Upholsterer Sonnaz Nooranvary revamps a family treasure with an intriguing history. This threadbare theatre chair once played host to thousands of theatre-goers and bingo players in the auditorium of the famous Derby Hippodrome. Bought over 20 years by Jamie Woods’s parents, the theatre chair has sat in a state of disrepair and was declared unsafe for Jamie to sit on. Young Jamie coveted the chair for many years as it sat languishing in the family attic, and was always determined to see it brought back to life. But before Sonnaz can begin work on the upholstery, metalworker Dom must work his magic on the metal frame and remake the missing wooden armrest. Together, Dom and Sonnaz revive this wonderful piece of theatrical heritage, so that it can take centre stage once again.

Susan Scholes from Oldham brings a fragile locket needing the expert attention of silversmith, Brenton West. The locket is over 100 years old, and was given to Susan’s grandmother by her fiancé (Susan’s grandfather) before he set off for the trenches of the First World War. She wore it throughout the war, with photos of the two sweethearts side by side within the locket. It is a cherished symbol of Susan’s grandparents' love story, and has huge emotional resonance for her.

Unfortunately the clock hasn’t worked for years - and it turns out that Maisie holds the key as to just why it stopped functioning. Show less
