Reclamation and salvage.
Hi all,
I currently live in Hertford and am looking to purchasing a small Victorian cottage in Puckeridge. I am hoping to acquire various period bit and bobs for the interior and was just wonder if anybody knew of any good reclamation or salvage yards / shops in the local area where I would be able to purchase items such a door handles, floor boards, taps etc...?
If anyone has any good tips I’d be very grateful.
Thanks x

Solo park is quite expensive, but I am afraid that's what you pay for second-hand stuff, I have been quite lucky at car boot sales and flea markets for handles, locks, coathooks, fire-fenders, pullcords etc.

I heard Tree Heritage on North/Waterford Road are doing some architectural salvage.

Along the old A10 in colliers end is a place that sells old junk (so the notice outside says), Might be worth a look. I don't know what it's like. I always wanted to have a look but I never seem to have the time.

There are no more bargains to be had from Solopark,they only deal in large items or new stuff
I bought a reclaimed parquet floor from the London Colney yard through e-bay, great value and service, they delivered for £20.00
If you want doors or door furniture, try The Stripping Co in Stanstead,
Ther was a salvage yard in Aston Clinton,nr Aylesbury which had some interesting stuff
other than that E-Bay architechtural and antiques section has loads of items
