The story of the Plastic Garden Storage box.
We bought a garden storage box so that we could store sales items for our second hand shop at Toddington station.
We often get donations that are left on the floor of the shop, so to put items in the storage box and out the way until sorted is a good idea
The box left at the rear of the shop has been stolen after just 2 weeks ,and during this weekends' ( brilliant) diesel gala many donations have filled the shop floor.
We have an old metal trunk that has been rusting away in the garden of 1 station cottages ideal to replace the missing box, but it needs much work to save it.
1864 is faintly visible on the front, the year the Clifton suspension bridge opened, Stanley found David Livingstone and the American Civil war was well under way.
The lid has fallen off but lets see if we can do something good with it.to be continued....
Can you make out the faded date, 1864, on the photo below ?
