Free: Vocal Microphone (Walkley S6) Expired Fico Uni-directional 326 microphone. Still in its box, so I don't think it got much, if any use. I imagine it works fine, but I don't know. It has a jack plug, which is moulded on (so it would be difficult to replace with a different sort of plug). Collect from Walkley, not far from Langsett Road.

13d

Free: Thick socks (size 8 ish) (Walkley S6) Gifted 6 pairs thick socks, probably wool or wool mix. I think they are around size 8 though the pair to the very right of the picture may be a smaller size. Use as walking socks with hiking boots, or simply to keep feet and legs warm in this cold weather. Condition: used but good. I don't think they got a lot of use. Collect from Walkley, not far from Langsett Road.

17d

Free: Camp bed (Walkley S6) Gifted One folding camp bed. Reasonable condition - one spring missing where it attaches to the frame in the middle, but I don't think that will matter. Should support the weight of child/small adult. NOTE: This was new in the 1970s, so does NOT have a fire safety label. You may want to replace the mattress. Collection is from Walkley, not far from Langsett Road.

24d

Free: Fabric (for Hallowe'en costumes?) (Walkley S6) Expired Two large pieces of white lacy fabric (only one shown). Neither piece is a complete rectangle. The one shown is quite thick stretchy nylon fabric that could be used for making the inner layers of cushions or similar. It is over 2m wide and over 1.5m long at its longest. The second piece used to be a net curtain. This one is over 2.8m wide and about 2m long at its longest. Plenty of fabric to make a decent Hallowe'en costume or two. Or could be used for something else entirely! Take one or both pieces. Collection is from Walkley, not far from Langsett Road. Evening collection easiest with me.

162d

Free: Wall clock (Walkley S6) Expired Clock of the sort you hang on a wall. Approximately 22cm diameter. Found in my dad's collection of excess clocks... Dates from the 1970s or 1980s. I do not know if/how well it works because it needs a new battery (C11 size). Dad removed the second hand (but kept it) which suggests it might have worked better without it. There is a chip on the casing about the size of a fingernail, which could probably be hidden from view with some imagination. Collect by Saturday 24th August please. Collection is from the Langsett Road side of Walkley. Evening collection easiest with me.

162d

Free: Ceramic oil burner and candle holder (Walkley S6) Expired Ceramic oil burner (picture 1) - put a tea-light candle in the bottom and some essential oil in the dish on top to disperse the aroma round your room. Ceramic candle holder (picture 2) - just a nice holder for another tea-light. Take one or both items. Both have been used, so have stains from smoke and wax. Collection is from the Langsett Road side of Walkley. Collect by Saturday 24th August. Evening collection easiest with me.

162d

Free: Bar stool (Walkley S6) Gifted Old wooden bar stool. Approx 60cm high and top is 29cm diameter. It is reasonably sturdy and I have used it regularly for over 25 years.

Free: Dry Shampoo (Walkley S6) Expired Dry shampoo - for helping to style your hair when you're unable to wash it (e.g. when travelling or for health reasons). About 1/4 of a 65ml can left, judging by how it feels when I shake the can, so not worth travelling miles for. Collection is from Walkley, not far from Langsett Road. Evening collection preferred if possible.

175d

Free: Large piece net-style fabric (Walkley S6) Expired Piece of fabric (probably nylon) with lacy design.

It is NOT a complete rectangle. At its longest it is 200cm, at its widest 160cm. It is clean, and apart from a couple of small holes near one of the edges (probably made by scissors), it is in very good condition. First picture shows a close up of the lacy design.

187d

Free: Roberts R600 Radio (Walkley S6) Gifted This is an old radio dating from the late 60s or early 70s. It works, but there is a loud hum in the background, which might be fixable by someone who knows what they're doing. A mains adaptor has been fitted by my dad at some point - the wiring is not beautiful, but will have been electrically sound at the time he did it. The carrying strap has been repaired - again in a functional, but not beautiful way. But I'm sure there will be an enthusiast out there who would be delighted to restore this to its former glory. If you are that person, please get in touch. Collection from the Langsett Road side of Walkley. Evening collection preferred if possible.

188d

No idea how long these have been opened, but they may be of interest to someone fairly local who wants to try out the fragrances before spending money on a full bottle. Or to someone wanting to clean violin strings (yes, really). Collection is from Lower Walkley, not far from Langsett Road. Evening collection preferred if possible
