Many of you will be familiar with the weekday programme on BBC1 - Antiques Road Trip, where Antiques experts set off on a road trip around the UK searching for treasures and competing to make the most money at auction.
Well this week new boy Angus Ashworth & regular David Harper have been around & about northern England & yesterday they ended up in Bolsover with Matt at Odds & Sods Reclamation.
Following, the usual format of the programme, the pair had a good 'rummage around' & selected a couple of items to take on to the the auction in Harrogate.
But, here is where for us at Old Bolsover Yard (OBY), the real excitement started, because in one segment of the visit, front & centre of the background shot was a set of industrial bellows.
Not just any old bellows though - oh no! - these bellows are now proudly part of Old Bolsover Yard. Yep, we bought them soon after the programme had been filmed, and we were looking for 'bits & pieces' for OBY, and unbeknownst to us they were to become a set of 'As seen on the Antiques Road Trip' bellows.
So, now you all have another reason to visit us at Old Bolsover Yard to 'worship' at the foot of the bellows that featured on The Antiques Road Trip. You can stand next to them & have your photo taken with them. You can put the picture in the family album for future generations to see. We might even get a 'blue plaque' erected alongside them!!
Yes, you are right, here at Old Bolsover Yard we never miss an opportunity to promote ourselves & Bolsover too.

Oh, and since the programme was recorded Matt & his team have moved into bigger premises, so the show was obviously good for them too!!
