Free: Iron gothic double bed frame (Castle Ward Lancaster) Gifted Bed only NO MATTRESS. The head and foot 'boards' are made of cast iron and are very heavy. The side rails and grid are made of steel which needs repainting as various scratches have left the white undercoat showing through. Unfortunately the small plastic bits to stop the grid moving about were lost in a move. But I tied the grids together and that seemed to work ok for the last five years. Dimensions: Headboard 1440mm w x 1320mm h Footboard 1440mm w x 950mm h Side rails 1920mm

Request: Lid from a packet of wipes (Castle Ward Lancaster) Expired I would like this to use as a cover for a hole in a bathroom panel which is needed for access to a valve. The hole only needs to be big enough for a screw driver to go through and the inspection covers you can buy are far bigger than that. So the lid from a packet of wipes would be ideal.

Free: 2G Clamshell Phone (Castle Ward Lancaster) Gifted Designed for seniors this 2G Doro PhoneEasy 612 clamshell phone has large numbers with a white background for added visibility. There is an emergency button on the back which dials a specified number when pressed. See manual at doro.com for details of all features and how to set up. There is a charging cradle but the charging cable can also be plugged directly into the phone. It no longer has the original cable which is a micro USB type but I'm including a USB to micro USB cable which can be used with a USB plug. Please say why you would like this - an older person would benefit the most from having this phone.

Free: TV - broken backlight (Castle Ward Lancaster) Gifted This is a 40" TV which was purchased in November 2019 and now the backlight has gone and there are no replacements available. I can't believe that the only spare part available for such a new TV is the remote control. But I just can't bear to throw it into landfill so maybe someone can use it for spares.
