He said: “There’s a fantastic array of antiques and modern collectables in Skegness.

“Many people move to the area and realise they don’t need so much stuff - and that is when they call us.

“One of the most interesting finds in Skegness was a horse racing trophy dated late 19C with Indian connections which was valued at £600. It was a massive surprise for the owner because it had been at the bottom of a box for 10 years.”

The Valuation Day takes place from 10am to 4pm. Residents will have the option to send a valued item to auction.
