Free: Wicker laundry box (Walkley S6) Promised Sturdy wicker laundry box. 55cm tall, 39cm at the widest part of the hexagonal top. This is over 50 years old and could do with being repainted. There is a dent in one side (shown in picture) and a home repair to the flap which opens the lid, but it is still perfectly usable. Evening collection easiest with me.

Free: Grab rail (Walkley S6) Promised Attach this to a wall to provide a hand hold for someone with mobility problems. This is currently attached to a piece of wood, I think just to make sure all the screws etc are there. Pen shown for scale. Evening collection easier for me.

Free: DIY banner (Walkley S6) This is a piece of plain navy stretch fabric approximately 180cm long and 81cm wide attached to wooden poles at each end. The poles are about 120cm long and 22mm diameter. I think it was originally used as a backdrop to tell stories, but if you add your own picture or slogan, it would make a good banner. Or you could dismantle it and use the fabric and poles for something else completely! Evening collection easiest with me.

Free: Radio cassette player (Walkley S6) Gifted Hitachi radio with cassette player. The radio works, but I don’t know if the cassette deck does. My dad extended the power cable and you might want to replace that (or get it checked/repaired by a competent person) before using. It was kept and used in his garage and would benefit from a clean.
