Heanor 9
Natasha visits the National Tramway Museum to learn how trams delivered letters, newspapers and even milk! Experts Kate Bliss and Danny Sebastian guide the teams.
Hop on board for this episode from the National Tramway Museum, as Natasha Raskin Sharp learns how trams once helped to deliver the mail. At the cost of a penny, passengers could post a letter in a box next to the driver, which would then be delivered by parcel boys.
Can the teams deliver a profit of their own when they shop for antiques and collectibles in the town of Heanor? Danny Sebastian captains the red team, married couple Tom and Karen, as they hunt for a cat-related item. Karen spots an antique butter churn, but Tom thinks it’s seen 'butter days'!
Kate Bliss skippers the blues, friends Saira and Angela, who are on the lookout for scent bottles and small pieces of silver. But their shop proves trickier than expected! There’s a warm welcome from auctioneer Richard Winterton in Lichfield, but will the bidders rate the teams’ buys?
