A sign saying Teas - 150 yards on the Right
Another sign saying Cream Teas at Old Town featuring a very naive painting of a teapot

The front of a fridge salad compartment
About twenty pieces of carpet of various sizes, patterns and filthiness
A doll's dummy
Some very strange and dirty items of girl's clothing
A box of tiles and an assortment of pens, batteries, little plastic bits of things (dirty)
A book entitled The Practical Poultry Keeper - here's a little extract
With respect to old fowls, in the market they are an abomination; but at home it is sometimes needful to use them. If so, let them be boiled. Unless very aged, they will then be tolerable eating; but if roasted, will be beyond most persons' powers of mastication.

If you combined all the items you removed from the loft (attic?) a great horror story could be cooked up.
If you have a scanner, do scan and post some of that poultry book! It would be FAB!!!
Not much cash in the attic there then... though the poultry book sounds rather wonderful. I think the dolly rucksack with the pick-axe has to be about the weirdest.
