It's a handy storage space, but not for everything! Much like the garage, your attic is a perfect storage black hole — things often get put up there, never-to-return. But if you've spent years packing bits and bobs in the space above your house without much thought, you might want to reconsider. Most attic spaces are subject to extremes of temperature and fluctuating humidity, which make them an unsuitable place to store certain things. It's time to pull down the ladder and have a dig around at what's up there. Here's our list of things you shouldn't store in your attic. 1. Old tech VCRs, TVs, smartphones, laptops and games consoles - any delicate electronics - shouldn’t be kept where there are big fluctuations in temperature and high humidity levels such as an attic. Moisture can easily collect inside and damage them. If you no longer need them, consider selling on eBay instead of storing. 2. Photographs or picture albums Your recent memor...

Stephen Recently we were requested to digitise photographs for a client who's son had refurbished a Victorian Real Tennis Court.  What followed was a fascinating history of Real Tennis. Real Tennis is still almost the same sport as the Royal Game that was played with such great enthusiasm at all the princely courts of Europe and by a large contingent of the urban elite between roughly 1500-1800.  After 1800 the interest in the game dwindled on the continent, but it survived in Great Britain. After 1874, when the new game of lawn tennis swept the country, royal tennis became more fashionable again among the English aristocracy.  By the year 1900 the popularity of lawn tennis was so great that it was universally called "tennis" and the old game ha...
