[mick-ne]

while onb the island for the tt races decided to root out this post the lid was very unsecure but looked promising when opend as it was a mass of spiders webs,really gave an impression i was the first down for ages,inside wasnt very interesting really,but quite good condition and more or less as described by subrit, i think i was spoiled with my last one heres the pics,

Went for a look today, found it nice and easily, got in fairly easy (I’m only little so it was pretty heavy). The dates on the papers and magazines were from 1998 - 1999.

Here’s a few of my pictures, though they’re pretty much what Micks ones showed (Sorry, no site of your scarf dude). Apologies for the horrid flash, couldn’t find my camera so borrowed my Dads and didn’t have much of a clue how it worked.

I’m pretty sure the Peel one was locked, unlike the Castletown one, it had a different opening, there was no bar. It looked like this:
