Dyffryn Gardens 2

Fiona and the team are at Dyffryn Gardens near Cardiff, where treasures include a ship’s chest from the Empire Windrush, a clock that runs on air and a huge collection of Clarice Cliff.

Antiques Roadshow is at Dyffryn Gardens near Cardiff in south Wales. Will Farmer is thrilled to see a huge collection of Clarice Cliff
ceramics, including many rarities picked up for just a few pounds, while Hilary Kay is amused by a toy figure of a fire-breathing mother-in-law that shoots real sparks.

Alastair Chandler is intrigued by a 1960s ‘Atmos’ clock that runs on air, and Lisa Lloyd admires an ornate Welsh harp, getting to hear it played by a musician who is keeping the art alive. Hilary meets former Welsh tennis player Elizabeth James and sees some of the dresses she wore in the 1960s. Marc Allum, meanwhile, is fascinated by a ship’s travel chest stencilled with the evocative name ‘Empire Windrush’ – but how did it end up gathering dust in a barn in Wales?
