Louise Gostelow and David Harper hit the shops in the north west of England in their classic VW Beetle, keeping an eye out for items of interest.

Our two roadtrippers, Louise Gostelow and David Harper, embark on the north western leg of their antiques odyssey - as soon as they work out which way up the map goes. They hit the B roads in their old VW Beetle, scouring Lancashire and Cumbria for items of interest.

After David came a cropper at the last auction, courtesy of a pair of pooches, he finds another four-legged friend to fall in love with. Louise makes a furry friend of her own, but she鈥檒l have to do some extreme rummaging to unearth the all-important missing key.

Along the way, Louise gets down to work in a dairy, finding out about the man who standardised the method for making Lancashire cheese, and
David heads into the Lake District to find out why the woods around Windermere once rang with the sound of industry. Then it鈥檚 off to Cheshire for an exciting auction in Runcorn.
