Significant visitor to Left Bank Antiques in Athlone

Brian and Mary Kelly, owners of Left Bank Antiques, having had many distinguished visitors to their shop during their 27 years in business, were delighted last week to extend a warm welcome to Robert Millar to their premises, at 15 Main Street, next door to Sean's Bar.

Robert is the proprietor of the largest antique centre in Europe, Hemswell Antique Centre, in Lincolnshire.

Mary is seen here showing Robert a very rare piece of Irish Silver incorporating 1st prize medals won for his animals at Moate Show by Lord Castlemaine of Moydrum Castle, dating back to the inception of the show in 1840.
