Over 180 lots to include a broad selection, from early antiquarian books to modern first editions, alongside illustrations, private press, manuscripts, maps and atlases, early photographs, and historic documents.

Of North-East interest is a collection of approximately 240 19th and early 20th century photographs, and an outstanding archive of early drawings and plans relating to Radcliffe and Broomhill Collieries.
