Dumfries Flat Renovation Uncovers 1940s Time Capsule Under Floorboards

Kirsty Geddes, a 37-year-old marketing and communications manager, discovered a 1940s time capsule while renovating her top floor flat in Great King Street, Dumfries. Working with local joiner Jordan Walters, she uncovered artefacts including a 1942 fire extinguisher, newspapers from the week after D-Day, an empty tin of whole chicken in jelly, and an Armstrong and Dickie stout bottle. The finds also include cigarette packs, household cleaners, 'flit powder' insect repellent, and envelopes addressed to Mrs Latimer. Geddes hopes to trace the building's history by matching the envelope names with original hand-drawn title deeds.
