John Ridgway, who runs the Old Mill Antiques Centre in Low Town, appeared on the hit Quest TV show on Wednesday night, after hosts Drew Pritchard and sidekick John 'T' Tee visited the business last year.

The show sees the pair travel across the UK searching for antiques they can buy to spin a profit and is now in its 17th series, but it the programme's first visit to the Bridgnorth Antiques Centre.

"They came to record the programme in November last year," said John. "And we managed to sell him some items, including a fireplace that we used as a display piece in the shop but had been out the back for quite a while. But we also gave him some proper bargains."
