VALUABLES went under the hammer at Mansion House as an episode of Celebrity Antiques Road Trip was filmed at the location.
Former Brookside stars Ricky Tomlinson and Michael Starke were at the venue on Sunday to film the episode of the BBC programme, along with experts and crew members.
The shows sees celebrities paired with an antiques expert and go head to head to try and make the most profit from their purchases.
Royle Family star Ricky, who played Bobby Grant in the Liverpool-based soap went up against former co-star Michael, who played Sinbad in Brookside and is also known for playing Ken in Hearbeat spin-off The Royal.
Antiques specialists Margie Cooper and Catherine Southon joined the actors at Mansion House to film the episode.
Sitting on Cowley Hill, the Mansion House is steeped in history, and was built around 1849 by the late gentleman solicitor John Ansdell, becoming one of the town's iconic buildings with Age UK Mid Mersey now based at the venue.
Age UK Mid Mersey corporate director Ian Waites got to mingle with the stars and have his photograph taken with them on the day.
Details of the antiques to feature in the show are being kept under wraps with the episode set to be broadcast in the autumn.
