AN antiques valuation day raised more than £600 for charity.

A team of specialists from Bonhams Auctioneers valued items at the event, at Walworth Castle Hotel, near Darlington, on Wednesday, in exchange for a donation to the Butterwick Hospice.

A Bonhams spokeswoman said: "It was a highly successful day. About 160 people came along and had all kinds of items valued."
