JAY BLADES and the team bring four more treasured family heirlooms — and the memories they hold — back to life. John Barnes and his daughter, Hazel, have a very precious cornet that belonged to Kath, John’s wife and Hazel’s mum, before her death last year. Kath and John met when they played in the same Cleethorpe­s band as children, and Hazel, having inherited her mother’s passion for music, hopes to play a tune or two on the cornet herself — but first, she’ll need instrument expert Pete Woods to work his magic. Paul and Sheree Walker (pictured), meanwhile, have a beloved wooden ride-on rocking motorbike that was bought by Sheree’s late dad, Bob, who had a passion for motorbikes and even once raced in the Isle of Man TT. But after years kept under a tarpaulin in the garden, the toy needs the attention of wood specialist Will Kirk if it’s to get on the move again. Plus, soft toy restorers Amanda Middleditc­h and Julie Tatchell are called on to give a new lease of life to a small but very important young monkey which belonged to Keith Jones’s partner Peter, who sadly died after catching Covid-19. Finally, book-binding expert Chris Shaw and embroidery specialist Sara Dennis are entrusted with an important historical record — an autograph book that belonged to Helen Brooke’s great aunt, Cynthia Maguire, who was a suffragett­e.
