The town is compact and parking is easy, which makes anything large straightforward. The central station and the town hall are the landmarks everyone knows.
On glassware, check the rim and the base under a light for chips and hairline cracks. This town made glass for two centuries and good pieces circulate, but damage is easy to miss in a photograph.

- Measure the length, width and height, extended and closed
Getting it ready
- Measure the top, and if it extends measure both the closed and extended lengths.
- Establish whether it is solid wood, veneer or laminate, and say which — buyers price these very differently.
