Update - carpet and underlay gone, only the gripper rods left




We?ve taken up some carpet to recover the wooden floorboards underneath, and are happy to give this away to someone who can reuse it


CARPET - 380+ cm x 260+ cm

Neutral cream/light grey/beige carpet - good condition, with some light wear. Available for collection in a single roll. Minimum dimensions are given above - the carpet is up to 50 cm larger in some areas due to shape of the room.


Photos attached showing colour in various lighting conditions (as neutral as possible as I could achieve given the lack of sunlight yesterday evening!).


UNDERLAY - more than 10 m^2

7/8mm thick - from a very rough measurement with a ruler, a few nicks from removing staples but otherwise good condition. Orange colour, although doubt that is a key factor. In strips as follows (min. known dimensions - actual sizes slightly larger)

138 cm x 260 cm

138 cm x 267 cm

108 cm x 267 cm


CARPET GRIPPERS - 10m+

Dickinson Moore carpet grippers. Tacks to fix to floor also available.

Sizes: 150 cm, 150 cm, 150 cm, 150 cm, 114 cm, 94 cm, 73 cm, 67 cm, 66 cm, 59 cm, plus various smaller pieces

As mentioned, these are free for anyone to take. But, if it saves you some money and if you can afford to make one in the current situation then a donation for any amount to the King?s Hospital Heroes Appeal would be kind (https://supportkings.org.uk/hospital-heroes-appeal). Completely voluntary, and no obligation to say if you intend to do so when collecting.


Please PM me if you?re interested or if you have any questions about the items/collection.


All the best,

Ross

    • Thanks TWB, that is all really useful. However, if  memory serves, The Fox Project actually directed me to The Fox Angels when I phoned them, and had no facilities in this area for sending anybody out themselves. They seem to be based in Tunbridge Wells. The Greenwich Wildlife Network also just suggests other organisations who may help in certain situations. To the best of my knowledge, however, for situations involving foxes, including injured or ill  foxes, Fox Angels are the only people who have someone available very locally who can come out virtually immediately (I waited maybe half an hour after I phoned them). The person who came had all the necessary equipment to move the fox, was very gentle and caring, and took the fox to a local vet (it sadly died). It's possible that if you phoned a local vet they would help, if you could get the fox there. The RSPCA has guidelines on what to do if you find an  animal in need,  however although they have recently had a campaign on this (and sent me a badge and a copy of the guidelines on a pocket sized card) I can't find them online. I attach a photo. Don't know if the QR code would work from a photo.    
    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road). 
    • Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
