favourites here,
0:06:39 > 0:06:44because it's really futuristic - this fantastic picture of a rocket
0:06:44 > 0:06:47zooming out, and it's beautifully, beautifully drawn.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52"You can 'rocket' your hosiery sales with Ballito heavenly nylons".
0:06:52 > 0:06:55I mean, just... It's a wonderful image there,
0:06:55 > 0:06:59and not something you would associate with your pair of tights.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02No, not really. Not rockets.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04It seems sad to sell something like this,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07which was part of your father's life.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10I've kept some pieces that I particularly like,
0:07:10 > 0:07:14particularly want to keep, so this is what's left over, really.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Well, I think you should probably put them at auction
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- with an estimate of £80 to £120. - Right. OK.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23But I can really see these taking off, actually.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I think people will really get excited about them.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29So with that in mind, I want to put a fixed reserve on
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- of, I think, £80...- OK, that's fine. - ..so they don't sell below that.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Are you happy with that? - I think they're worth...
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Or do you want to pitch it lower and just get rid of them?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- I think 80 is fine. - 80.- They're probably worth 80.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I think they are. So if they don't go for £80,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48I think you should probably keep them,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- and pass them on to your lovely son. - Yes, who's ignoring everyone.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Thank you very much for bringing them along,
0:07:54 > 0:07:56because I've really enjoyed looking at them,
0:07:56 > 0:07:59and I'm sure they will at the auction, as well.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04We can't always hang on to all our inherited items,
0:08:04 > 0:08:06but a reserve protects their value.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11'Lots of people from Tod are waiting in the queue
0:08:11 > 0:08:14'for a valuation, but it seems Alan's elegant timepiece
0:08:14 > 0:08:16'has particularly caught Adam's eye.'
0:08:16 > 0:08:20I can see you've brought a very nice-looking chronometer.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Are you a collector of watches? - I've had a short collection,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26and I bought a book on watches,
0:08:26 > 0:08:29and on the front cover was an illustration of this watch.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32And I went to a watch fair at Liverpool
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- about five or six years ago... - Oh, not that long!
0:08:35 > 0:08:37I managed to find one,
0:08:37 > 0:08:39so I was delighted to find what I was looking for.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42So this is something you'd always wanted to get,
0:08:42 > 0:08:45cos you'd seen it on the front cover of your book,
0:08:45 > 0:08:47and it's the kind of, er, high point of a collection.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Exactly. - And you managed to find it.- I did.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Tell us about the watch. - Well, it's known as a chronometer.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57It does many things - day, month, year, even phases of the moon.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- Yes.- This little implement I use...
0:08:59 > 0:09:01There are tiny little buttons round the side
0:09:01 > 0:09:04for altering the dials.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Right. So this is your way of getting to these little buttons
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- to alter what the dials say. - Exactly.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13And you can see it's French because of the fact
0:09:13 > 0:09:17that the months and the days of the week are in French.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Well, as you can see, time is passing by.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23We've opened it up. It's a fairly standard movement.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- It is, yes.- Sometimes you see these with jewels set in, as well,
0:09:27 > 0:09:31jewelled movements. But for something that does quite a lot,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34it's a fairly standard movement.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37French case. A base-metal case - gunmetal case, of course,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40not a silver case.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44So in some ways it's quite a cheap object really,
0:09:44 > 0:09:46in terms of its construction and movement,
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- but very elaborate, beautiful dial. - Beautiful dial, yes.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Isn't it?- I don't like things that have been damaged,
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- and the dial is perfect on this one. - This is often the problem
0:09:56 > 0:09:59with the pocket-watch and chronometer market.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02The enamel dials here... I'm getting used to this!
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Can I keep it for future ones? A little pointer.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09The enamel dials get cracked and chipped,
0:10:09 > 0:10:12and this has come out really unscathed altogether.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- Crisp.- Very crisp. That's right.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17And the gilding on there's very crisp, as well.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21And it's working. I like the fact it's got the moon phases, as well,
0:10:21 > 0:10:25hasn't it? So, you bought it only about five years ago.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- About five years ago, yes. - From a specialist watch fair?- Yes.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- Right.- Yes.- Probably cost a bit?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Er, I think it was, er, 340.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36340. Did you manage to get that down a bit?
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- He was asking 375. - So you had a bit of a deal on it.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Yes.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Well, I don't think that's a bad price for a watch market,
0:10:45 > 0:10:48but I think, to get interest on it,
0:10:48 > 0:10:51you're going to have to pitch it a bit lower for auction.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Is that something you're prepared to do?- That's fine, Adam.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I thought you might have an adverse reaction to that.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01No. It's just recycling things, and I'll probably buy another antique.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Well, I would say 200 to 300 would be a sensible estimate
0:11:04 > 0:11:08to get people interested in it, and it would be lovely
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- to get your money back, or a small profit would be ideal.- It would.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- Fix a reserve, then. 200 is what I'd suggest.- Right.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18You stand to lose a bit, but you're quite a cool customer, aren't you?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- It'll be good on the day. - It will be good on the day.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24And we know what you're going to do with the money,
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- so thanks for coming.- Thank you.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Right! We're halfway through a day,
0:11:32 > 0:11:35and we're about to put our first valuations to the test.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39This is where it gets exciting, because you never know what's going to happen.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44That's the beauty of an auction room. Fingers crossed, we've got one or two surprises.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47And here's a recap of what's going under the hammer.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Catherine's unwanted Steiff ram surely has to attract bidders,
0:11:52 > 0:11:56as it has no reserve. Will there be any nostalgia fans
0:11:56 > 0:11:59bidding on Sonia's advertising material?
0:11:59 > 0:12:03And Alan paid £340 for his chronometer.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Will he make his money back?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Well, to find out, all of our items are being sold
0:12:08 > 0:12:11at Calder Valley Auctioneers, not far from Todmorden,
0:12:11 > 0:12:13in some beautiful countryside,
0:12:13 > 0:12:17and the commission here is 15% plus VAT.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24The Steiff ram is up next, and owner Catherine and daughter Hannah
0:12:24 > 0:12:27are after funds for some real sheep, rather than the toy variety.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31This is a lovely Steiff ram. I know you're into sheep.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- You've got a little smallholding. - It's not me. It's her that's into sheep.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40Ah! So Mum bought this for you. This is great,
0:12:40 > 0:12:43because it only cost 50 pence, so it is classic recycling again.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- It doesn't get greener than antiques...- No.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48..because they keep going around and around.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- So, what's the money going towards? - More sheep.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- More sheep.- You didn't want a ram because all yours are ewes.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- Yes.- Can't throw a ram in amongst all those ewes.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- You can't.- Mayhem. - It would be, wouldn't it?
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Good luck. Let's find out what the bidders think. It's going under the hammer right now.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Large Steiff soft-toy ram in cream and beige.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Right. There it's being shown.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17It's got the yellow label and the ear stud. 391 is the lot.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20What am I starting at? 30?
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Owe me at £20. £20. 20 I'm bid. And five anywhere?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- At 20.- There you are! - Any further bids?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- At £20. 25.- Let's have another one.
0:13:29 > 0:13:3230, sir. 30. 35.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- 40.- Come on, Flossie.- 45.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- This is nice.- This is good.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40At 50 in that corner. Anybody else now?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- At £50. Selling for £50...- 50 quid!
0:13:43 > 0:13:46First and last time in the corner...
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- It's yours.- Yes!- That's fabulous.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52As Adam just said, 50 pence becomes £50.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55It is all out there! You've just got to get there early,
0:13:55 > 0:14:00to the charity shops and car-boots and little fairs to pick up these bargains. Well spotted, Mum.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- Yes.- Well spotted. - Two real sheep for that.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- Yes.- Hopefully, yeah!
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- Thanks for coming.- Yeah. Thank you.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Two sheep on the shopping list! Now I've heard it all.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18Time for a more conventional antique now - Alan's French chronometer.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Everybody's on the edge of their seats right now,
0:14:22 > 0:14:26because it's not an exact science at auction. Anything can happen,
0:14:26 > 0:14:29and it can go wrong, but thankfully we've got Adam with us.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33We've got £200 to £300 on this, and I think you should get your money back.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36I would hope so. I'm not sure it's going to make much more.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38£300, fingers crossed. Let's get the top end.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42It's a lovely lot, and it's going under the hammer right now.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Lot 310, the French chronograph.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49What am I bid for this? A couple of hundred?
0:14:50 > 0:14:52150? I'm opening this at £100.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55£100. At £100. 110. 120.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57At £120.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01At 120. 130. 140. At 140.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- 150. 160.- He's got a commission. - Are we quite finished at 160?
0:15:06 > 0:15:10Any further bids? At £160.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14At £160...
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Passed on it.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20I said it's not an exact science and things can go wrong.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24It just depends on the day. You've got to have the buyers here.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- Nobody fancied a chronometer.- No.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- OK. There's another day. - I did have my concerns,
0:15:29 > 0:15:32but it's better than Alan being disappointed.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I'll have to learn to tell the time. THEY LAUGH
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Thanks a lot, Alan. - OK.- Thanks for coming.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40What a shame that didn't sell!
0:15:40 > 0:15:44But hopefully Alan will recoup his investment at a later date.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Sonia and son Matthew have come along
0:15:46 > 0:15:49to see their advertising collection go up for sale.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52We got a classic 80 to 120 on this.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Yes, I know. It is a bit of a cliche estimate,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58but these are lovely, and in their own right,
0:15:58 > 0:16:01each item is a little work of art, really.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- Why are you selling? - Um, they were my father's,
0:16:05 > 0:16:07and they've just been stuck away in a drawer,
0:16:07 > 0:16:11and I had nowhere to put them. I've taken the bits I like out
0:16:11 > 0:16:14and I've got them framed, but I've got nowhere else for them.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- Makes sense, doesn't it?- Perhaps someone else can appreciate them.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Look, he's hiding his face. Look!
0:16:20 > 0:16:23PAUL LAUGHS
0:16:23 > 0:16:26You're going to miss all the action! Which is just about to start now.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Here it is. It's going under the hammer.
0:16:29 > 0:16:35And then 480 is the collection of advertising memorabilia.
0:16:35 > 0:16:381930s up to '60s.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- And I've got a phone bid...- Oh, yes!
0:16:41 > 0:16:43The collectors are here and on the phone.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46So I'm going to open this at...
0:16:46 > 0:16:50£80. At £80 I'm bid. At £80. At 80.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54I've 90. At £90. At 90. Do I have 100?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I have £90. At £90.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58At 100 in the room. 110.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02110. 120.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10130 on the phone. At 130. Anybody else, now, for this lot?
0:17:10 > 0:17:16£130. It's going for £130.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19A few people were keen on that. 130, top end and a bit over.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- Yeah, that's great.- Happy?
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Yes, I am. I wasn't sure whether they were going to sell or not.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28I think I know who's going to get the money,
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- after commission's paid. - Yes. We're going out to LEGOLAND.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34I've got another, older boy, so that's where we'll be going.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- Yeah? Oh, well.- There you go.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- Thank you.- He's happy.- Yeah.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54At 40. 45.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57While I've been filming up here, I took the opportunity
0:17:57 > 0:17:59to go and explore the most magnificent house,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02which is a real treasure. Take a look at this.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I've popped over the border from Yorkshire to Lancashire
0:18:09 > 0:18:13to a place called Padiham, to show you a true architectural delight.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17And that's all down to one family, who lived here for 400 years.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21And believe me, it's quite a house. Welcome to Gawthorpe Hall.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35The original structure, hiding underneath the house we see now, was square.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38It was built way back in the 14th century
0:18:38 > 0:18:40as a peel tower, and used as a lookout.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44The tower and land were inherited by a wealthy man
0:18:44 > 0:18:48called Sir Richard Shuttleworth back in 1596,
0:18:48 > 0:18:51and he set about the radical transformation
0:18:51 > 0:18:55of the original medieval tower into this impressive Elizabethan mansion.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Sadly, he didn't live to see the build begin.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Shuttleworth is believed to have enlisted the help
0:19:09 > 0:19:12of an influential architect called Robert Smythson,
0:19:12 > 0:19:14the man behind other great country houses -
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Here at Gawthorpe, it's likely he made the most
0:19:19 > 0:19:22of locally sourced materials. The wood in the panelling
0:19:22 > 0:19:25almost certainly came from the nearby Mitton Wood,
0:19:25 > 0:19:27and much of the stone from a nearby quarry.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33The original Gawthorpe Hall took about five years to build,
0:19:33 > 0:19:36and it's as immaculate on the outside as it is on the inside,
0:19:36 > 0:19:40and that's down to the generations of Shuttleworths who lived here.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46What you've got to remember about these big ancestral piles is,
0:19:46 > 0:19:50they don't always look like they would have done originally.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55That's because each later generation would have liked to have updated the property while they lived here,
0:19:55 > 0:19:58and, of course, add their mark.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02All through the life of this magnificent house,
0:20:02 > 0:20:05marks have been left to remember the family who owned it.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11These carved figures are of the original Sir Richard Shuttleworth,
0:20:11 > 0:20:13who commissioned the house, and his wife.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17And there are family monograms all over the place.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24By 1850, the house was in need of repair and general updating,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27so its then owner, Sir James Kay-Shuttleworth,
0:20:27 > 0:20:29commissioned another illustrious architect
0:20:29 > 0:20:33to transform this house back to its former Elizabethan glory.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37And such a well-to-do family could only call upon the best.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40The architect he commissioned was also responsible
0:20:40 > 0:20:43for designing the Houses of Parliament.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Sir Charles Barry was one of the best practitioners
0:20:47 > 0:20:51of the Victorian fashion for designing in a more historic style.
0:20:51 > 0:20:56His most famous work was arguably the Palace of Westminster in London.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Barry used some very clever and quirky design innovations
0:21:01 > 0:21:04here at Gawthorpe. Take, for instance, this magnificent fireplace.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Normally there should be a chimney breast above it with a flue,
0:21:08 > 0:21:11so it would draw the smoke off the fire so it doesn't fill the room.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15But look - he's put this wonderful great big window up there.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18What he's cleverly done is angled the flue
0:21:18 > 0:21:22so it runs underneath the window and then up parallel with it,
0:21:22 > 0:21:26so it still does the same practical job of drawing the smoke out the room.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30But he's introduced badly needed extra light
0:21:30 > 0:21:32into this room, because it is rather dark,
0:21:32 > 0:21:35due to the wonderful Elizabethan oak panelling.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42What I find so fascinating about this house is,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45obviously it's a place of historical interest,
0:21:45 > 0:21:48but it feels like a family home, not a museum.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52And that's down to the family who have loved it and cared for it,
0:21:52 > 0:21:55and over the years they've added their innovations,
0:21:55 > 0:21:59but kept true to the original Elizabethan design.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02And to tell you the truth, it's the first time, today,
0:22:02 > 0:22:06I've ever heard of it, so I feel like I've discovered a bit of our hidden heritage.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Gawthorpe ticks all the boxes for me. It's well worth the visit.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19The Victorian town hall in Todmorden
0:22:19 > 0:22:22is proving to be a good venue for Flog It!,
0:22:22 > 0:22:25with lots of visitors.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Adam's over at the tables with a bit of bronze brought in by Barbara.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31This is a handsome beast here, isn't it?
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- He surely is.- He surely is!
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Where did you get him from, Barbara?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Well, he's my husband's grandmother's.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40We're not quite sure how she got him.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44She was given it, and she died at 96, 20 years ago.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48- We live on a farm up above Todmorden. - That explains a lot,
0:22:48 > 0:22:52because farmers tend to love their bronzes and figures of animals,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- don't they?- Yes. It's beautiful.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59But we've had it for a long time, and I think it's time for it to...
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- Find a new home. - Find a new home, yeah.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Time for it to "moove" on. I can't believe I said that!
0:23:04 > 0:23:07OK. So, he's magnificent.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10You can tell... He's a good large size.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12- He's a big, heavy lump, isn't he? - Very heavy.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15And, um, nicely modelled, really, isn't he?
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- He is.- Quite nice detail. - The detail is tremendous.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23The detail is very good. I think he's late-19th, turn of the century,
0:23:23 > 0:23:28that sort of period. About where it was produced, I'm sure it's European.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- Yes. - Something tells me Spanish about it.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34- This bit here has this sort of... - It has got a Spanish feel.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- You want it to be English. - You do, and you want it to be signed
0:23:37 > 0:23:41so that I can give you a really good, chunky price on it.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44What expectations do you have? Have you got a figure in mind?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Well, I was hoping for around 500,
0:23:46 > 0:23:50because of the weight and the intricate workmanship in it.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53You'd like to think he should be worth that.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Would you be devastated if it made £200?
0:23:56 > 0:24:01I'm not disappointed. It's worth what somebody's going to pay for it.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- This is the thing.- Yeah.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05So what would you suggest as a reserve?
0:24:05 > 0:24:09I'm a straight-talking chap. You won't get any bull from me.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Oh, yes. Very good! SHE LAUGHS
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- What price do you want for it? - I was hoping 500.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18You were saying 200. So shall we put a...
0:24:18 > 0:24:22- Can we put a 250 reserve? - Yes. We'll do that.- Compromise?
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Life is full of compromise! - It is, isn't it?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27You're clearly a very reasonable lady.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31I try to be. I don't know if my husband would agree with you!
0:24:31 > 0:24:32I don't know.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- OK. Let's go for a 250 reserve. - Fine.- Estimate 250, 350.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Let's just hope there's two or three people wanting it
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- and that it might go up. - He's in a good area,
0:24:42 > 0:24:44because there's agricultural interest round here.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46There's a lot of hill farmers around.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49What are farmers like when they get stuck in at an auction?
0:24:49 > 0:24:53- They never know when to stop! - Exactly!- We always go too high.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57So what we need is two farmers to go for that, and we'll get a huge price.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- There we go.- Let's hope. Thanks.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Let's hope the bidders do get carried away, like Barbara suggested.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Now, I've spotted a bit of wood with a rather unusual purpose.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Right, Stewart and Eleanor, what have we got here?
0:25:15 > 0:25:18I guess this is Dad's, isn't it? It wouldn't be yours.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22- Tell me, what do you know about it? - Er, not a lot, really.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25It was given to my parents about 30 years ago
0:25:25 > 0:25:29by an old sailor, and they've just had it on the wall.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31About ten years ago, when my dad died,
0:25:31 > 0:25:33we had it decorated. It went into the garage,
0:25:33 > 0:25:36and it's been there ever since. My mum died last year.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39We were clearing the garage, and that's on one of the shelves.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42What's really nice is, this came from an old sailor,
0:25:42 > 0:25:46so it's got great provenance. He brought this back from his travels.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48- Do you know what this is? - I haven't got a clue.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52If I did this - bash, bash - have you got a clue now?
0:25:52 > 0:25:57- Some sort of club.- Yes. It's a Fijian gunstock war club.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00I don't know what wood this is, but it's incredibly hard,
0:26:00 > 0:26:02close-grained, dense wood.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05And it's meant to do a lot of damage, as well.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08With the weight, I would have expected so.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- Now I know it's a club, yeah! - It's known as a gunstock war club.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15You can see why. It looks like a gunstock.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17You see this wonderful geometric carving on the handle?
0:26:17 > 0:26:21That's known as cross-hatching, and it's virtually what you see
0:26:21 > 0:26:23on the stock, on the handle of a gun.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- Right. - It's just to give you extra grip.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29And you do need a lot of grip. That's to be held with two hands.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33And that, seriously, would do an awful lot of damage.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- Just about!- Yeah.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40You see this section here? That's been broken.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Maybe this actually terminated in a point at one stage,
0:26:43 > 0:26:47like an arrowhead. Maybe just a sort of spear, as well.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- Now, that's obviously... - The damaging bit.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53We thought originally that it was a plough, a hand-plough,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- with it being that shape. - Understandably.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59That would be for tilling. No, it's not.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- That's a war club. - I take it it's not ceremonial.- No.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- It's probably been used? - If this was ceremonial,
0:27:05 > 0:27:08most of the handle would be decorated with geometric pattern.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- Right.- Yeah.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13So that's what it is. That's what's been in your garage
0:27:13 > 0:27:15all of this time.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- Amazing.- It's incredible, isn't it?
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- It really is. This is 18th century. - As old as that?
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- Yes, it is. Yeah. Sort of circa 1790.- Gosh!
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- At the very latest, early 1900s. - Fantastic.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31And it's got that lovely patina to go with it.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34The wood, over the years, gets tighter and tighter,
0:27:34 > 0:27:36and holds the dirt and the grime and the wax,
0:27:36 > 0:27:40and that's what you call patina. Any idea of value?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- Absolutely none at all. - What would you be happy with?
0:27:43 > 0:27:45- What would he take?- Anything.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Would he? Is he going to treat you to something with the money?
0:27:49 > 0:27:52- I hope so. - Are you a student at the moment?
0:27:52 > 0:27:54- Yes.- Studying, yeah? OK.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- Well, the money will come in handy. - I hope so.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Would you be happy with £300?
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- Definitely, yes.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- I'd be more than happy with £300. - Would you?- Yeah!
0:28:05 > 0:28:09- Will you be extra-happy at five? - Just about, yes!- Right.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13I think to tempt these bidders in, we've got to show them that it's not a trade loss.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16It's not done the rounds. It's from a private source,
0:28:16 > 0:28:20- and you're prepared to let this go at £300 to £500.- Right. OK.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- That's fantastic. - That's auction psychology for you,
0:28:23 > 0:28:27because you know what happens, don't you? It really is a tricky business.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29We'll put a fixed reserve on at £300,
0:28:29 > 0:28:33so if it doesn't go for over £300, it goes home with you.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35This is where it gets exciting,
0:28:35 > 0:28:38because you don't know what will happen at auction.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41We're about to find out. Whatever you do, don't go away.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44You two could be going home with a lot of money.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Not a bad prospect for something found hidden in a garage!
0:28:49 > 0:28:52But now it's Catherine's turn.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56She's found a retro-looking piece of pottery belonging to Cynthia.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00- Cynthia, welcome to Flog It!. - Thank you.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Thank you for bringing along this posy-holder.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07As you look at it, it just looks like a rather ordinary posy-holder.
0:29:07 > 0:29:13But as you turn it over, we're faced with the wonderful name of Dresser,
0:29:13 > 0:29:16namely Christopher Dresser. Tell me about this.
0:29:16 > 0:29:17Where did you get this from?
0:29:17 > 0:29:21It came in a box of oddments from a relative of mine,
0:29:21 > 0:29:24because she knew that I collected green glass,
0:29:24 > 0:29:29and primarily green things, and so it came with a lot of bits and pieces,
0:29:29 > 0:29:32and I must admit when I first saw it, I thought it was rather tacky,
0:29:32 > 0:29:35because I thought it was something modern
0:29:35 > 0:29:38- that we used to have in the '60s. - It does look modern.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41And then I had a book of Miller's Collectables.
0:29:41 > 0:29:46It was illustrated in the book, and a passage about Christopher Dresser.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49So then it took on an entirely different meaning.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- So then you quite liked it. - Yeah.- Well, I don't blame you.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54I mean, you hit the nail on the head.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57When you look at it, it does look quite modern,
0:29:57 > 0:30:00and you probably would think more sort of '40s, '50s.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- But actually it dates from the late 19th century.- Does it?
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- 1880s, 1890s.- Really?
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- So it is quite a bit older than one would think.- Yes!
0:30:09 > 0:30:13To look at it, you wouldn't think it is a piece of Christopher Dresser,
0:30:13 > 0:30:15because it hasn't got his characteristics about it.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19When you think of Dresser, you think of, really, metalwork,
0:30:19 > 0:30:23and very iconic design, quite stylised and very stylish.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27- Really, this doesn't say Dresser. - It doesn't give you the wow factor.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31It doesn't, and it's not until you turn it over
0:30:31 > 0:30:35and you see that name on the bottom. But it is a lovely piece of pottery,
0:30:35 > 0:30:38and I'm so glad that you didn't chuck it out,
0:30:38 > 0:30:41which was probably one of your first thoughts.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45- Do you have any idea on value? - Not present value.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- Right. - But I have had it valued previously,
0:30:48 > 0:30:52- about ten to 12 years ago. - Mm-hm?- £40.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55£40. Right. I would say it's gone up a little bit since then,
0:30:55 > 0:30:59and I'd be happy to put a pre-sale estimate on of £60 to £80,
0:30:59 > 0:31:03- with a 50 reserve. How does that sound to you?- That sounds fine.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06- Would you be happy to sell at that? - Very happy, yes.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11This town hall has been a marvellous venue for Flog It! today,
0:31:11 > 0:31:14and now it's time to say a fond farewell to Todmorden.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17We're making our way to the auction rooms, so let's...
0:31:17 > 0:31:20And put everything under the hammer!
0:31:21 > 0:31:24We're selling Barbara's bronze bull.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Will it appeal to any farmers at the auction?
0:31:26 > 0:31:30Cynthia's green Christopher Dresser posy-holder,
0:31:30 > 0:31:34and Stewart and Eleanor's wooden gunstock war club.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37That's the one to watch!
0:31:40 > 0:31:44At the auction, we've got a bull to sell now -
0:31:44 > 0:31:47not livestock, but Barbara's bronze.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51We've got a reserve of £250, but let's hope we get that top end of 400.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55- Why are you selling this? - Well, we've had it...
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- It's a great thing to look at. - I know.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00We've had it in the family over 60-odd years,
0:32:00 > 0:32:04and it sits in one of the lounges and just sits in front of the fire,
0:32:04 > 0:32:08so the idea is that we'll sell it, perhaps put it into premium bonds.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Oh, really? Have a dabble with the premium bonds!
0:32:11 > 0:32:15- The government can use it. They're in a terrible state!- They are!
0:32:15 > 0:32:18- Do you do the Lottery as well? - Yes.- Have you ever won a tenner?
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Oh, yes. We've won some tens and we've won some 55s.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Have you? But right now, let's find out, shall we?
0:32:24 > 0:32:28We digressed a bit. But let's get back to business. This is Flog It!
0:32:28 > 0:32:33and we've got the bronze bull going under the hammer. Let's find out what the locals think.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38Lot 350 is the 19th-century European bronze model of a bull
0:32:38 > 0:32:42with saddle. Here it is. Lot 350. What am I bid for this?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44A couple of hundred, may I say?
0:32:45 > 0:32:48150. 150. Starting at 150.
0:32:48 > 0:32:53150. Advance in tens. 160. 170. At £170.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57Any advance on £170? At 170. 180. Thank you. 180.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59- Come on, come on!- 190.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01200. And ten.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05£210. Any further bids at £210?
0:33:05 > 0:33:07We're just short of reserve.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09At £210. Anybody else, now,
0:33:09 > 0:33:11at £210...
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- HE BANGS HAMMER - Unsold.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Couldn't find a buyer. I'm really sorry.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- It's fine. It can go home. - Auctions can be a lottery too.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23Yes, exactly. You never know what's going to happen.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27I had had a few second thoughts, because we've had it for so long.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31- Well over 60 years. - Maybe it's meant to stay at home.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34- I like the look of it.- I think it's meant to stay on the farm.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- It's been there so long. - That's where the bull belongs.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40- It does.- Thank you for bringing it in.- That's OK.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44Well, the bronze bull is heading out to pasture for now.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48Let's hope Cynthia has more luck with her Christopher Dresser posy-holder.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Cynthia, good luck! That's all I can say.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Here's the posy-holder. Fingers crossed.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Hope you'll get the £60. What do you think?
0:33:56 > 0:33:58- I don't know! - Oh, dear, we're all worried now!
0:33:58 > 0:34:02Let's find out what the bidders think. It's going under the hammer right now.
0:34:02 > 0:34:08Lot 588 is this rather nice little 19th century posy-holder
0:34:08 > 0:34:11by Christopher Dresser. It's well signed on the bottom.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Greeny runny glaze. Let's open this at, let's say, 40.
0:34:15 > 0:34:1930, then. £30. £30. An affordable piece of Christopher Dresser here.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- £30 I have. Thank you. £30.- Come on!
0:34:23 > 0:34:26This is such a good name.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29At £45. 50, do I see? I have 45.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32And 50. 50, thank you. £50.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35At 50. Any further bids at £50?
0:34:36 > 0:34:40Are we all done at £50? 55, sir.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44- 55.- He thinks, "55. A bit more."
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Then, at 55, signed by Christopher Dresser,
0:34:46 > 0:34:50at £55. Are you all done?
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Are there any further bids?
0:34:52 > 0:34:5455, then.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Yes! The hammer's gone down. We just did it, didn't we?
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Had a reserve of 50.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- Just! - Oh, that was nail-biting, wasn't it?
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- It was!- We don't want to be doing that too often.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Not really!
0:35:07 > 0:35:11That just goes to show Catherine's valuation was pretty accurate,
0:35:11 > 0:35:15but now I'm under pressure, as the gunstock war club is up for auction.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18So you could be going to Barcelona for that photography trip!
0:35:18 > 0:35:21So what's this all about, then, the trip?
0:35:21 > 0:35:24It's for my graphics course. It's photography.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26We're going to go and do some work over there,
0:35:26 > 0:35:29and try and get a bit more in my portfolio.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Ooh! Because we were saying students haemorrhage money,
0:35:32 > 0:35:35don't they, Dad? Eh? I just hope we get the top end
0:35:35 > 0:35:38of the estimate. Whatever happens, that's still £500.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41But you never know. We could be in for a real surprise.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44We see it happen in auction rooms all the time.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46- I just hope it happens now. - Fingers crossed!
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Fingers crossed, please! Don't go away. Watch this.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53This is going under the hammer now. Let's see what it does.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Lot 417,
0:35:55 > 0:35:58the hardwood tribal gunstock war club
0:35:58 > 0:36:02with carved handle there.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05Good-looking piece. Nice patina, lovely carving.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Lot 417.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09What am I bid on this? £300?
0:36:11 > 0:36:14250? 200 I have. Thank you. £200.
0:36:14 > 0:36:19- Gosh, he's starting low, Eleanor. - 225. 250. 250.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22275? 250. 275 in the room.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24£300. At £300. £300.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28- £300. I have 325. Do I see 325? 325. - We've got a phone bid.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31There's somebody on the phone.
0:36:31 > 0:36:36350. 375 on the phone. At 400 in the room. £400.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Stewart, it's starting to get exciting.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42450 in the room. 450.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47475 on the phone. £500 in the room.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49£500.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52- Top end now.- 525 on the phone.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55550, sir. 550.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59575. At £600 in the room.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01At £600.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- This is good.- 625 on the phone.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08650 in the room.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11- Barcelona, here we come. - Barcelona, here we come!
0:37:12 > 0:37:14675 on the phone.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17I've 675 on the phone.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Any further bids? At 675, then...
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- Yes! The hammer's gone down. - Well done!- £675.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28- We're happy with that, aren't we? Well over the top end.- Sure!
0:37:28 > 0:37:31And to think this was in the garage!
0:37:31 > 0:37:35Yes. And only two weeks before the valuation,
0:37:35 > 0:37:37- the garage got broken into. - What did they steal?
0:37:37 > 0:37:41They went through everything, left that, and took a mountain bike!
0:37:41 > 0:37:44SHE LAUGHS So thanks very much!
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- It's enough for a new mountain bike! - It's enough for a new mountain bike,
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- and the air fare to Barcelona. - Definitely.- Yeah?
0:37:51 > 0:37:55- Great!- Congratulations, both of you. Thank you for bringing that in.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58You've made my day and everybody else's here, as well.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00I hope you've enjoyed watching the show.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Do join us again for many more surprises, but for now,
0:38:03 > 0:38:06from the Calder Valley, it's goodbye from all of us.
