In an enterprising move early last year dealer Lydia Wood launched an antiques trail in Ashburton, on the edge of Dartmoor in Devon. This signposts all 11 of the small town’s antiques and vintage shops and has been a boon in attracting both locals and visitors.
This year’s lockdowns have cut a swathe through these businesses but the traders are showing their innovative skills to drum up trade – including a virtual tour.
