Blank Unused Audio Cassette & VHS Tapes (Central Liverpool L3)
I’m looking for any blank, unused audio cassette tapes or VHS video tapes—sealed or unsealed, as long as they haven’t been recorded on. All brands and quantities considered, including old shop stock, tapes found during clear-outs, or boxes gathering dust in the loft or garage. Happy to collect locally at a convenient time. Thank you!

Old & Vintage Photographs / Loose Prints / Photographic Coll (Central Liverpool L3)
I’m looking for unwanted old photographs, vintage snapshots, loose prints and photographic collections that might otherwise end up being thrown away. I’m happy to take anything from a small envelope of photographs to boxes of loose prints or larger unsorted collections, and I can collect locally. I’m particularly interested in photographs showing: * Old street scenes, shops, pubs and town centres * Liverpool, Merseyside, North Wales and local history * Railways, stations, steam trains and transport * Classic cars, buses, motorcycles and commercial vehicles * Aircraft, airports, ships and military subjects * Factories, docks, mines, shipyards and workplaces * 1960s, 70s, 80s and 90s everyday life * Holidays, seaside resorts and foreign travel * Old advertising, petrol stations and shop fronts * Nightlife, clubs, music, festivals and events * Demolished buildings or places that have completely changed * Fashion, youth culture and interesting social history * Unusual, funny, candid or simply beautiful snapshots I’m working on a project built around rescuing forgotten photographs and giving them a second life. The idea is to preserve interesting old images, share some of the stories and details hidden in them, and stop photographs that may have sat unseen for decades from simply disappearing. I’m especially interested in dated, labelled or location-specific photographs, but completely unsorted boxes are absolutely fine — you don’t need to know who or what is pictured. If you have old photographs you no longer want, please get in touch rather than throwing them away. I’d love to give them a new home and help keep those little pieces of history alive.

Old 35mm Photo Slides / Transparencies / Family Slide Collec (Central Liverpool L3)
I’m looking for unwanted 35mm colour slides, transparencies and old photographic collections that might otherwise be thrown away. Happy to take small boxes, full carousels, entire collections or mixed unsorted lots, and I can collect locally. I’m particularly interested in older slides showing: * Railways, steam trains, stations and railway infrastructure * Classic cars, motorcycles, buses, lorries and other transport * Aircraft, airports, air shows and military aviation * Military subjects, vehicles, ships and naval scenes * Factories, docks, mines, shipyards and industrial history * Old street scenes, town centres, shops, pubs and buildings * Liverpool, Merseyside, North Wales and other local history * Motorsport, racing, rallies and motor shows * Ships, ferries, liners and working boats * Festivals, fairs, exhibitions and unusual events * 1960s–1980s holidays and travel, particularly places that have changed significantly * Demolished buildings, abandoned places and redevelopment * Old advertising, shop fronts, petrol stations and signage * Famous people, performers, musicians or sporting events * Interesting social-history photographs showing everyday life But please don’t worry if you don’t know what’s on them — ordinary family slides are welcome too, and I’d rather old photographs were saved than simply put in the bin. Dated, labelled or boxed collections are especially interesting, but completely unsorted slides are absolutely fine. If you have any sitting in a loft, cupboard or garage that you no longer want, please send me a message. Happy to collect and give them a new home.
