Walthamstow Town Hall 1
The Antiques Roadshow visits Waltham Forest Town Hall, where a lively crowd reveal surprises including a Rolex that James Bond would be proud of.
The Antiques Roadshow visits Waltham Forest Town Hall in east London, where a lively crowd reveal surprises including a Rolex that James Bond would be proud of, a ring by one of the world's great jewellers and an old train ticket that is worth a little more than it originally cost.
Fiona Bruce admires the stark 1930s design of a town hall that appears more Eastern Europe than East End and the team are delighted by a stunning Art Deco plaster frieze, a bust of violin maestro Yehudi Menuhin and a Rolex Submariner watch with an intriguing connection to Britain's Special Forces.
There's also a chance to see the world's oldest hot cross bun and a portrait of a beautiful Russian princess. Specialist Andy McConnell meets a young couple who bought twelve full sets of decanters and glasses on a whim on holiday.
In this episode's Antiques Roadshow Uncovered feature, the team learn tantalising new information about a bracelet believed to have been a gift from Queen Victoria.
