discarded school uniform

I was at a friends house talking to his daughter about her college course. We talked about school and how much better college was. We then talked about how horrible school uniforms were. She told me that when she finished school, she wanted to burn her books and uniform but her dad wouldn't let her, so she threw the lot over the back fence into the grounds of an old derelict mill.
Of course I had to have a look and nearly 2 years later it was still there!
What was even better was that I found a tightly tied up bin bag full of coats. The 3 coats I kept were her mother's long purple down coat and Zara parka and the daughter's Firetrap jacket. I remember seeing them wear the coats on many occasion. Then that one day (about half a year ago) when the coats were no longer hanging up in the hallway. I remember commenting at the time how tidier the hallway looked and being gutted when she said they had tidied up and threw a load of coats away. Luckily she had used a good quality bin bag and tied it up well, the coats didn't even need washing.

Edge of landfill finds.
These were all on the surface, loads of skirts, some dresses and some nice coats. From the letters, some photos and newspapers mixed with the clothing, looks like this lot was discarded about a year ago. The clothing that hadn't rotted shows lots of staining and sun bleaching.

Fire damaged short skirt

I drove past this house where the front garden looked like a bomb had hit. The garden was full of household contents with furniture and clothing everywhere.
On closer inspection I could see that there had been a house fire with much of the discarded items burnt and very wet. Everything smelled of smoke and was black with soot.
I rescued a few skirts, most of which I ended up throwing away because they were too badly damaged.
The long down coat and the black parka were still hanging up in the porch of the house, so I had to ask one of the council workers if I could have them.
He checked the pockets first and told me that the family had asked for items of value to be saved, but any other items including clothing were simply going to the dump.
Unfortunately, the owner of these clothes had died.

This belonged to a neighbour of mine. By pure chance I managed to get these lovely coats and skirt suits of hers. She's a very attractive Pakistani girl that often cooks some curries for Samantha and myself. I've always adored the clothes that she wears, she works in an office and wears lovely skirts and suits. I never got the chance to get any of her old clothes and always presumed that she took her old clothes to charity. It was only when I was helping her move some furniture about that I saw her sorting through some old kids clothes that she threw in the bin.
I came back late at night to see what she had thrown out and found these fantastic items.
