    When we lost a family member we were given his proffesioal photographer photo equipment, he was a professional photographer developing his own photos. But this was just before digital took off.we had hoped to get into the intrest of developing our own. Sadly we did not have the room or the time
    Now we are left with these ,one of them being a large size enlarger.
    I don't know what to do with these pieces as I don't think anyone would be intrested in them.

    Any suggestions please?

    School and college art departments sometimes/often still have darkrooms, you could offer to them.
    Or contact a camera / photography supplier? I bought some secondhand film camera kit last year (for daughter's 21st - she and several of her friends are into using film) from a company called Harrison Cameras, but during my search I came across several others. I notice that they have an enlarger or two in their stock.

    EBay or similar, there will be plenty of collectors who might be interested.

    Yes, I found them very helpful and personable. It would be good to talk to a specialist I think, because the prospect of damaging the lens is quite high.
