This is the story of a mystery hoard of gold found inside a piano.
Piano tuner Martin Backhouse came across several tightly wrapped fabric bundles while working on an instrument that had been newly donated to Bishop’s Castle Community College in Shropshire.
Carefully opening one he discovered stacks of gold sovereigns – precious coins – dating from the turn of the 20th century.
