Flog It! star Paul Martin holds Trowbridge valuation day

The 'Flog It!' star, who lives near Melksham and is Head of Valuations at Henry Aldridge Auction Rooms, spent the day at Parade House in Trowbridge on Saturday, December 7, to look at some of the oldest and most interesting items Wiltshire has to offer.

Henry Aldridge Auction Rooms recently made national news for achieving record million-pound figures in their Titanic sale, so eager queueing residents said they hoped to find their own small fortune.

The event, which was free to enter, took place from 10.30am to 3.30pm and jewellery, silver, heirlooms, china, pictures, and furniture were all among items shown to Paul for valuation.

"Come and meet 'Flog It' TV Celebrity antiques host Paul Martin for a free valuation of your antiques, just in time for Christmas," said a spokesperson for Parade House.

"We would welcome a shout out to readers to search their attics and bring any forgotten treasures."

Ms Carter Pickard, who works at Mercy in Action in Trowbridge, is no stranger to TV antique programmes, having appeared previously on Bargain Hunt.

Although Paul has yet to ever appear on Bargain Hunt, fans can see the 65-year-old on Channel 5's The Great Auction Showdown and past episodes of BBC's Antiques Road Trip, Flog It! and Countryfile.
