Master saddler Susie Fletcher has her work cut out with a treasured leather satchel that’s been through the wars. Owner John’s grandfather bought it in a Cairo market while serving in the Second World War. The market was bombed, but the lucky soldier escaped with just a shrapnel wound. The satchel itself bears the blood stain.

Horologist Steve Fletcher brings all his expertise to the repair of a Victorian clock that is that is linked to an incredible wartime story that made national headlines. The clock has been in owner Wendy’s family for over 100 years, for most of its life sitting proudly on the mantle of her grandparents’ pub in Kent. It was in this very pub that Wendy’s grandmother became suspicious of a stranger, who turned out to be a spy! In the last few years it has become increasingly unreliable and has not chimed in decades. Steve needs to do some detective work of his own to decipher just what has gone wrong.

And silversmith Brenton works his magic on a mythical creature. The bronze sea serpent pen holder was made by owner Alan’s great-grandfather, who had a passion for making such curiosities.
