New opening times for Richard Winterton unit at Burton Market Hall

OPENING times at Richard Winterton Auctioneers' Burton premises have been expanded due to popular demand.

The family firm opened the new unit in Burton Market Hall in October.

People can drop in between 10am and 1pm on Mondays for free valuations of jewellery and watches and from January 2023 the unit in the iconic Market Place building will also be open on Wednesdays.

Staff will be on hand from 10am-1pm to accept general consignments of items for auction and to offer advice on valuations or other services such as house clearances.

Jewellery valuer Lisa Spence had a busy morning at Burton on Monday.

"We've had a wonderful warm welcome to Burton and the team had a busy morning of valuations for our first day back after the Christmas holidays on Monday (January 9).

"Due to popular demand, we've decided to open up on Wednesdays from 10am-1pm catering for drop-off consignments and also offering the chance for people to chat over the auction process or discuss our comprehensive clearance service for all types of properties from homes, cellars, garages and sheds to shops, offices, schools and factories.

"Our first Wednesday on January 11 was really busy with enquiries for all sort items and it was lovely to see so many people.

"We're here to help, so do pop in and see us."
