As the internal partitions start coming down to replace all the rotten floor beams beneath, I’ve come across a few little finds.
This is a nice coloured publication from 1919, just after the First World War.
It was found blocking up a hole where there was an enormous mouse nest running half the width of the house, 10m long

It’s a children’s comic called L’Echo du Noël  by Bayard Presse in Paris. The company started in 1873, and was very popular children reading material.
Theres no value to it, but it probably means that there were young children living in the house around that time.
