Crushed limestone hardcore / scalpings, approx. 20 sacks (Whitley Bay NE26)
Clean crushed limestone, originally delivered in a one-tonne dumpy bag and now split into around 20 plastic sacks for easy collection. • Angular crushed stone, roughly 60mm down to dust • Light grey when dry, well graded with plenty of fines, compacts firmly • Clean quarried stone — no brick, concrete, tarmac or soil mixed in • Unscreened crusher run / scalpings, so NOT a certified MOT Type 1 Good for: paths, shed and greenhouse bases, sub-base under patios or footpaths, filling potholes, levelling and general hardcore fill. Fine under block paving for foot traffic. Not suitable where a certified Type 1 sub-base is specified for vehicles. Take one sack, a few, or the lot — whatever’s useful to you. Sacks are heavy, but I have a wheelbarrow here to get them to your vehicle, so no need to bring help. Collection only.

HP LaserJet 4/4m Plus (Whitley Bay NE26)
Gifted
Working well and with a full cartridge. This is a classic workhorse from the early 90s, with a 10/100Mbps network port and Centronics parallel port. Windows 11 no longer supports the network connection, but it does support the parallel port. I am including a USB to parallel port, which works out of the box with Windows 11. Included is the additional large paper caddy, but no double-sided unit (that went years ago). It is monochrome only, so a really good black, but obviously not photo quality. Some hobby crafts rely on monochrome laser printers, so it may be useful for that, though there is no straight-through flat path for card. Without a driver, it will print Postscript and PCL6 directly. It's had various bit replaced over the years, and it does still work. They don't build 'em like this any more. Manual included.
