Detling 2
Charlie Ross and the teams are in Detling, Kent, where experts Stephanie Connell and John Cameron help them to find antiques which they hope will make a profit at auction.
Presenter Charlie Ross learns about small personal tokens donated by parents of children left in the care of the Foundling Hospital in London back in the 18th century. The institution went on to look after 25,000 abandoned children over the next two centuries.
The two teams have plenty of stalls to browse at an antiques fair in Detling, Kent. In red are darts players and friends Brad and Max, and in blue are married couple Mhari and Joe. Their experts are Stephanie Connell and John Cameron.
Joe’s a big fan of boxes, so his eyes light up when Mhari spots a small silver one with Mary and Joseph on the lid. And could a Winstanley pottery cat be the 'purrfect' buy? Meanwhile, Max picks up a vintage-looking sign, but keen-eyed Steph identifies it as a more recent reproduction.
There’s all to play for at the auction in nearby Cranbrook, with auctioneer Raj Bisram on the rostrum.
