New Southern Venue for Railwayana Auction
Alresford, Hampshire, is to be the new venue for a twice-yearly sale of Railwayana and Transport related items. Behind the new venture is "Railwayana Auctions UK Ltd", which has been established since 2006 and which already runs the successful Stafford Railway Auctions.
The Auctions will take place at Perins School, Pound Hill, New Alresford, Hampshire SO24 9BS - a venue with adequate car parking for such an event.
The debut auction, which comes under the new title of "Mid-Hants Railwayana Auctions", will take place on Saturday April 20, 2019, the second on Saturday 26th October, 2019 for which consignments of memorabilia are now being accepted.
This new location came about due to the unfortunate and regrettable cessation of Solent Railwayana. This was run by the amiable and well-respected Nigel Maddock who sadly passed away in June 2017. Nigel's passing left Southern England devoid of a regular Auction House and it is hoped that the easily accessible Alresford (near the M3, on the A31 and, of course, the western terminus of the Mid-Hants Railway) will allow vendors and collectors a more accessible location.
Neil Booth, who founded "Railwayana Auctions UK Ltd", said: "There is no regular established Railwayana Auction House South or North in the surrounding Counties of the M4 corridor to satisfy the needs of Collectors and, indeed, the south of the country, which means that a large number of collectors and those wishing to sell memorabilia have a huge distance to travel to the North Midlands and beyond.
Mid-Hants Railwayana Auctions will be of considerable convenience to all those with an interest in collecting Railwayana, Like our Stafford auction, we will still offer a collection service, wherever the seller lives".
We are now accepting Consignments of Railwayana for the next auction on the 26th October 2019 @ "Mid-Hants Railwayana Auctions"
Commission Rates Selling or Buying are only 12% Inc VAT and will remain throughout 2019.
