The first item to arrive at the barn is a painting depicting the city of Beirut, in Lebanon. It was painted by Nonny Jackson-Twist's grandfather, just after the second world war. Her grandfather was stationed in the Middle East and, due to an injury, spent many months recovering in Lebanon. He painted the view from his window looking out over the city and mountains behind, when he returned home the painting came with him. Nonny has fond memories of his time with his grandfather, who would share the few happy memoires of his time in serving his country. Nonny would very much like to hang the painting in his home but it's in no fit state. The painting is faded, the canvas cracked and in some sections the paint is flaking away. Fine art conservator, Lucia Scalisi is only too happy to take on this monumental task.
Silversmith Brenton West meets Lisa Sachs and hears the dramatic story that accompanies a pair of silver Shabbat candlesticks. They originally belonged to Lisa's Jewish grandparents and were used every Friday night to welcome in the Sabbath. During the Blitz her grandparents' home was bombed and the candlesticks were one of the very few possessions to survive, which meant they were treasured even more so by the couple. However, they did not escape unscathed, and Lisa would like Brenton to repair the bent, tarnished metal so that she might use them each week with her family, in memory of her grandparents.
And Bev Smith and her daughter Georgie bring in a practical mechanical gadget for Dom Chinea to assess. The 1950's car jack came in very useful at the caravan park that Bev's family owned. Bev has many happy memoires growing up there and remembers helping her father as he moved and maintained the caravans. He'd pull her round on the jack and operate it, lifting her up and down. There's not much life in the old work horse now – it's broken, rusty and its cheery red colour has faded away. Bev would love to have it reconditioned so that they can display it, which is where Dom comes in to save the day!
