Cellars, attics and three floors: packing a Sheffield house
The Victorian and Edwardian villas of Nether Edge, Brincliffe and Broomhill are big houses, and an attic or cellar there is often the last place sorted. Packing works from the top down, with the attic and spare rooms first and the kitchen last. Fragile items such as glass, china and pictures are wrapped and boxed, and boxes are labelled by room so they land in the right place at the new address.
In a stone terrace in Walkley or Crookes, the front room and the hall are narrow, so packed boxes are stacked out of the way of the door. A flat in Kelham Island or Park Hill has less to pack but a lift and a carry, so boxes are kept to a size one person can manage. Say which rooms need packing and which you will do yourself, and the plan is set before the day.
