There are an estimated 100,000 items in stock, which is continuously being added to. Paul at Tunnel Furniture Company revealed a long and unusual item. He said: “Everyone in Liverpool needs an artificial leg for £40. They make great lamps and they look gorgeous sat in the middle of the room.”

In the World of Stuff antique shop in Horsforth, co-owner Adam showed us a one-of-a-kind book. He said: “This is Ducatus Leodiensis, the topography of Leeds from 1816 which is a reprint of Ralph Thoresby’s entire history of Leeds and surrounding areas. The only other copy I’ve seen in anything like this condition is currently in Leeds Museum.”

In Clifton village, we visited Rachel and Michael’s Antiques, where owner Rachel showed us an unusual magazine. “This magazine, is a women’s magazine from 1947. It’s part of a collection that my father bought a few years ago. He went into a lady’s house, and she’d bought every magazine for about 30 years. (..) There were piles from say the late 1930’s to 1960’s of women’s magazines.”
