Bargain Hunt and Antiques Road Trip TV personality Charles Hanson launches auction office at Southwell’s Memory Lane Antiques
TV personality and antiques expert Charles Hanson has launched an auction office in a historical Nottinghamshire town.
Charles, owner of Hansons Auctioneers, has opened a Valuation and Consignment Centre at Memory Lane Antiques in Queen Street, Southwell.
Memory Lane Antiques is owned by Carol Morrell and David Cookman, who can assess antiques and arrange auction consignments and home visits in Southwell and beyond, supported by Charles.
The popular face from TV’s Bargain Hunt and Antiques Road Trip will visit the venue once a month, starting on Thursday October 5, to advise clients and offer valuations.
Charles said: “Southwell is a wonderful market town within a region of Nottinghamshire which is steeped in historical importance. This area has yielded some exceptional antique finds and we hope to discover many more.
“This joint venture between Hansons Auctioneers and Valuers and Memory Lane Antiques presents a perfect opportunity for us to advise clients, provide valuations and offer sales opportunities to people throughout Nottinghamshire.
“We’re pleased to be working with Carol and Dave. This collaboration brings Hansons’ full range of services to Southwell. These include house clearances and downsizing services, free home visits to assess large collections and the valuation and sale of all types of antiques and collectables including ceramics, furniture, clocks and jewellery.
“We would like to take this opportunity to invite anyone considering selling at auction to pop into our Southwell office.”
Antique valuations, by appointment, are available at Memory Lane Antiques on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, from 10am to 4pm.
Appointments with Charles will be available on the first Thursday of each month, from 10am to 1pm.
Charles said: “Clients can also drop small items into Memory Lane Antiques for assessment by Hansons’ specialist valuers. We have a large team of consultants to draw on including Eric Knowles, a popular heavyweight from the antiques world and familiar face from TV.
“Hansons’ broad range of experts have a thorough knowledge of all types of antiques and collectables including jewellery, coins, militaria, books, toys, ceramics, stamps, wine and whisky, Decorative Arts, period fashion and much more.”
