#DebrisDiary time! Week three of sifting debris from beneath the attic floors has revealed some items which differ from those previously found by volunteers working on this project. @NatTrustArch 
A delicate glass button, which survived intact despite being both being dropped and hoovered up, was a lovely clean, clear contrast to the brown dust it was found in.
A volunteer also found a tiny piece of gilded, carved wood which could have dropped from a picture frame or piece of furniture.
And from the debris in the east attic emerged a large piece of the wallpaper which had decorated that room until the 1980s when it was stripped following the removal of some partition walls.
These finds were discovered in debris from the attics above Mrs Greathead’s flat and the east attics. #FindsFriday.
As ever, thank you to curator Anna Forrest for these fascinating insights into the finds. Thank you also to @DCMSArts @HeritageFundUK @wolfsonfdn for supporting our #RaisetheRoof project. Swing by this time next week for the 4th edition of our Debris Diary!
