Obscure MemorabiliaAt home my other half has a broken piece of a piano. Just a single hammer from a broken piano. And yet this twisted bit of wood and metal is a piece from the piano that they flung in the TV series Northern Exposure. We've also got some gardening tools from the first series of Big Brother.
What wierd stuff do you own that has a history?

St Lythan's TombBuilt in 6200 BC, this tomb still exists in the fields beyond St Lythans in Glamorgan.
I climbed on top to get a better view.
It broke.
I'd never break a bit off to keep it, but once it had fallen to the ground, amongst the cow pats and the mud, it seemed a shame to waste it, so I have a piece of one of the oldest Dolmen in Europe:

I also have a medieval hinge from the doors of the Tithe barn in Bradford Upon Avon, but to be fair, the doors were being renovated and an uneducated navvy had chucked it into a skip.
Oh, and both my children's Umbilical chords.
