Some cities are synonymous with sports in leads rugby and Cricket aheading le football and Ellen road with leads United here at rounde Park cycling and the world Triathlon championships within its sprawling 700 Acres there’s also a cricket pitch rowing on the lake and today our road Shure experts have taken

To the field it all started with the mouse absolutely I might try and squeeze into it when I get back Arnold here with a picture of your dad lifting his arm up about value that’s your job that’s your expertise so on your bikes it’s time to

Saddle up and get on with the show are you ready get set welcome to the Antiques Road Show So this is one of a pair of chairs that you bought back in 1969 do you remember how much you paid for them no I can’t remember at all we’ have tried to remember we just couldn’t our first two pieces of furniture our first pieces of furniture yes that we

Bought I just thought we’d have you know normal Furniture you know a three piece Suite like everybody else but it took me to the sh to the shop in town and there it was and we had it well it’s really of its era isn’t it 1969 and I suppose the most significant

Thing in Furniture Design is that instead of having four legs it’s just got this single leg have you ever seen a label on it or a name on it or not until you found it the earlier um there’s one on the bottom of the Bas you saw me

Having a quick look yes yes yes don’t look at the bottom of your chair you don’t and I love the fact that you bought it because you loved it all those years ago and it actually has the name underneath made in Sweden by the Overman company they made in the 1950s and 60s

These very lightweight and durable and very stylish chairs these colors the pink the orange the purple was so much of that late 60s early 70s era and actually I mean the upholstery looks to be in very good condition we bought a roll of material so that at a later

Stage we could get it covered then our son liked them and he said he’d like them covered and we had all this material so it’s original material but this is the second upholstery of these chairs which is why they look so good it is it’s such a stylish chair really good

That you’ve got this original fabric right and as a pair of chairs they must have a value of £1,500 for the pair for the pair yes they’re so stylish thank you so much for bringing this chair in you that’s fine this wonderful Breeze we’ve got blowing

Today I just imagine these here with a little pair of kind of incense sticks in there with a wonderful sort of Aroma coming off them for these pair of lovely incense burners what’s their story to you they originally came from my aunt’s house they were on a mantle piece and I

Can remember them being there from being a child she sadly passed away in 2004 they asked if I wanted any anything from the house and I said well those two things I said One Was a Teddy and the other thing were these Chinese little lions cuz I always like them think

You’re right to like them they’re lovely um well they are Chinese and what they are a pair of incense burners with these wonderful kind of Buddhist Lions here and what hits me about them immediately is this lovely sort of vivid green they what we call here in the west a fam

Which is this lovely apple green the yellow and then this wonderful oine color that you see on the mains here and we first started really seeing this this type of sort of famt becoming very popular during the sort of kangi period so that’s in the Ching Dynasty kangi

Period and that’s between 1662 and 1722 however these have remained very very popular and we saw lots of kind of not fakes but sort of copies as we were copying things here and we were looking back on the 17th and 18th century here in the UK with a great deal of fondness

And so we were reproducing items that were desirable then looking back on these sort of earlier periods so I suppose the question therefore for you straight away as well are they kangi or are they later and I’m going to say they are later copies of that sort of kangi

Period so they’re not early Ching they’re later Ching putting them probably somewhere in the kind of last quarter of the 19th century so the other thing I find unusual about these is the fact there’s little or no damage and often the ones I see you know they’ve

Got a chip or two out of the teeth or you know the tongues are missing or you know around these you know you’ve always got a little chip or a bump or a knock or something and you haven’t this type of fam porcelain has become incredibly desirable in particular that sort of

Kangi period and those today probably would make between 8 to 12200 at auction brilliant comfortably they sometimes make a little bit more it’s quite an unpredictable Market at the excellent that’s really oh gosh that’s brilliant yeah yeah very pleased thank you now what happened to the teddy I’ve still

Got the teddy still there good I’m pleased to hear it yeah thank you very much pleasure thanks for bringing him in nice thank you now a very long time ago when I was a child I lived a lot with my grandmother and she used to take me on

Trips around London I was about seven or eight and we traveled a lot on buses and one day I can remember her saying a most extraordinary thing has happened a London bus crossed tile Bridge as it was going up and had to jump the Gap and I

Think it’s a sort of piece of folklore a bit of extraordinary London history the flying bus I too knew the story and I got a catalog from one of the auction houses and there was a bus item in there and it said that this plate was actually

From the bus that jumped tower bridge and I just put a telephone bid in and I got this now let’s just go back a bit in 1939 London transport introduced a new type of bus called the RT the driver sits in a single cab on the right and

The engine is beside him and on the engine of every London bus there was this number plate which was a bonnet plaque and it was the IDE identity for that particular bus what of course we know is that that bus RT 793 is the flying bus what happened was that um in

Those days there was a a traffic light and a gate which shut off the road to the bridge and on this murky cold Misty morning the gatekeeper forgot to do it and the number 78 bus on its way to sh ditch entered onto the bridge and the

Bascule began to rise and then the driver had a choice do I slam the brakes on and back off or do I slam my foot down and go for it and now clearly the obvious decision is stop and reverse off for some reason he thought no no I can

Do it there were 20 passengers on the bus all of them had injuries minor or major because of course they all fell about that’s the story and there is the number so what did you pay £320 I think that’s going to be 800,00 something like that it’s never

Going to be sold you’re never going to sell it yeah thank you very much for bringing this great story to life thank you very much we got this little spinning chair what part of the world do your family come from Yorkshire Yorkshire this doesn’t look very Yorkshire really to be

Honest with you this Notch carving is all rather fine it kind of almost looks well actually in a way dates from around about the late 19th century it’s got a rather arts and craftsy feel about it it’s a nice decorative little item value it’s probably going to be between sort of 1

And2 200 something like that we’ve got two wonderful pictures here both signed by Phillip navii who was an artist who spent the best part of his life in an around leads and was he someone that you knew no we didn’t know him personally but when we we moved into

The house we’re in we discovered that he had been the previous owner and there’s only him and us that have owned the house since it was built in 1926 oh wow and so were these pictures in the house when you bought them no there was an arid shelter that we explored there was

Attics and there was a safe and there was no paintings where did you find these well there was a rug shop in Chapel alaton that was displaying some of his work and we went down there and they sold two pieces to us for half price cuz we lived in his house well

That’s lucky this was one of them and so where did you find this one I used to work for a charity in South Leeds and uh two paintings came into the charity shop and as I got close I like I can’t believe it they’re both navias so I

Looked on the back of one of them and discovered that it actually had our address on the back which I was really excited about but I had to go through the whole bidding process properly and fortunately I did actually win the one that I wanted so this is an oil painted

On canvas spard and it really shows how confident Navas was um using oil he’s used these wonderfully fluid brush Strokes with how he’s captured the water and the sky and the Mast of the ships and in terms of the pette he’s really captured the warmth of a Spanish Seaside

Harbor and I think it’s quite a nice contrast to this much more technical drawing of a mother and child I think his wife and one of his children in Black chalk on paper and he’s just captured them I love sketches because you really see the artists working

Process and they’re always a little bit more spontaneous you know you can’t make any mistakes on that you’ve just got to go for it and the way that he’s portrayed the shading and the Contours of both of their features he’s really looked at them carefully I’m not so fond

Of his Landscapes but I absolutely love his portraits whereas I think I I do like this yeah so if this one came from a charity shop how much did you pay for it somewhere between 50 and 250 that’s not a bad find cuz I think these days I

Mean naski he doesn’t come up all that often if the Spanish views to come auction we’d probably see an estimate in around £800 to ,200 oh wow um and then this little drawing again very rare they do not come up at auction that often I would have thought that would probably

Be in the region of 3 to 500 wow brilliant yeah that is surprising actually isn’t it yes yeah yeah yeah you can put them back where they belong on the wall in his house absolutely well what an intriguing plaque so private young was he your presumably your grandfather not your father yes yeah

Tell me about him he took the name Young his name actually morale but he took the name Young of his of his mom’s maid name because he felt he might be too young to to get into the army to enlist for the first war the first world war so he

Become known as yungi of course all the lads wanted to get involved then yes that’s right he was a stretcher Bearer he went into no man’s land under heavy fire bandaged them up and carried them back to to safety uh on nine separate occasions for which he was awarded the

Victoria Cross yes that’s right what a brave chat and having been awarded the VC he was presented with this watch as an extra thank you local yeah and apparently there was over 100,000 people at the ceremony how incredible yeah well the watch is signed Reen son’s Newcastle P sign very very good Jewelers

And there is his monogram on the back yeah let’s look at the movement it’s a 3/4 plate English lever movement and it’s just a nice quality product yeah nine karat gold the Hallmark is in fact London 1914 it’s not working you probably when did you last have it cleaned and overall

Do you ever remember having it done no been on the wall there probably been wound up too many times with the grandchildren well it’s like your car it needs the occasional service and a regular oil you see so pretty much seized up as such now forget the watch

For the time being what happened to the Victoria Cross itself well the story is me Granddad porned the medal and the watch because obviously times were hard the officers from the Duran light infantry club together they bought the watch and the medal back they presented

The medal to the Dural KN infantry to go into their Museum and they promised to present me father with the watch when he was 21 which they did do and my mom his sisters had to get special permission to go to the ceremony because they weren’t

Allowed in pubs or clubs at the time women weren’t allowed in and this was given back to my father when he was a lovely story yes yeah and the VC is still in in the LI in museum well yes we wanted to put the watch with the m but

Last time I heard the medal was in Durham University Library somewhere I’m hoping that somebody could G up and and get the medal back and then you could have it all as one little thing together that would what we would love to do of course if you can try and reunite them

That would be lovely yeah the watch as I say nine karat it’s not a fortune no no forget the connection if it was just a watch on its own at auction it would be making 7 to 900 it’s not the finest but it’s a wonder wonderful wonderful story and

Please try your best to reunite the whole lot I will do yes certainly would love to thanks thank you good to see you thank you very much thank [Applause] you our gloriously verdant venue has a long tradition of sporting activity here at rounde Park there’s one sport that’s

Been part of the landscape for more than 120 years and that is grass track cycling and this banked vome was built in the 1890s as part of a sports arena here in the park and that was at a time when cycling was becoming much more popular rounde Park’s vrone would go on

To be a training circuit for future Olympic and world champions the West riding track League still race here and Mandy Parker is one of the coaches and organizers there’s a long proud tradition here in Mand isn’t there recycling you’ve got some photographs there when did they date from well we’ve

Got one from probably 192 7 1928 and that’s when there was an amazing mock castle built in the park and what about the other one the other one is just a start of the races they’re all on track bikes fixed wheel no brakes so as long as those pedals are turning those wheels

Are turning and that’s how it is today of course exactly the same on the Val drone and this is a grass Val drone and when it comes to local record breaking cyclists none are more proudly remembered than the legendary Barrel Burton now tell me about barl Burton because

She’s not a household name but she is an absolute icon of cycling isn’t she he’s a Yorkshire last worked on a rhubarb farm and this is the 1950s we’re talking it’s 1950s when she actually started a cycling career and she broke records by the Dozen oh she did these

Are all time trials so they’re all on open roads so you’ve looking at 10 Mile 25 and 50 mile time trial records were kept for something like 20 years nobody could beat her her 100 mile time child record was held for I think it was 28 years and the distance she could cover

In 12 hours which is called the 12-hour record was held for 50 years and it wasn’t broken until 2017 did she beat men uh yes she beat men all the time they were just all in together they weren’t separate in one instance she was on a 12-hour record and she actually

Pulled up alongside Mike mcara who was the male record holder at the time offered him a suite I think it was a licorice Alla and went past him and she was just stunning I mean these days we’re used to successful record-breaking female cyclist Laura Kenny Victoria Pendleton come to mind

But barl when she was doing it she was out there ahead of them all wasn’t she she was they didn’t have the sort of support that our athletes now have to go abroad and race internationally they had to do it themselves so they had to fund

It themselves they had to save up the money a husband would drive around on the 12-hour record with all the food packed in the car and feed on the wing so to speak and that’s how they did it in those days well thank you for telling us all about it you’re

Welcome well among 300 bodybuilding magazines which you brought into begin with I managed to find these photographs here and behind it you have a wonderful story uh these all including Arnold Schwarzenegger and your father yes tell me about it well my dad was born in India and moved to Kenya and then to

England his passion from being young was weight training he was a builder but he always wanted to open his own gym which he did in the 70s in harate the first one and he first met Arnold at the age of 19 in London when he was that age

There this is the young Arnold go gosh yes and Arnold’s inspiration was a lead bodybuilder reg Park who made the film Hercules right my dad called Arnold to do some seminars in 1981 to leads yes he came to our house mom cooked and there’s you yes that’s me Arnold my brother and

My mom and your mom oh how wonderful look you’ve got a wonderful photograph here and it’s to Stephanie and obviously we’ve got Arnold here with a picture of your dad lifting his arm up he just thought my dad was so strong and your father’s got all his clothes on and say

We can’t possibly tell from that and who’s this this is Arnold Schwarzenegger and and Dave John’s passed away now me and my brother so that’s absolutely wonderful I mean that is quite incredible well how does how do I value this you wanted me to Value 300 bodybuilding Magazine from the 1940s I’m

Not going to I’m not going to go there we’ve got well these lovely personal photographs you’ve got about four sign photographs of Arnold Schwarz and Egger what am I going to put on it what do you think I I hav a clue well I think just this small private section of the

Collection I’m going to put £2,000 on it really £2,000 for unknown photographs of Arnold Schwarz and ner this one I think is a well-known one it’s the one that he used as a publicity one all the other ones as far as I can see are absolutely private oh yes and early Arnold

Schwarzenegger too thank you for bringing it in I’m very proud of my father for what he did and I just wanted to share it with you something for leads thank you for sharing it with us we we love [Applause] it I always love it when we can do a bit

Of a reveal with a beautiful box and then there’s going to be a fabulous piece of jewelry inside and here we have it such a pretty Diamond clustering it’s got a name on the inside George Harriet so what do you know about the Jeweler George Harriet George Harriet was the

Jeweler to King James I first of England James I 6 of Scotland were more specifically for his wife who was Queen Anne of Denmark oh of course she liked jewelry she liked her jewelry so much that in fact at one point she was indebted to George Harriet for 10,000

Which you can imagine in the early 1600s in today’s money it’s a lot isn’t it it was a money lender as well wasn’t he and that was one of the interesting things about him he was lending money to the Royals who would then spend the money

Back with him brilliant way to have a jewelry business really isn’t it and it’s really quite fun but he was also had a nickname do you know what it was jingling George that jingling Jordie that’s it because he would walk around with all his cash in his pockets and and

Of course there were coins and it it jingled so that’s that’s what he was known as which he’s great fun isn’t it but not to take away from the fact that he was a superb Jeweler with a great eye so how did this get into your family an

Antecedent of mine married somebody who was a descendant of George Harriet ah and the ring came through that route good so looking at the piece of jewelry itself I mean it’s so pretty isn’t it it really is a lovely ring and if we have a

Look at the back of the actual piece of jewelry we have this fluting on the inside of the Ring here which is very typical of early 18th century possibly late 17th century but definitely moving into the Georgian period this style was picked up on and used a lot and there

Are Jewelers today who really love this what we call a button setting so that’s the first sort of thing to look at we then look at the way the stones have been cut and they’re very beautifully cut rose cut diamonds which have a flatb and facets all around the top to make

Them Sparkle and then they’ve been put into quite heavy collet settings which are silver and that helps to secure the stones in before we knew about prongs the you know the claw setting that we have to today and then of course it’s on a beautiful gold band now there are some

Pieces from the period that we’re talking about that were made like this but there’s something that I’m just feeling that it could be a bit later than we are thinking and that there’s been this big sort of diversion put your way by having George Harriet’s name in

The box but of course it has come down through descent from this lady who married into the family and we’ve got the we’ve got the backstory there so it’s it’s a little bit of a mystery in some ways isn’t it I’m not disputing that it isn’t by him or prove it is

Exactly and I think that that’s what we always have to be very open about when it comes to looking at jewelry in terms of value if it turns out that it isn’t George Harriet and it’s a Georgian ring then we’d be looking at an auction estimate of £500 to 2,000 that’s still

Quite a substantial amount it is isn’t it yeah not bad at all so of course if if we can link it to George herit and the fact that he might have handled it or it had been given back in repayment of a debt by the king and queen we would

Be looking at a value in the region of £6,000 really that would be very nice good thank you for bringing it along thank you for looking at it antique games and toys always brighten up our day on the road show and none more so than rare merchandise of a

Much loved cartoon character when I look at this Mickey Mouse toy or doll I think of what Walt Disney said we must remember it all started with the mouse absolutely and that’s where Disney kicked off in 1928 when Steamboat Willie came out the first cartoon was synchronized sound and

Of course everybody then wanted a Mickey Mouse doll so in came the moment of merchandising what do you feel when you look at this I think there is so much that we feel because Disney’s is a really big part of our life so we got engaged at Disney and our entire house

Every different room is a different Disney story well gosh I feel rather sort of uh nervous at this point that’s but I’m just going to LEAP in so all the materials are the right sort of kind of materials so made from cloth but I think that what you’ve got here is the

Barebones of a 1930 6 Nica toy company Mickey Mouse doll and Nica was a toy company that was in New York and they started making Mickey Mouse dolls in around 1934 right how much did you pay for it so we paid uh $400 $400 okay you’re looking rather worried at that point

Submitting it to the parents we are no your secret is out so there have been little changes along the way definitely I think the whiskers are probably later the original whiskers were slightly thicker string and slightly longer probably for me the biggest thing is the hands those 1936 hands were like little

Stylized flowerheads with four Petals on the fingers were not joined together at all and then the original shoes were made of a like a formed cardboard M and they had like a flock finish to them now you paid £400 so you $400 but yeah well that’s even less so you’re on pretty

Safe territory good I think that probably this would be worth around what you paid for it you have the heart of an original Mickey Mouse there work for us thank you so much for bringing along the first nicob 1936 Mickey Mouse doll that I’ve seen so how did this beautiful lady come into

Your possession well it was always on my mother’s mantle piece and I believe they used to travel around Europe a little bit and I think about 40 to 50 years ago it just arrived when I was sort of teenager something like that and it always sat on the mantle Bas my stock

And trade for 20 years was Art Deco and I sold many figurines but it didn’t come across that many in this good condition it would have been a fairly expensive item in the 1920s maybe 1930s when it was sold let’s have a look at it it’s Onyx base of two different

Pieces we have a coal paint and bronze and I love the different colors of the shoes and I love the fan it’s like mother Appel it has been applied over the bronze and you can just see how it reflects I’ve got actually a little Spotlight at home which not on it

All the time but just occasionally it lights up the mantle piece and the coloring is super it’s never been cleaned as far as I know in its life it’s never been washed or anything if I was buying it I want to see it like that

I don’t want to see it over cleaned and over stored maybe just a little light cloth on it but she’s in fantastic condition I don’t think you really need to worry and she’s what now coming up 100 nearly 100 years old I mean can you believe that is 100 years old it looks

So fresh and modern in today’s terms there’s varying sizes of this particular style by Joseph Lorenzo we smaller ones and then we’re going in the big ones but this is probably a medium siiz piece strangely enough for me they seem to fluctuate like property prices and I remember these when I first

Started dealing an article with something like standard 3 3 400 but now this piece is £22,000 worth right thank you very much for bringing it in it’s brought back a few of my memories what brought me into the job well I’ve learned a bit more about her

As well thanks very much for that thank you thank you we have three tennis rackets in front of us Raj you brought these along and we have to rank them in order of value so basic better best wouldn’t have a clue how to begin how to do this Raj well are

You a tennis player the owner no I’d love to be but sadly I never learned it’s actually the sixth most popular sport in the whole world so it’s a very very popular sport and of course because of that it’s become highly collectible and here we’ve got three rackets that

Represent that so tell us about each one well the first one nearest you is a what we call a flat top racket it’s double stringed it’s got this lovely bulbous handle as well and it was made in maub in sacot in the Punjab and it’s dated around

1886 okay okay the second one is an all aluminium racket it’s about 1920 and it’s made by the Birmingham aluminium Casting Company and this was the first time in the 1920 s that they started wrapping the handles with leather and cord and this is the original leather

And cord from those days when I started play I mean i’ play a little bit but I just never had lessons that’s what my racket looked like well a lot of people will recognize this kind of Racket it’s made in Ash because Ash is very malleable this one is a Slazenger racket

Another British Racket and it’s signed in the middle by Fred Perry Oh okay now some look you see at at last we might not know about tennis but we’ve heard of Fred exactly and this was actually his racket Fred Perry was actually the last Englishman to win Wimbledon he won it in

1934 1935 and 1936 so these are our three rackets and did Fred Perry actually play with that rackets yes he did so first of all what are the three values we’re talking about okay value-wise we’re talking about one is worth £1,000 one is worth £4,000 and one is worth £4,000

It’s like being in the Panton and and I mean the obvious thing to go for is the Fred Perry racket so what should we be thinking about when trying to assess the value of these well I mean when you’re assessing tennis rackets it’s you know

How old they are who own them but you’re looking at unusual shapes one-offs right come on give me some help here what do you think um I think the one on the left is the most expensive because it’s the oldest not swayed by the Fred Perry connection at no I think

That might be the second second right he’s too young he’s too young yeah too young oh my goodness what about you what do you think um I think the one on the left is the most valuable so the one from India yes yeah and what makes you

Go for that um I think just because it’s the oldest and I don’t know it might be quite rare because of its age okay o I don’t know what do you think any ideas yeah I think the Fred Perry one really well I think the Fred Perry one has to

Be the best one so you’re shaking your head why I just think we’re being drawn to the other two and the middle one’s being ignored so I’d go for the one that’s least obvious okay right you set us quite a challenge haven’t you I mean I mean I have no idea

And so far I’ve got a different option from pretty much every single person okay I’m going to say basic better best okay not quite not quite you got one right oh okay this is the basic one right okay and so why is that there were a lot of the m

Uh and when it comes to the other two the history behind the other two is much more important this is the second most valuable the Fred Perry one okay and the most expensive one is the Indian one so some of you were absolutely right and the reason for that there is a reason

For that is that uh an Indian gentleman who lived in India and he was playing tennis uh this is at the end of the 19th century and he broke his racket and he sent back to England for another racket but it just didn’t arrive in time

So he took the racket to a local Tradesman and he said is there any chance that you can fix it and the Indian Tradesman did such a good job that from there a trade was born so this is possibly the oldest racket ever made in India now you see if we’d known all

This might have affected my view so a th000 yep 4,000 14,000 so this is a very rare Survivor this is a very rare tennis racket indeed well done Raj might get it right next time I’m sure you will [Applause] Fiona well I’m looking at a pile of newspaper

Cuttings and a photograph of a little girl now who’s that little girl that’s me two years old well all I can say is not much has changeed oh thank you anyway why are you here and what were you doing when you were two well I was

On holiday in the south of France with my parents and we got on a plane to come home and on the plane was Winston Churchill who was a prime minister at the time so when are we talking 1953 I think being a 2-year-old I was running

Up and down the plane and there was a spare seat next to him so of course I went and chatted to him and he was having a lovely conversation with me he’d give me some sweets and biscuits and whatever and then he gave me a cigar

Wrapper which is here which is there and you remember all that I don’t actually the only thing I remember is from the Press cuttings so you don’t remember the I don’t remember doing it I wish I did yes and then what happens next well then when we landed apparently the Press had

Got hold of the story and they were there taking pictures so that’s a press picture is that your dad yes that’s my dad yeah very proud dad and they wrote about the whole story small girl makes a new friend no other than Sir Winston yeah headline news somebody on the plane

Must have phoned ahead saying we’ve got this great story must have done yeah how else I think it’s amazing it must have been your family who sort of realized that this was an important moment yeah my dad did yeah he definitely knew he spoke to the press as well I think he

Gave an interview about it all yeah so you’ve had to live with this all your life yes I’ve loved it yes loved it well here you are telling it to Millions more well anything to do with Churchill has a price he seemed to have scattered cigar BTS around the world and they do

Appear and they do sell and therefore that its own the rapper with your story to a fanatical Churchill collector of which there are many is probably a couple of hundred pound wow simply because the story is so great and we know it had to come from him it’s all

About provenance but that to me isn’t it I mean what we’ve got here is a fantastic piece of unexpected history thank you very much thank you if you went to a grocer shop in the late 19th century to buy your loose leaf tea this is the type of tin that would

Have been served out of tell me where did you get it so this belongs to my husband’s mom and I believe it’s been in the family for a few Generations so it was his grandmother’s grandmothers and it’s just always been in The Farmhouse well as I said it’s a tea tin for maati

Tea they started in the 1850s and by the 1900s they were the largest Tea Company in the world they didn’t produced their own tea but they bought it from plantations in places like Salon which is now modern day Sri Lanka and India was bought from all over the world and

It was imported but they were a British company but they really understood the power of advertising they actually adverti the tea on the sides of carriages which actually were pulled around London by zebras oh wow so can you imagine sort of zebras pulling sort of an advertising truck essentially

Around the Streets of London advertising maati te wow this is actually one of their most iconic advertising images and of course you’ve got sort of the grandmother and the granddaughter here drinking tea with the title Old Folks at home yeah what they do they drink tea now these are really really

Collectible you know tins generally is quite a collectible genre but people really like these very big display tins that would basically would been parts of large grocery shops and they’re even sort of specialist auctions for this type of thing but I absolutely love it and if it were in an auction it would

Probably sell from the region of200 to £300 oh that’s good yeah I’m delighted to see it thank you increasingly on the roacho our visitors are bringing along stunning items of clothing by some of Britain’s top fashion designers it’s got to be the late great Vivian Westwood it is and here in leads

Two stylish dresses have caught the eye of suie Yang wow look at this pair of beautiful dresses can you tell me a little bit about them the dresses by Aussie Clark I was at college with Aussie he was couple of years ahead of me it so happened that

I was standard size and so I modeled for him not these I loved his clothes he was brilliant patent cutter and he understood what looked good on women and how did you come to to collect these pieces and have you worn them yes I did used to wear them when I was

Slightly smaller than I am now and uh my daughter over there she wore them as well but I actually bought them at I suppose it was an upmarket jumble sale probably very early’ 70s 7172 and how much did you pay for them I have no idea no idea at all it wouldn’t

Have been a lot oie clar is a legendary British designer yes that really changed how people dress up in the swing 60s as you said he’s a brilliant cutter with this shape that’s often very flowy and very comfortable to wear the material is sort of rayon Crepes that flows really

Beautifully sometimes referred to as Moss crepe and it just looks good on women with any shape with cinched in waist and flowy bottom and as you can see that there are some beautiful stylized pointed colars and that’s quite often seen on his work and the one on

The right has a really interesting print do you know anything about this print the print is by Celia bertwell yeah they were a creative Duo that’s romantic linked and they they were married for a few years and this pattern is called Step by Step it has a geometric shape

That she is sometimes inspired by artists like M so a dress that has both of their creative input is highly collectible this is probably worth around £500 or more really and this one with the pointed collar would have a value around £300 so both together they would easily fetch 700 to 900 at

Auction well I’m amazed absolutely amazed I’ve never really thought about the value but I just like looking at them I really like this this one especially I would take it home with me if I could I know I might try and squeeze into it when I get

Back it’s a lovely piece of History isn’t it thank [Applause] you well this looks like an amazing scrapbook on the football of Bert Williams is that correct it is indeed yes Bert played for wolves and England um I first met him in 2007 and I got to know him really well

This book is put together by his wife eving it details the life of a very young footballer that goes into the War years there are numerous autographs from some pretty famous names of football from Stanley Matthews Matt Busby all sorts of people now from my era goalkeepers who had a nickname like the

Cat yes was Peter benetti I don’t remember any others but was the original cat he was he was nicknamed the cat as a result of he played edby skin against Italy in one of the games and they called him IL Gaton and so how did you

Acquire it it went up for auction in 2013 my brother and I we just had to buy it so you had a nice close association with him I mean I used to go to his house I mean he was one of the greats played for England roughly 24 25 24 plus there were

War games that weren’t class I think it was 28 but the other four aren’t actually accepted as being official CS he also got awarded the MBE didn’t he he did indeed he did indeed for his services to footb and charity yes his wife eveling I think she died of

Alzheimer’s and he raised her a lot of money for charity and uh as a result he deservedly got an MBA I mean do you have any idea what the value of this might be I bought it because I love the book uh I’m not really interested in the money

If this was to come into auction H and it was let’s say outside of the Wolves area okay because I would hope this would go to somebody a supporter of wolves or or the club itself I think it would be estimated somewhere between 12 to ,500 yes okay today that’s that’s what I

I think thank you for bringing it in thank you been a pleasure thank [Applause] you our home for the day round hey park has long been a special place for the people of Yorkshire and one of them Joanne Harris bestselling author of the novel Shola has joined us to share her local

Memories and show me a much cherished family antique John it’s lovely to meet you big fanet your books thank you and round hey Park is some you used to come as a child yes my grandfather used to bring me here and I taught at Le’s grammar school that was

At the time just across the mo here of course yes because you were a teacher before you were a writer I was for 15 years and then hit huge Fame with your novel Shaka yes unexpectedly yes so many people have read the book Shaka for the

Few that haven’t just remind us of the plot oh it’s a story about a woman with an Immaculate sense of timing who moves into a chocolate shop in rural France in just the right place right opposite the church where there is a quite auster Catholic priest in charge

And she genuinely thinks that’s not going to cause trouble and in shakla you drew upon your own history quite a lot your half French half British yes a lot of it was Nostalgia about my family and particularly my great-grandmother who was a character in the book and later

The film so that was Armand it was yes arand who is crabby and tough and very like my great-grandmother who I just remember she died when I was four but she was the matriarch of the family and the statue they brought along is is that connected to your great-grandmother it

Was hers I think it was also her mother’s it’s a piece of Camp Pottery campel being a town in Britney yes it was the one nice thing that she owned and I remember it on her mantlepiece in her house and and now it’s on my mantle

Piece in my house it’s a Catholic piece even though my great-grandmother wasn’t was n a very devout Catholic she was quite a bad Catholic actually she didn’t get on very well with her Parish priest and pranked him all the time in fact she dressed up as the Virgin Mary at one

Point when he a character when he was coming out late from the pub and he thought he’d seen an actual Apparition um and it caused a scandal but you she obviously cared for this piece very much and presumably now important to you very much so yes it watched me as I wrote

Chaka and watched you many novel since of course as well absolutely and now I’m writing the prequel to shakat and so she will sit there and watch me there too and when you sit down and you write your books where do you begin how do you find your inspiration everywhere really uh

Very often it’s ideas that rattle around in my head with no connection and then eventually they start to make connections but sometimes it’s an event a person’s voice sometimes it’s something in the news lovely to meet you Joanne thank you so much so here we see in front of us a

Program some boxing gloves and a poster not any old poster a bit of history from one of the most important bouts in boxing history Joe Frasier Muhammad Ali both undefeated World Heavyweight Champions so how did these come into your possession cuz I was there so you witnessed this big boat yes and of

Course this was the comeback the Ali comeback wasn’t he he’d only had two three fights before this one on the comeback Trail were you ringside the $150 seats no where were you there me 20 up in the gods the three astronauts from the moon were there Sonata was official

Photographer it was like a fashion show and that was just the guys yeah yeah yeah right yeah but you haven’t asked me the one crucial question on how much did it cost me well your $20 seat in the mezanine but it must have cost you a few

BD on the plan Fair mustn’t it no 1971 5 Days hotel five breakfasts 125 quid that’s good value isn’t it we’ve got a pair of gloves here they are souvenir gloves so this is how you got the signatures yes that is Muhammad Ali that is taken in the 80s they’re not

Very good signatures now for the simple fact I didn’t have a permanent pen at the time who’s this onome fell here oh well that might be me because that’s Tien at the top of the Empire State Building good Providence that well of course Ali lost the match but didn’t had

A rematch a bit was that 7 74 and of course Alli won and that was his comeback well that was the start of his comeback but it wasn’t the real thing until he fought George Foreman we’ve got one last small glove here the name is

Tony gento I met him in Dempsey’s bar if you saw a photograph of him his belly was bigger than his chest and his nickname name was 2 Ton Tony gento but he signed that so about value have you ever been offered any money for the gloves I think about 500 but I would

Think more but I don’t know that’s your job that’s your expertise and it’s a hard one because where are you going to find a pair of gloves signed by all these people and this sort of archive Provence by the man who was there that makes the story that makes it more

Special for the gloves we’re going to start at ,000 but I don’t know where it would end up you could get two boxing fans all the history behind it it could carry on and on and on and I think the rest of this small archive I think we put 1 to

2,000 so about 3,000 just here if you were ever to sell it I don’t think I would well do you know what for me today it’s great to meet somebody who was there bringing a bit of History to life and thank you ever so much for coming in

And tell than you story thank you so in round park there’s a lovely large lake it looks a bit chilly today for me for a swim I have to say this gentleman here was obviously Made of Stone of stuff tell me who was he well this is my father he was an English

School boy and new Yorkshire Champion that swimming he swam in a a commemorative race for the coronation in the big lake just down here okay well yeah n the 1937 coronation obviously it had to be because George I 6 wasn’t actually ever expected to become king and it’s only because uh his brother

Edward abdicated that he then became king and so they suddenly had to um it all had to be organized in something of a of a rush basically but there was you know it was a huge celebration and you know and there was games and competitions all over the country and

This as we see it says the coronation cup I like the way it says that it’s open to all yorkman so you have to you have to be a yorkman to actually to enter so you what a got a program here for the open air bathing pool yeah that

Was on the same day I think as far as I know big thing in the 1930s wasn’t it of open iOS of course they’ve all you know they’ve all pretty much disappeared nowly this is a fantastic photograph of you really proudly displaying all his medals and cups and the old 1930s

Swimming costume made of wool exactly probably so when you got in the water and it got wet probably it went all baggy so how old was he in this photograph pre- winning the cup and and preway won lots of Cups and he played water polo for England really um and would have

Gone to the Olympics but for the war did he carry on swimming after this no cuz he got injured in the war so you obviously had great promise and he he did yeah for so many people I guess the war took things away from them well it’s

A silver cup made in Sheffield so it’s relatively local sort of South Yorkshire cup and it’s typical very sort of Art Deco in style so would have been very typical of silver trophy cups that were were being made at the time and obviously given out as presented as as

Prizes I’m sure he was very proud to have won this oh I’m proud to bring it today as well pricewise it would be3 or 400 but I’m sure it’s invaluable to you given yeah it is the The Blood Sweat and Tears that went into winning that as

Well yes absolutely it’s been lovely to see it and a great memory of your dad so thank you for sh it thank you in recent years we’ve began to see more and more TV memorabilia from our much missed expert Judith miline basil the rat from Faulty Towers quite simply

The most famous rodent on British television toell boy’s car from Only Fools and Horses what a mean green machine and here in leads a script from the much loved sitcom Dad’s Army has caught cly farrar’s eye I can’t believe that I’m actually handling the original script from one of dad’s Army’s programs this

Is all in handwriting this is David Croft presumably who wrote it yes well tell me all about it well I acquired it back in the mid90s I had a work placement at the BBC attached to the comedy Department did the week with David croft’s office wrote to David to

Thank him and afterwards he he sent me that as a he sent you a thank you at the time I was thinking maybe you’re going into script writing what is it called Sergeant saved my boy Sergeant saved my boy here it all is all his third first

Thoughts yes um that was the thing that I was really amazed at this is quarrying at the cold face this is where all the thoughts lie where everything is tied up where it’s tremendous and he sends you a wonderful letter here which you’ve also included thank you for your letter I’m

Enclosing a manuscript of a Dad’s Army program unfortunately the first page is missing yes clumsy clumsy but it is the manuscript of Sergeant save my boy which you said which went out a couple of weeks ago and the original is in my own bad handwriting well I can’t read it I

Can write better than this but in trying to keep up with my thoughts legit ability goes out of the window which I think is absolutely wonderful because this is the whole thing yeah including all the catch rages stupid boy oh we got one here yeah oh it’s Pike here we are

I’m caught in the wire and I’ve hurt my leg and then the stupid boy it’s all there isn’t it I’d now work in TV but not not in script writing but it did um inspire me that week to to go down go into the industry there these pieces of

Paper are probably terribly rare I can’t imagine that there are any more around really these would all be typed up and all the actors would have a copy they’d all make their own notes on it and all that sort of thing whereas this the original nugget from which the whole

Thing came was just completely discarded give it to somebody who popped in for a week or so work experience and all that sort is amazing absolutely amazing well I suppose I got to Value it which is the most difficult thing because I don’t think I’ve got anything to compare it

With I would say you have something between five and 10,000 which which sounds like a lot of money but when you think when you think how rare how rare these scripts can possibly be this which I think is the most golden piece of Dad’s Army this is

Where the heart of Dad’s Army is so congratulations wow we’ve seen a lot of sporting Treasures here at Round ha Park from boxing gloves to trophies so in the spirit of competition we thought we’d end the show with a race to the finish the summer cycling season is

Underway here and this trophy first presented in 1937 is up for grabs at the West riding track league so come on right you ready yeah on your marks get set go for the Antiques Road Show team bye-bye remember that early Mickey Mouse all well he’s back in Prime position in his Disney themed

Home and those naski paintings so we’ve got both of our Philip naasu pictures back on the wall in the space where his Art Studio used to Be if you like a nice comfy layout we’re off to get the best carpet in inside the factory in an all brand new episode over on two now next on one always given a helping hand when the going gets tough in a midwife well I’m looking at a pile of

Newspaper cuttings and a photograph of a little girl now who’s that little girl that’s me two years old well all I can say is not much has changed oh thank you anyway why are you here and what were you doing when you were two well I was

On holiday in the south of France with my parents and we got on a plane to come home and on the plane was Winston Churchill who was a prime minister at the time so when are we talking 1953 I think being a 2-year-old I was running

Up and down the plane and there was a spare seat next to him so of course I went and chatted to him and he was having a lovely conversation with me he’d give me some sweets And Day me me For This was an important Mo yeah my dad did yeah he definitely knew he spoke to the press as well I think he gave an interview about it all yeah so you’ve had to live with this all your life yes I’ve loved it yes loved it well here you are telling it to Millions

More well anything to do with Churchill has a price he seemed to have scattered cigar BTS around the world they do appear and they do sell and therefore that its own the rapper with your story to a fanatical Churchill collector of which there are many is probably a

Couple of hundred pounds W simply because the story is so great and we know it had to come from him it’s all about provenance but that to me isn’t it I mean what we’ve got here is a fantastic piece of unexpected history thank you very much thank you

If you went to a grosser shop in the late 19th century to buy your loose leaf tea this is the type of tin that would have been served out of tell me where did you get it so this belongs to my husband’s mom and I believe it’s been in

The family for a few Generations so it was his grandmother’s grandmother’s and it’s just always been in The Farmhouse well as I said it’s a e in for maati tea they started in the 1850s and by the 1900s they were the largest Tea Company in the world they

Didn’t actually produce their own tea but they bought it from plantations in places like Salon which is now modern day Sri Lanka and India it was bought from all over the world and it was imported but they were a British company but they really understood the power of advertising they actually advertised the

Tea on the sides of carriages which actually were pulled around London by zebras oh wow so can you imagine sort of zebras pulling sort of an advertising truck essentially around the Streets of London advertising maati tea wow this is actually one of their most iconic advertising images and of course you’ve

Got sort of the grandmother and the granddaughter here are drinking tea with the title Old Folks at home yeah what they do they drink tea now these are really really collectible you know tins generally is quite a collectible LA but people really like these very big display tins that

Would basically would have been parts of large grocery shops and they’re even sort of specialist auctions for this type of thing but I absolutely love it and if it were in an auction it would probably sell from the region of 2 to30 oh that’s good yeah I’m delighted to see it thank

You increasingly on the road show our visitors are bringing along stunning items of clothing by some of Britain’s top fashion designers it’s got to be the late great Vivian Westwood it is and here in leads two stylish dresses have caught the eye of suie Yang wow look at this pair of beautiful

How people dress up in The Swinging 60s as you said he’s a brilliant cutter with this shape that’s often very flowy and very comfortable to wear the material is sort of rayon crate that flows really beautifully sometimes referred to as Moss crepe and it just looks good on women with any shape with

Cinched in waist and flowy bottom and as you can see that there are some beautiful stylized pointed colors and that’s quite often seen on his work and the one [Applause] Pap It would easily fetch 700 to 900 at auction well I’m amazed absolutely amazed I’ve never really thought about the value but I just like looking at them I really like this this one especially I would take it home with me if I could I know I might try and

Squeeze into it when I get back it’s a lovely piece of History isn’t it thank [Applause] you well this looks like an amazing scrapbook on the footballer Bert Williams is that correct it is indeed yes Bert played for wolves and England um I first met him in
