Workmen Discover Huge Vintage Porn Stash During House Clearance In Bristol

Workmen Discover Huge Vintage Porn Stash During House Clearance In Bristol

They'll be looking to palm them off onto someone, no doubt

Imagine the scene: you're trying to clear out a house, but you just can't shift a bed. It's too heavy, so you decide to dismantle it slightly... but in doing so, you uncover a secret hidden time capsule from the past.

That's not exactly what happened to one group of workmen in Somerset, but they did find a shitload of porno magazines.

Yes, Karl Horler and the rest of the folks from salvage firm Frome Reclamation made a discovery of a load of antiquated nudey magazines while working in a house in Bristol.

That bit about the bed? That's true as well. Imagine how many porn magazines it takes to weigh a bed down so much that you have to cut off the bottom drawers to move it.

A hell of a lot.

The very surprised Mr Horler, who can be spotted in the pictures trying not to look too happy about his find, said: "When we did [cut off the drawers] there were hundreds of pristine porn mags from the 1960s to the present day that were under the bed.

"They had weighed down the bed, that's why we couldn't move it. You do sometimes get surprises in this game."

Surprises? I'll say.

The magazines aren't all collectors' items - some of them are a bit more modern. They're all pure unadulterated filth, mind. Whoever owned them before, they really liked their pornography.

Mr Horler continued: "There were over a hundred magazines from the early 1960s to about 2010."

So, who would own such a vast and varied collection of masturbatory material? Well, Mr Horler's best guess is that it was a single man who has since passed away.

Passed away? More like passed out from exhaustion, you'd have to imagine.

Despite being the kind of thing that you might not want to pick up second hand - or pick up at all, for that matter - there is actually a market for this kind of thing.

Believe it or not, some people are known to collect old porno magazines. For the articles, I'm certain.

WATCH: FROM PORN STAR TO PASTOR

Anyway, a casual glance at eBay will reveal that these sorts of magazines change hands - gross - for quite a bit. Either way, a haul this size could be worth a couple of hundred quid, easily.

Even if they were to be worth a tidy sum, I'm not sure I'd want to put the man hours into carefully separating all of the pages by hand.
