One thing hidden in the hollow spaces beneath the staircase was a radio.

Realizing it would look strange if our household produced none at all, we decided to turn in the portable and hide the larger, more powerful instrument in one of the many hollow spaces beneath the old twisting staircase.

Another space was used for the secret delivery of food coupons, which were delivered each month by Fred, a retired meterman.
