00:00 Do we have the museum ladies ready with their gloves?
00:04 We've got another team on his side, don't we?
00:07 There we go.
00:09 Yay!
00:10 All right, done.
00:11 That's a piece of downpipe.
00:13 I didn't think they made downpipe like this back in the day.
00:18 You ready?
00:19 Let's see.
00:20 She's busy.
00:21 Oh, that's all good.
00:25 It's cracked.
00:26 It's not dust, OK?
00:28 I can tell you that now, it's not dust.
00:30 So, the people who are handling next like to get their gloves on.
00:35 All right, here we go.
00:38 All right.
00:39 Boxes open.
00:40 Wow.
00:43 This way.
00:44 Oh, wow.
00:53 Wall of steel intact.
00:55 Oh, it's the bill for the hall.
01:00 Yeah, yeah.
01:02 That's shampoo, teeth and stuff.
01:05 What is that?
01:06 That's the bill for the bar.
01:07 There's your coins.
01:09 Ah, history, isn't it?
01:21 That's actual parchment, yeah.
01:25 Pretty thick, isn't it?
01:27 Not bad.
01:28 Now, I'm going to measure that too.
01:31 It was a bit more fragile.
01:33 It was a paper stand.
01:35 What was that?
01:36 A chronicle.
01:38 Yay!
01:39 That makes me happy.
01:41 That makes me happy.
01:42 That's a chair.
01:43 I was going to say, it's not bulls.
01:45 There wouldn't have been any dust in there otherwise.
01:49 No, they left all that in chambers.
01:51 Yeah.
01:52 Oh, look at that.
01:55 The Wingham Chronicle.
01:57 Goodness, great.
01:58 What's the date?
01:59 It should be.
02:00 1925.
02:01 Don't you wish you could just fill paper up that size again?
02:06 Oh, my chest.
02:07 That's an interesting answer.
02:08 Is that the broad sheet?
02:09 Yep.
02:10 You knew it?
02:11 Yep.
02:12 November 16th.
02:13 1923.
02:14 November 16th.
02:15 Oh, isn't that lovely?
02:16 I love the old ads on the back.
02:18 Yeah, it's got a little tear.
02:20 Yeah.
02:21 And the roll of honour down the side here.
02:23 Yeah, that's all.
02:24 All the names.
02:25 Yeah.
