An online auction hosted by auctioneer and TV personality Charles Hanson has raised thousands of pounds for Derby Museums.

The sale, which took place earlier this month, raised £4,600 for Derby Museums’ Endowment Fund, which has been matched pound for pound by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, bringing the total to £9,200.
