The Suffolk Pod Show

Whether you’re a collector, want to sell a treasure, or simply curious about what it takes to run an auction house, this episode brings you record-breaking sales, The Beatles and what's hot on the market right now!

Ed Crichton, Managing Partner of Lacy Scott & Knight, the leading auction centre in Suffolk, talks about the history of the business which was established 1869 in the heart of Bury St Edmunds. From its early days focused on livestock markets to becoming a respected multi-disciplinary firm of Chartered Surveyors, Property Experts, and Auctioneers – Lacy Scott & Knight has grown into a leading player in both regional and international markets.

Episode highlights include:

• The history and evolution of the business – 150+ years of Suffolk roots
• Ed’s own journey into auctioneering and how he became Managing Partner
• The wide range of items that go through their saleroom – from antique toys and militaria to fine art, watches and classic cars.
• The transition from rural livestock markets to modern auction houses
• The incredible story behind their record-breaking sale on the BBC’s Antiques Road Trip, where a rare sub-miniature camera originally bought for £60 sold at Lacy Scott & Knight for a staggering £20,000, setting a new show record.
