Antiques Roadshow from the Dales
3:25pm Thursday 4th September 2008
ANTIQUITIES and heirlooms owned by people around the Dales will be seen on BBC1’s Antiques Roadshow at 8pm this Sunday.
The new series is presented by Fiona Bruce, who took over the reins from Michael Aspel in the summer.
Cameras went along to Bolton Abbey at the end of May and hundreds of people took along their treasures for the experts to identify and value.
Among them are a Faberge trinket, a lambing chair and a pair of rugby shorts from the 1946 England versus Australia test match.
