Drew Pritchard Scores a Vernons Pools Clock Face for £250

Drew Pritchard launches his Liberty of London showroom, then chases rare theatre finds from Stamford to Cheshire. The deal of the day is a Vernons Pools clock face for £250. Kicking off at Liberty, Drew turns a blank fourth-floor space into a polished showroom before hitting the road. In Stamford, Lincolnshire, he explores the Corn Exchange Theatre with Mick and Roger and pulls a pair of early 1900s music stands from the orchestra pit for £140. A detour to Mick’s ironmongery stores reveals Victorian smalls by the boxful, a cartridge display with matching mirror that Drew buys for £1,250, and the scene-stealing papier-mache pantomime cow’s head the team later nicknames Buttercup for £150. Across the Mersey at Poulton Hall with Sherard Lancelin Green, a hoard of stage lights proves too battered to buy, but rare double-sided cast iron bench ends are a win at £150. Back at base in Conway, the workshop transforms the bench with new timber and paint, preps Buttercup for photos, and lines up the best smalls for Liberty. The day’s biggest scores land in Cheshire at Reclaimed World with Jeff and Gina Pearce. Drew snaps up a pair of French carved fruitwood overdoors for £700, then uncovers a complete 1920s clock face from the Vernons Pools building for just £250. Finally, after hearing “that’s a walking-away price” on a pristine set of late 19th century pendant lights, he bargains the entire lot down to £1,000. It’s classic Salvage Hunters: fast eyes, tough negotiation, and standout pieces heading straight to Liberty. #SalvageHunters #DrewPritchard #Antiques #Salvage #LibertyLondon #VernonsPools #ReclaimedWorld #PoultonHall
