Last lap

The house is ready for the moving van. Anything left goes to freecycle, charity shops, or the bin next week. End of an era!

These go home with me - except for the ironing board

The bags and boxes go to the charity shop

These go to Scotland, along with much more

Anything left in the loft?

What will happen to Esmerelda?

Tony's photos come with me, for sifting and sorting

Reminders of how it was, during the clearing -

During the House Clearing weekend - "take it away and leave a donation"

Lost posters of Moorgate Station

Layered up over the years, now they are on the point of disappearing as the station undergoes modernisation.

Gone.
