Currently having to sort my loft out, need access to wiring and other things under the floorboards.
Trouble is it's been a storeroom for 40+ years of treasure (and tat).
So just going to post some pictures of anything interesting I find 

The scale of the problem

Had a Commodore 64 with disc drive back in the 80's
Think I got rid of that, although it might still be here somewhere?
Found the games and programs though.

First video recorder was a second hand Betamax.
Sadly that died the death many years back, but did unearth all the videos.
Would really like to watch the New York home movie again (not me, it was given to me by the guy I bought the video off. had video from the WTC and Empire state building on it from the 80's).

It's a good place to keep the West Ham flag 

Nice loft

For nostalgia fans, the wallpaper covered books.

The 'man on the moon' one is actually a 1953 publication, interesting but totally wrong.
But back in those days we really did think Interstellar travel would be possible before the end of the century

I have to ask: Do you live in a bungalow?

The reason for asking is, I don't know anyone who keeps a ladder hanging up like that in a loft

No terrace, wooden ladder so would probably rot outside and the only other place for it was in the hallway but we kept tripping over it, so in the loft seemed a logical choice 

Found a pile of old camera negatives, just working my way through scanning them.
Loads of holiday, family, baby photos etc, but good to see things like these from around the early 80's
Was always a big music fan, and spent way too much money on records

Yes I was the same from mid 70s to mid 80s.


The memories those items conjure up is great sometimes
