Episode 45
Today, an unusual necklace telling the story of love and loss is brought back to life in time for a wedding. And a camera dating back to the 1940s is given a new lease of life for a young lady with a close connection to her grandad.
First into the barn is Sue with a costume jewellery necklace from South Asia for the attention of Richard Talman. The piece was bought by Sue's dad Victor for her mum Patricia whilst he was away with the Royal Navy during the 1950s – he would always return from his many months at seas with various gifts and trinkets. It holds great sentimental value, as this necklace would be one of the last things Victor ever bought his young wife. He contracted polio in India on his final tour of duty and died the day after his 23rd birthday. His body was unable to be returned to the UK, but this pendant was among his personal effects. It's a tough task for Richard as the jewellery is not made from the materials he usually works with. However, he's determined to make it sparkle once more, as Sue's daughter plans to wear it on her wedding day.
Next, student Nalini has brought a 1940s camera in for expert Pierro Pozella. Originally belonging to her grandfather Bernard, the camera documented his many travels as a young man. She found it in the bottom of his wardrobe whilst looking for a backpack to take travelling and was fascinated, as Nalini had always known her grandfather as a photographer, and here was his first camera. Sticky, gritty and unable to close the film door, the camera is in desperate need of attention so that Nalini can take it with her when she goes travelling in honour of her grandad.
The final visitors are mother and son Jill and Bradley with a paint spattered cap for Jayesh Vaghela. The cap belonged to husband and father Brian, who used it for all his DIY projects, including building furniture and painting. After Brian had passed away in 2018, Bradley found it, and Jill said when he put it on he looked just like his father. If Jayesh can make it stable once more, Bradley dreams of wearing it at his work as a landscape gardener so he can always keep part of his dad with him. It is a task harder than expected as Jill and Bradley want to preserve the finger dents and creases left by Brian.
