Hoard pictures to be sold

Official photographs and video clips showing footage of the Staffordshire Hoard will go on sale as part of the campaign to kept the treasure in the Midlands.

The British Museum, which is currently valuing the collection, has given Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery permission to sell official images of the treasure, as long as the cash goes into the fund to buy the hoard.

Meanwhile Premier Gordon Brown confirmed the British Museum's wish that the hoard, found on the Burntwood/Brownhills border, returns to the region in response to an inquiry by Tamworth MP Brian Jenkins yesterday.
