Time for a change - Shropshire clockworks reopens as antiques house
The former Shropshire home of one of the world's oldest clockmakers has been reopened as an antiques auction house by TV celebrity Christina Trevanion.
Ms Trevanion, along with fellow antiques expert Aaron Dean, has given a new lease of life to the former J B Joyce and Co factory building in Station Road, Whitchurch.
For the last couple of months they have overseen the revamp of the building, which has seen it undergo a thorough clean, repairs to the roof and improvements to the reception area.
The pair, who reopened the building on Monday, are now preparing to host their first auction on Saturday, which will start at 11am.
A number of jobs have been created as a result of the venture, including five members of viewing staff and a receptionist.
