- Object name(s):
- Football Boots
- Brief description:
- Manufactured by ‘Winit’ Sports Footwear, these football boots are made almost entirely from leather, including the studs on the soles! These size 4 examples were discovered in a dusty cupboard at Heathfield Primary School, just prior to its relocation to a new site. An early example of this type of sports footwear, they probably date from between the First and Second World Wars. Since the first international matches – between England and Scotland in the 1870s – football has become the most popular global sport with an estimated audience of 1.5 billion watching the 2022 World Cup Final between France and Argentina.

- Object name(s):
- Polish Slippers
- Brief description:
- Slippers are an important custom in Poland, with different styles widely made and worn. Although we don’t know where this pair was made, the style is similar to those crafted by the Gorale (highlanders) in Poland. These felted slippers, moulded from wool, are hand embroidered with traditional Polish motifs. Their leather soles bear the stamp ‘135-z1 & 36’. Polish slippers have many different names in their homeland, reflecting their style and regional origin: they are known as papocie or papucie by one of our volunteers; in Poznan, slip-on variants are laczki, and others are known as paputki.

- Object name(s):
- Royal Wax Seal
- Brief description:
- This is the Great Seal of the Realm of Queen Victoria; it was attached to documents that were endorsed by the monarch and had therefore received the ‘royal seal of approval’. The Latin inscription, Victoria Dei Gratia Britanniarum Regina Fidei Defensor, translates to: Victoria, by the grace of God, Queen of the Britains, Defender of the Faith. Since the Middle Ages, royalty and other important families have had their own seals engraved as stamps to create a unique impression in melted wax on documents and letters. An unbroken wax seal was proof that a delivered letter had not been read by anyone since leaving the sender’s hand circa 1840.

- Object name(s):
- WWII Helmet
- Brief description:
- Metal helmet in khaki green used during the Second World War. It has the letters ‘AFS’ painted on the front in white which stands for Auxiliary Fire Service. It would have most likely been worn by a local volunteer helping to put out fires caused by incendiary bombs. The AFS was formed during the war as a result of the Air Raid Precautions Act 1937. This placed a responsibility on Local Authorities to host and manage an emergency fire service. By September 1939 the AFS had over 200,000 members, supporting the country’s regular firefighters in the battle against German air-raids.

- Object name(s):
- Hornby Train Set
- Brief description:
- Hornby Railways is a British model railways manufacturing company that began in 1901. Their Type 50 clockwork tender locomotives were produced in British Railways liveries from 1954 until 1961, replacing the prenationalisation liveried 501 series. Made from tinplate, this set consists of a 0–4–0 loco and tender with ‘lion over wheel’ emblem, a brown goods wagon, a crane on a flatbed wagon, a tipper wagon, and key to wind the loco’s clockwork motor. It runs on 32mm wide track (Gauge ‘O’, or 1:43.5 scale), making it compatible with many other manufacturer’s model railway systems. Circa 1954-1961.
