Shower screen, roller blind type (Roebuck SG2)
Well-used for many years. Spring-loaded mechanism still works ok. Fabric is sound, but faded and creased. Probably too tatty for a bathroom unless you can replace the fabric but someone might have another use for it?

Free:
Outdoor corner light (Roebuck SG2)
Bought many (?30+) years ago but never used. Still in original box. Supplied with 4 filament-type candle bulbs, 60W, but will take a bayonet-fitting LED bulb equivalent to old-style 100W bulb.

Bath side panel with doors, home-made (Roebuck SG2)
Withdrawn
Wooden panel for side of bath measuring 1715mm x 587mm, with 4 doors for accessing the space under the bath. Not the greatest feat of woodworking craftsmanship, but it's done the job for us since I made it about 30 years ago. The varnish is now somewhat tatty. Does anyone have a use for it?

Ink-jet printer, not working (Roebuck SG2)

Camping trailer (Roebuck SG2)
Gifted
Camping trailer, external dimensions 5 x 3 ft x 18inches, deep (internal dimensions 149 x 87 x 45cm), wood on steel chassis. Has spare wheel, prop stand and a rather worn cover. The trailer was bought in 1975 and has been mainly used for an annual camping trip since then, and stored in a garage when not in use. The wooden sides and base are sound but the angle-iron framework on one rear corner of the base needs a welding repair to be safe for carrying heavy loads. I had a quote for £144 for this last year but didn’t get it done because I bought a similar trailer on eBay. Needs to be protected from rain when in storage.
