00:00 So I'm here at Clackheaton Antiques which has just been opened in Clackheaton and we're
00:07 going to take a look around and we're going to speak first of all with the owner Barry
00:15 Naylor.
00:16 Barry pleased to meet you.
00:17 Pleased to meet you.
00:18 First of all Barry where did your love of antiques stem from?
00:21 From being a child I think.
00:23 Watching stuff with my grandparents and things like that.
00:26 My grandmothers used to like old things and it just came from there and I've always done
00:31 it all my life even if it's part time.
00:35 And what brings you to Clackheaton?
00:38 I just like the town.
00:39 I like the place.
00:40 I like the people.
00:41 I was born in Wake but spent most of my life in Bradford which is horrible now.
00:49 But Clackheaton is a lovely little place.
00:52 Vibrant little shops, nice people, everybody's friendly.
00:57 So yeah, of course I like eating people, it's lovely.
01:01 And over the years you've established yourself in the industry.
01:05 Talk to me about your kind of TV stardom.
01:08 I don't do stardom.
01:11 I used to be, what do you call it, I'm a dealer basically.
01:15 I'm an antiques dealer.
01:17 And back in the day when we'd come and plug it and antiques were on show and things like
01:24 that, what you didn't see when you saw these big queues of people, but at the bottom there'd
01:28 be loads of tables with people like me sat there.
01:31 And we opened your bags, we valued your stuff and then we went like that and a producer
01:37 come over and we'd go right this is so and so, so and so, so and so, bye so and so.
01:41 And they'd go, right I'll go get an expert.
01:43 They'd come back with an expert, me and the expert and go right this is da da da da da
01:47 da, we agree on that case, let's do it.
01:49 And then the expert texts them like they've never seen it before.
01:53 And that's how TV is really basically.
01:56 But nowadays antiques are on show, you send pictures in, plug it, they stop filming you
02:01 on lockdown, I'm starting again, things like that.
02:04 So I wouldn't call myself, I'm not a celebrity, but I've got a decent reputation as an antiques
02:11 dealer.
02:12 And how have the first couple of weeks been since opening?
02:16 Brilliant, the footfall, if you're thinking of opening a shop, come and click here, there's
02:22 hardly any empty ones.
02:24 When you find one, you'll be amazed at the footfall you get.
02:27 And the paying customers if you understand me.
02:31 And the nice people, they're all, everybody's all sort of chatting a little thing, so yeah
02:36 it's really nice.
02:37 Right, so let's take a look around.
02:38 No problem.
02:39 Back room.
02:40 There's more mainly collectibles in here.
02:46 So you've got like mid-century studio pottery, West German studio pottery, carnival glass,
02:55 people collect some of those pepper pots, toast racks, people collecting, coins obviously
03:02 people collecting, Royal Dalton, things like that, all this is collectible.
03:07 And then you've got things like this, my favourite stuff.
03:10 Right, that thing.
03:12 My favourite pottery in the whole wide world.
03:15 Shelf pottery, and it was made in shelf, by a school teacher in his garage.
03:21 They used to have like Tupperware parties to sell it.
03:24 It's so tactile.
03:27 So, and it's one of those things that is just meant to be touched.
03:30 Again, not very expensive items.
03:33 And they had different phases, so he went on to do like a concept range, which is like
03:38 colours.
03:39 Well that frog comes in brown, comes in blue, comes in green, comes in red.
03:43 And they're just really nice tactile things you can wring your fingers down on.
03:47 And, again, not a million pounds, but good collectible things, and with a local interest.
03:53 Like pictures of Jonesbury.
03:58 So, which is Church Street in Jonesbury, and the town centre, and I think that's the town hall.
04:06 So, yeah.
04:08 Barry, what have you found for us there?
04:15 Right, this little autograph book.
04:17 Not major.
04:19 Not very expensive.
04:21 And it contains things like Romany off the BBC.
04:25 The Reverend G Bramble, and I mean the BBC when it was radio.
04:30 And then just carry on going through.
04:32 Edward Everett Horton, August 8th 1938.
04:37 And it says there, if you look, a clip from the paper about him being a film star and everything else.
04:42 In this book there's all sorts.
04:44 The Mills Brothers Band, Vera Lynn, Les Carew.
04:49 And we also have Joe Davis in here, who is a very, you know, Redlander snooker player.
04:56 One of the original champions.
04:58 Joe Davis.
05:01 So, things like this are not very expensive, but they're beautiful to look at, and they're a piece of history.
05:08 They're a piece of history that will never be repeated, because a lot of people have passed away.
05:12 And the fact that somebody went out and collected them, and they've probably passed away as well.
05:16 But it's still here.
05:18 People can still look at it, feel it.
05:21 I have that bit of history and a bit of connection.
05:24 That's what this place is about.
05:26 Touch it, feel it, hold it.
05:28 It's all from the past.
05:30 It's all either vintage, unique, or antique.
05:35 And they need touching, right.
05:38 They're not to watch on telly, I don't like that.
05:40 Come and touch and hold them.
05:42 Start a collection, add to your collection.
05:45 But, yeah, call in, any time.
05:48 I'd like to say, ladies and gentlemen, now, it's going, going, gone.
06:00 Sold to the gentleman in the brown shirt.
06:04 Bye bye.
