The Repair Shop: World War II - Heartwarming restorations that tell the story of the War

Enter the beloved Repair Shop barn, filled with expert craftspeople, as they bring loved childhood treasures - and the memories they hold - back to life. Featuring photography from across all 13 series of the much-loved British show - as well as shots taken especially for this book - The Repair Shop: Childhood Treasures showcases many childhood objects the show experts have rescued. From a toy tractor which holds memories of a farmer father, to a 1960s scooter which longs to be used again to create new memories for generations to come, these are repairs and stories guaranteed to delight. With contributions from Repair Shop favourites - including Steve and Susie Fletcher, Will Kirk, The Teddy Bear Ladies and Jay Blades himself - the book offers insider insight into the skills that go into the repairs, and the unique perspective of the people who do them. Step inside the workshop of dreams, and experience the love, care and skill that goes into treasuring and restoring the most precious objects, heirlooms and toys.
