A coastal town is to feature on national television tonight.

Southwold will be featured on the third episode of the new series of Salvage Hunters on Freeview channel Quest.

The programme is the channel’s most successful show.

Puritan Values Antiques Shop was visited by host of the programme Drew Pritchard, who travels the country looking for “elusive gems and wonderful objects”.

Manager Tony Geering, who is a fan of the show, said: “I had a great time, I really, really enjoyed it. And I sold a few bits, which is always good.”

Among items, including beer barrels for a coffee table, Mr Pritchard bought a 1950s café chair and a 1950s Eames desk chair from the store.

The show will air on channel 38 tonight at 9pm.
