For almost 50 years Flambards has been one of Cornwall’s most loved visitor attraction. It was a delight for all ages, but will be most firmly etched into the happy memories of many generations of Cornish children. But rising costs and falling visitor numbers forced its closure in November last year, and now its extraordinary contents will be auctioned. The auction will encompass all 50 astonishingly detailed shops in the Victorian Village, the similarly remarkable ‘Britain in the Blitz’ installation and the surrounding War Galleries, plus all the supporting historical displays, including the full size Concorde and the Avro Shackleton cockpit.
Of particular note to BPH is the inclusion of the photographer's shop front and contents. The shop front itself is being auctioned. The photographic contents include a studio camera, signage and studio furniture.
