Free: Bamboo canes for beans etc (Slack Lane DE22) Gifted Bamboo canes for your garden or allotment. The longer ones are around 2.4m in length (I have approximately 20 of these). The shorter ones are a mixture of lengths, mostly around 1.5m in length. I have about 3 times as many of these as appear in the picture. There may be enough for more than one person if you don't want all of them.

Free: Folding garden chair (Slack Lane DE22) Promised Substantial folding garden chair with foam cushion. In working order, but some rust marks on the frame and it's been stored in the garage for years, so will need a bit more of a clean than I gave it for the photos. It is comfortable to sit on, but quite heavy to move. The label says that it doesn't need to conform to 1988 foam regulations (presumably because it's for outdoors), but states that the foam and covering have had some kind of ignitability test.

2d

Free: Small shelf unit (Slack Lane DE22) Shelf unit which used to hold hi-fi equipment. Approximately 44cm wide x 40cm deep x 60cm high. The middle shelf was either added to the original unit or adapted by my dad and has corners cut out rather crudely with screws that stick out in order to stop it slipping. This could easily be removed as required.

2d

Free: Small office chair (Slack Lane DE22) Small brown office chair on wheels. Still in quite good condition. The back rest can be adjusted a little in height and depth, but not the seat. Seat dimensions 44cm wide x 39cm deep. The wheels reach out a few cm beyond the dimensions of the seat. Overall maximum height around 89cm

2d

Free: Single duvet (Slack Lane DE22) Gifted Single duvet (135cm x 200cm approx), 12 tog, polyester filling, polyester/cotton outer. Label says it conforms to BSI 5335 (1984), so it might not conform to current fire safety standards. Good condition. From smoke and pet free household.

3d

Free: Rocking chair (Slack Lane DE22) Promised Wooden rocking chair. Rough dimensions are 77cm long x 72cm wide x 94cm high. It was professionally re-upholstered within the last 10 years, so should hopefully conform to fire safety standards, although there is no fire safety label. The front arm rest sits slightly loosely on its base and wobbles a bit, but it has been like that for the past 50 or more years without problem!

3d

Free: stool (backless chair) (Slack Lane DE22) A potential up-cycling project for someone: Wooden stool - was once a chair, but not in the past 50 or so years. The seat has been covered with sticky back plastic, but I'm sure that could be removed. It is surprisingly comfortable to sit on - we used it as a piano stool for years.

3d

Free: Bag of towels (Slack Lane DE22) Gifted 6 bath towels and 3 hand towels. Used but clean, and there is plenty of wear in them yet. Would perhaps suit someone starting out. To go as one lot please.

3d

Free: Pieces of wooden shelving (Slack Lane DE22) Various pieces of wood. Most come from what was once a stand-alone bookcase, but this got dismantled and the wood used for wall shelving. The dimensions of the largest pieces are approximately 157cm x 30cm, but bits have been cut/chiselled away from when it was a stand-alone bookcase. Then there is a separate darker length of wood which is approximately 276cm x 11.6cm. Also some sections of chipboard and smaller bits of wood if interested. Please note that these will be going to the tip at the end of the week if I get no response. If someone is interested, you can have a little longer to collect. You will need a large car or van to collect, or be prepared to cut the pieces to fit your vehicle.

Free: Set of herb/spice racks and jars (Slack Lane DE22) Gifted 3 wooden spice racks, two are “double decker” plus around 19 jars (some clear glass, some brown glass). These have been well used and loved for many years, so have some paint marks from where they’ve been removed from the wall. One shelf is slightly warped, but it doesn’t affect use.

Free: “Head” hold-all (Slack Lane DE22) Promised Large “Head” hold-all. Cream colour. 58cm long, 26cm high. Zipped compartments at one end and one side plus one open pocket.
