If it was that important, why haven't you arranged collection in the past fortnight?

All of the advice offered on this thread made no difference and you've done nothing in the meantime?

Because my rent was Upto date and It wasn't possible to arrange anything be cause I've been out of town.

No access to phone or internet to arrange a clearance and relocation?

You've said that you won't let this go. The time to be proactive was before you reached this point.
It could have been so easily avoided....

Thanks for the replies, apologies as I have been away.

So the latest is, on the 8th, day rent was due, landlord messaged me saying tenancy was terminated. The very next day she has gotten rid of everything.  I had bags of childhood school books that she's thrown away plus roughly £2k worth of stock, of which I have proof.

She also messaged saying she smelt cannabis and I suspect she is using it as a reason for doing what she did.

Looks.to be a matter for small claims? I have zero intention of letting this go

Sorry to be blunt, but I'm not sure there's much you can do here. You'll never get any of the disposed items back.

She gave you notice that the rent would end and that she'd empty the garage if you didn't. She then ended the rent and emptied the garage.

You can of course try small claims for the provable value of the goods lost (at trade, not retail) and see what happens.

If she's claiming she terminated the rent and had to empty the garage based on safety grounds (the rubbish) then unless you can disprove that it'll go against you to.

You may have receipts etc for the stock, but do you have any proof it was stored in the garage.

I can't see that the OP has any claim against the LL here.
This was a garage to which access was provided on a licence (which confers very few rights).  
The LL gave two weeks notice to clear the garage (or have the contents disposed of by the LL if not cleared).
The OP did not clear the contents.
The LL went ahead and cleared the garage.
