Free: Basin inc. Victorian-style taps (Central Crouch End N8) Gifted Basin, porcelain, probably 50's, with painted cast-iron wall brackets, along with modern Victorian-style lever taps: instead of fully rotating these only turn 90 degrees, like modern taps. Both taps and basin in excellent condition (apart from 2 tiny nicks in the porcelain: see photos 3 + 4, one close to the plughole, the other on the righthand edge). The basin needs a clean-up underneath and the brackets need a repaint. These have a second, very useful, function: for hanging towels/flannels on.

Free: Paint: Emulsion 3 different beiges (Central Crouch End N8) Gifted 3 cans of matt emulsion, 2.5L each. Different shades of beige: 'Natural Hessian', 'Nutmeg White' and 'Soft Stone'. 2 brand new, but tried out on 1-2 sq.m. each, so basically full. The 'Soft Stone' is older, but still very usable, and, having been tried out on more than one occasion, is 2/3 to 3/4 full.

Free: Coffee Table, glass top (Central Crouch End N8) Gifted Good condition, though frame could do with a little touch-up I00cm x 46cm x 43.5cmH The glass makes the item heavy, so it's probably better collected by car. However, the glass pane is immediately removable, has polished (ie.safer) edges and could go into a strong tallish backpack. The frame is very light.

Free: Packing Materials: Cardboard & Wrap (Central Crouch End N8) Gifted Corrugated cardboard: 2 rolls 4.2m x 1.2m. Good condition. Bubble Wrap: 2 sheets 1.5m x 1m, and 1 sheet 1.25m x 1m. Good condition. Lightweight for carrying, but bulky.

Free: Loudspeakers: Mordaunt Short 914i (Central Crouch End N8) Gifted Mordaunt Short Avant 914i Floorstanding Loudspeakers 86cm high x 18cm W x 27cm deep. Good quality (see Google reviews) and clear sound. Good condition. Small scuff on one back corner (photo 5). They're heavy, so good for bass, but you'll need either a car or to carry one home at a time! They originally came with grille covers and floor spikes: I don't have those, but the sound is better without the former, and there are simple alternatives to the latter. The copper-wire link-ups in photo 4 will be included: they reduce the terminals used to the standard two (bi-wiring from 2 amplifiers to 4 terminals IS an option but is no longer popular).
