An estate agent is celebrating an incredible 175 years in business and has opened up a fascinating archive to showcase its rich history.
Bosses at Barbers Estate Agents have revealed some of the items it has collected since the business started.
In his book, the Story of Barbers, Allan Frost described how an auction was held at the Black Horse Inn at Oakengates and 'the proceedings were a success'.His next sale followed at the Bull's Head Inn, New Street, Wellington, which also proved successful and John went on to extend his services to include the sale of household goods.
"From my point of view, it's a great place to work and I have been here for more than 30 years because I really believe that." "Our team are very good at what they do and that's where, the name, to a point, goes out of the window. It's the brilliant staff we have that continue to enhance the business."And it's such a team, Richard adds, which means that, after 175 years, the company can continue to thrive.
Barbers will be holding a black tie event for staff at Christmas, to acknowledge the 175th anniversary.
