Does anyone know anywhere that can re-stitch a Lycette saddle - the stitching has come apart on the seam and the nose. It's otherwise in good nick so be nice to restore it:

Nope. I'd be phoning around any local places that can repair horse saddles to see if they fancied a fiddly job, else trying to do it myself (gulp) or more likely sell it as a restoration job.

The whole bike is a bit of a 'project' - its a really old Humber with a lovely twin fork and the quadrant shaped SA lever on the top tube - it belonged to an elderly gentleman who had to give up riding at the age of 87 having had the bike from his teens.

could try asking your local cobbler.

My great-grandfather and my grandfather definitely would have done repairs like this, so definitely try (traditional) cobblers.
If no joy, you can try a diy re-cover of your saddle.

An upholsterer or saddle maker could fix it.

But to far for my idea then, try a local upholsterer, it will be a doddle for one of them.
