103-year-old resident opens antiques fair at our Hailsham care home

Home news

103-year-old Bowes House resident, Alice Shill, was given the honour of cutting the ribbon and declaring the antiques and collectables fair at our care home officially open on Friday (21st August).

Alongside Alice, our team at Bowes House welcomed members of the local community into the care home where local antiques expert Peter Kupfermann was on hand to offer free valuations.

Helena Barrow, home manager said: “Antiques and collectables can hold so many memories and we were incredibly impressed with the treasures people brought along. One visitor brought a selection of old coins, which included a very rare and valuable three penny piece, and another visitor brought a beautiful family music box.

“It was a really interesting day and we would like to thank everyone that visited from the local community and made the event such a success.”

An original pottery beer cask was also on display. The cask, which was donated by a member of the local community, was used by Lynn’s Brewery which now forms part of Bowes House, with the original building dating back to 1887.
