Episode 7
It's the second leg of our whirlwind Road Trip with auctioneers Charles Hanson and Natasha Raskin Sharp. Look out Yorkshire, because the Derbyshire Dandy and the Glasgow Gal are touring the area in a 1932 Riley Monaco.
In Hartlepool, Charles wanders around a large antiques and salvage yard, finding some goodies on board a vintage double-decker bus. One of which is a rather lovely impressionistic painting. Amongst the bevvy of buys, he finds time to pause in Whitby and find out about the Victorian author Bram Stoker and just why the town proved to be the gothic playground he needed to create the world's most well-known blood-sucking vampire.
On this jaunt around the East Riding of Yorkshire, Natasha is looking for genuine antiques and manages amongst her haul of goodies to find some 17th-century Delft tiles. As a keen ornithologist, Natasha manages to visit the coastal haven of Bempton Cliffs to find out about the centuries-old practice of climming – a daredevil descent down the cliffs to find prized eggs – to discover why this pursuit is now illegal and about the man who brought about the change: a local clergyman who fought to bring about one of the first acts of wildlife conservation in the world.
Can Natasha give Charles a run for his money at the auction?
