Paul Gossage, from the Ironbridge Gorge Muse-um, said: “Working with the crew from the Antiques Roadshow was a great experience and a real privilege.

“It took over two years of planning to ensure that everything was perfect on the day. The sun came out and we welcomed about 1,500 people keen to either have a treasured object valued or to watch the show being made.

“The whole operation was run to perfection by a vast team of producers, directors, camera and sound men, not to mention the antique experts themselves and Fiona Bruce, who was charming to everyone.”
