An ancient pair of shoes from the time of King William and Queen Mary of England have been uncovered in the attic of a Nottinghamshire home.

Commentating on the shoes dating from around 1690, Charles Hanson - manager of Hansons Auctioneers believes they would have been worn by a "young and quite well-off child".

He said:

The ancient shoes are expected to get worldwide interest when they go up for auction in Derbyshire on 1 June at 10.30am.
