Free: Hoover Super Sprint (SC086 Autoflex) (Meppershall SG17) Gifted 1200W pull along Hoover. As can be seen from the Users Instruction manual, it was bought in 1993 but the motor is still in good working order and the filters are all clean so seems a shame just to dump it. There are two extension tubes but one has a crack and been taped up, however spare parts (including bags) for this vacuum cleaner can still be bought (from spares2repair.co.uk). The multi-purpose nozzle and crevice tool are stored in the tool tray (see second picture) and 2 bags are included (one fitted in the Hoover and another spare).

Free: Wooden curtain pole (210cm) with Various Fittings (Meppershall SG17) Gifted Light oak coloured curtain pole 210cm (approx 7ft) long. The pole has 36 matching curtain rings and wall fittings (although some screws missing).
