A Kindertransport Keepsake Box and the Story It Carries | Season 5 Episode 54 | The Repair Shop

📺 Subscribe 👉 https://bit.ly/TheRepairShopTV Today in the Repair Shop, Jay Blades and the team bring three precious heirlooms — and the powerful memories behind them — back to life. First into the barn are Rose and her sister Linda with a stunning leather keepsake box that once belonged to Rose’s late husband, Jim. A Kindertransport refugee who arrived in England as a 13-year-old in 1938, Jim treasured this box as one of the only tangible links to his family. Leather expert Suzie Fletcher carefully stabilises the split leather, restores the intricate tooling, replaces the worn lining, and makes the lid secure again — so Jim’s story can be safely carried forward. Next, Peter arrives with a 1950s tin model of Donald Campbell’s iconic Bluebird — a treasured childhood toy that sparked his lifelong love of boating and sailing. With the mechanism corroded and parts missing, Steve and Dom rebuild the motor unit, craft a brand-new propeller, and preserve the original character in the paintwork. The best part? The team test it on the water — and Bluebird glides beautifully once more. Finally, Shantel brings an antique Italian dressing table chair that came from her parents’ home, filled with memories of dance shows, make-up, and family life. After losing both parents, she wants the chair to feel “glamorous” again. Upholsterer Hannah strips it back, rebuilds the comfort, carefully revives the gilded frame, and reupholsters it in a bold velvet floral — creating a beautiful tribute ready for new memories.
