For those in the know, the annual Salvo Fair is an opportunity to snap up original features from salvage yards tat stay hidden away for much of the year, says Caroline Wheater.
Whatever your fancy, the annual Salvo Fair held at grand Knebworth house in Hertfordshire is a happy hunting ground for lovers of salvage, with more than 60 specialists displaying their wares, of known provenance.

There's no need to rifle through the bin of the rich and famous to get your hands on their cast offs. Members of myskip.com will be able to rummage through or dispose of items without a penny changing hands. It's a greener way to trade, as the site will create a virtual warehouse, cutting down waste and extending the life of your possessions.
Although, there is a catch: users will be informed that the likes of Boy George, Gordon Ramsey and Alan Carr have released an item into the market place but they won't know what it is. So you could receive a toaster and never be sure if it once belonged to Graham Norton.
Camden Mall wins over developers
Dealers and supporters of the antiques trade Camden Passage are celebrating after Islington Council threw out the proposals to redevelop The Mall.
Around 120 people turned up to show their support for dealers of Camden Mall. It is thought that the application to remove the individual dealers' shops at the antiques center was an attempt to convert the two floors of the Grade II listed building into a single units in order to sell the space to a multi-national chain. Dealers, customers and local residents spoke against the plans before the cross party planning committee voted unanimously against it.
Salvo Fair gets even greener!
This year Salvo Fair is aiming to off-set the carbon produced by visitors and exhibitors by planting trees in the grounds and parkland at Knebworth House. Salvo are in discussion with Knebworth at the moment. Knebworth are very keen on the idea, and have a few proposals as to where the trees could go. A preliminary calculation has estimated that between 350 and 600 trees will need to be planted depending on the type of tree, and number of visitors. If the plan fails to get off the ground for this summer, attempts will be made to get the carbon venture sorted out for next summer, with a carbon off-setting website used to ease our petrol guilt pangs in 2008.
