Today in the Repair Shop, Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.

Furniture restorer William Kirk takes on a cherished family rocking horse that is in desperate need of some TLC. The paint work and plaster is flaking away and the leather work is tattered and torn, but saddler maker Suzie Fletcher is on hand. Together they do a beautiful job and return the rocking horse to the delight of the family.

Ceramics conservator Kirsten Ramsay works wonders on a Royal Doulton plaque. The plaque was broken in two during a house move 57 years ago and has remained hidden in a drawer ever since. It is a tricky fix but Kirsten does the owner proud and the plaque can
once again be displayed with the others from the trio. And resident antique photography expert Brenton West is very pleased to be working on a Victorian stereoscopic viewer. These were a popular form of entertainment for Victorians and make images appear in 3D for the viewer.
