Episode 14
Margie Cooper and Tim Medhurst鈥檚 camper van takes them to Lancashire. An animal-themed shopping spree sees a donkey, leopard, dog and horse head to a Derbyshire auction.
It鈥檚 the fourth leg of Margie Cooper and Tim Medhurst鈥檚 jaunt about the country in a big blue 1970s camper van. This time, silver expert Margie and auctioneer Tim are off to the seaside, starting their trip from Blackpool.
A rummage around the antiques shops of Lancashire uncovers a menagerie of treasures for Margie, as she buys a push-along donkey, a doggy nutcracker and a prancing leather horse. However, a trip to the fairground leaves Margie rather spooked as she rides the ghost train and hears the little-known story behind this much-loved attraction.
Tim goes for an eclectic mix of goodies in the hope they鈥檒l sell for a profit at the Derbyshire auction, including a harvest jug, a pipe holder and gilt bar brooch. He also makes time away from the shops to learn about one of the fathers of British astronomy.
