Beacon Hill Fort..have to admit would not go in this under ground bunker alone definitely not at night !! Forgot i did this video ..locals of Harwich enjoy 😃 and those that like history
Are charity shops purely commercial enterprises today? Or do they still accommodate low income shoppers As they did traditionally?
What are your earliest memories of collecting stickers ..I can only assume for most it was Panini foitball albums ..that smell of opening a fresh packet and finding a player to fill a team swapsies in the playground with your mates plastic bands around a large bundle in your school bag ...this one is from 1980 and 100% complete
Do you still have the ones you collected?
Would you ask a buyer to pay for an item if they broke it on your stall at a Car boot sale?

All purchased for £3 or under ...what do you think will bring the most profit ??

Some of my best profits have come from old photos from WW1 & WW2 often overlooked like this album i purchased for a fiver ...rarely do I not get an eight fold return ...this album had just 15 photos within it but two were of workmen finishing up the Menin gate one of WW1 trenches with the tree damage clearly visible in no mans land and the most interesting what appears to be a WW1 veteran returning to the cell that may have held him during WW1 ..if you can attribute a name regiment and rank to the photo
Then ..add another 20%
For £11 return foot ferry trip across to Shotley in Suffolk from Harwich..takes approx 10 mins.. had a nice walk up to the gates at HMS Ganges.. unfortunately the meal we had in the pub was one of the worst I've had for many a year ...pint was okay at least it was cold ! If you like your history as i do the HMS Ganges Museum is well worth a look in
Different pace ..I love my History as well as collecting and reselling..been meaning to get down to Beacon Hill Fort for a while now ..what a grand job they have done ..a huge transformation..and incredible dedication to remembering our local History 👏
