Clissold Park 1

At Clissold Park in Hackney, treasures include a collection of vintage skateboards, a portrait of a young Helen Mirren, and a rare ‘parrot’ ring.

Fiona Bruce and the team visit Clissold Park in the London borough of Hackney, where treasures include some rather pricey whisky bottles and a silver ‘parrot’ ring by Mocheh Oved that brings back memories for John Benjamin.

Lisa Lloyd examines a glamorous portrait of a young Helen Mirren, and Marc Allum is thrilled to see a collection of vintage skateboards. Serhat Ahmet takes a closer look at a miniature porcelain set of heraldic figures known as the Queen’s beasts, while an original Clint Eastwood film poster proves to be a lucky find.

Ronnie Archer-Morgan is transported back to his former career as a hairdresser when he sees a pair of handmade hot combs for styling African-Caribbean hair, and Lars Tharp is intrigued by a ceramic jar that once housed a doctor’s supply of leeches.
