Wow! Who knew asking such a genuine and straightforward question would create such a flurry of responses ........ really curious about the stuff that's been removed?? Anyway .... I have my answer .... as I said it will be the bags for certain given that the town is famous for leather manufacturing. Thank you to all that replied (well to most anyway!)
