Abandoned- 2 old relics! A derelict shop with villa and an 1880`s workers cottage 

That was awesome!!! workman's cottage as cute as it was, isn't the most inviting place to want to live in. I have always been fascinated by corner stores, i guess more because they are the end of an era I guess!!! My fondest memories are buying mixed bags of lollies ha ha!!! thank you so much

Brilliant Video Thank you so much. This Reminds me of a Suburb (Nothcote) in Victoria I Grew Up in. Heritage listed now..Oh And We had a Corner Little Shop, 20 cents Mum would give my Beautiful big sister and I once a week Friday after School to walk down and Buy a Treat, Bread, A Bottle of Milk. I have no memory From those Day's As My Beautiful Big Sister Passed from Leaukimia one month from her 12th Birthday in Our Mum's Arm's waiting for an Ambulance, She Never Complained. She is Our Gaurdian Angel Now. we were 13 Months Apart. The Only Memories I Have are on Old Home Movies, Photos, But I think my Brain Will Not remember as it would Be Too much for my Soul to Cope With.. Really Appreciate These Video's Now as It's Like A Step back into How Wonderful Australia was in the 50s - 80s. Now omg The World truly has Turned Into a World of Corruption and Green Ideology. Kindest thoughts to you and your family and Furbabies from The State of Victoria x👍🌹

Urbex Indigo thanks my friend for sharing this video with me i really enjoyed it about the Abandoned- 2 old relics! A derelict shop with villa and an 1880`s workers cottage it was really interesting to see these places how they looked seeing how they are built and i am from the U.S.A and i always enjoy your channel and i can't wait to see your next videos and God Bless and thanks again.

Thank you for the explore, Paul. Gotta love the astroturf in the shower room of the first home!!

these always makes me wonder what these places look like new.

Hi Paul, cool places. I never heard of salt damp, not a problem in AZ. Thank you for the explanation. Take care and as always be safe. 🙂

Wonderful thing urbex recording 👏 these old homes love ❤️ you man stay safe 🙏 stay 😎 cool

This has to be one of my favorites, I wonder what the shop sold , just imagine it in it's hey day....

Ha ha, I loved the synthetic grass, here it is Astro turf.

Just love the old store just darling

Great explore of 2 lovely old cottages - I am a shop owner myself and the old ways of also having your family home at the back of your shop is sadly a bygone era. Lovely as it would be to see these old relics completely restored and back in use - like you say, it would simply be too costly 😕 Thanks as always and looking forward to your next adventure! 👍

I wondered about the sparkly purple paint that someone else commented on also. I don’t remember how many years ago, but some homes had sparkles in the ceiling paint. The ceilings were white and at night when the lights were on it looked nice. Haven’t seen any like that for a long time. Anyway, thanks for another interesting explore video Paul! 👍🏻😊

I remember walking past the shop a few years ago and thinking it was a pity it was abandoned and run down. You are doing a fantastic job, recording our architectural history.

Paul memories come flooding back dad let me drive our old Chevy truck to our local farmers market i was 13 yrs old ,,,,,,, we stopped at pappy Joe's general store / cafe,,,,,he sold everything we had pancakes n egg breakfast,,,, n coffee,,, and chatted to the local cop,,, he knew i was driving old bessie said nothin dad bought him a breakfast n beer,,,,,,,, great days,,,,, enjoyed today's post m8.......Ed

It would b good to do an follow up on this old shop and see if they fix it up.amazing shots thanks for showing us .

Thanks for another interesting Video! I love those old corner stores,it would be nice to see old photos from this store. Greetings from Germany😊

This was yet another couple of gem's! I always wanted to have a shop/residence and recall looking at one on Kensington Rd in 80,s for $150 week! Wouldn't get that now!

Wow ... Amazing us all with another brilliant abandoned places exploring video.... Paul. These are really amazing and adorable little old house and shop/little old house. Both amazing to look at even in their current state of being. Both would have been very special to the people who lived there and shopped there in the old store. This is just so very VERY brilliant.

When I see these old shop fronts i do think of how it might have been and would love to see photos of what it was through the decades to come to this. I've seen many of these shops turned into quirky cafes, cosy clothes boutiques and homeware shops in upper class suburbs in Adelaide and other country towns.

Love this explore. But, I am not sure if you noticed or not but the purple paint in front room, the old veranda, and the room with the fireplace w/out mantle, it sparkled. Don't know what kind of paint that is or what they put in the paint. Anyway, it was really cool to see. Again, ty Paul for this explore and the history you always give.

Brilliant as usual Mate

Love the style of that old shop. Pity it was renovated. We need that style to make a come back. I have an old shop near me (charlestown, Newcastle) - wooden shack really, in the backyard of a home. All the painted adverts failed away. No access, to private yard or building.

Great explores! Gotta love the basic old homes. Life was so much simpler back then. The shop /house reminds me of one my aunt had in country Victoria in the 1970s. Thanks for explaining about salt damp. I had never heard of it.

Yep, great vid and location.

I think you are doing a wonderful job of documentingy these old homes so other generations can watch these videos and see how homes used to be built ,no matter ,what year or plain homes to more expensive ones The architecture and materials change all the time Great job,I really enjoy your explores.Thank you 👍🇺🇸❤️

yes your right it would be awesome to see it restored back to original

Very cool 😎👍 love the history

Hello Paul. I hope Spring has sprung there. Leaves are turning here. I have to say that the first cottage seemed sad and lonely. I loved the second. The stones outside that are carved with vines are enchanting. I think it is lovely to fine a home and shop that are together. Not something you see much of now. I would love to have a shop and home together. You do such a wonderfu job at documenting history through architecture. Waving from Maine.

Would love to see what you look like! Please post a video where we can see the whole of you. Thanks!

They had old general store in New Mexico last time I went on vacation. Love it. took some pics of it.

The last one would make a great bar or cafe for the area wherever that may be💁

Cheers 🍻 urbex always great video

The workers cottage was very humble indeed, was shocked the poor was still on. 😳

Hey Paul I recon that cellar was a bug out when you said there was no bricks or concrete laid in there maybe it wasn’t finished. The first little cottage liked that one mate and love that archway so cool another awsome explore mate cheers

HAPPY NEW YEAR PAUL , ✊👊 🎉🎉 LOVING Your journeys into the past With these old Gems Into the past . Thanks mate 👍👊

Thank you for explaining salt damage, I was wondering how long it takes for that to happen to the degree here, yes nice to have videos, it would have been nice to have of my old neighbourhood, all gone now for a park, my great grand dad built 6 houses on the street, I lived in 4 of them growing up. Would have loved someone like you making a document. It was considered river bottom land, flooded twice that I remember. He was an Irish immigrant but was living in Wolverhampton in Britton before coming to Canada.

Thanks for the tours Paul! 👍👍👍 🇺🇸

Great videos paul and going back a long time ago i like the old cottage style ones specially as work places cheers paul.

You are totally right to record these bits left from the old times. When they're gone they're gone forever. Good work. You're a historian, recording artifacts from another time. I see the "graffiti artists" have been at the windows with their pathetic scrawlings added to the general deterioration and pathos. Good video.

Thanks, Paul....Was thinking of your past explores in the homes that had all the leftover British Royalty memorabilia in them with the passing of our Queen on Thursday. A sad day indeed for all, but made me realize how loved she was with our Aussie cousins.

🌟Very cute cottage and old shop love the history behind them and they still have their charactor and charm even if they are in rough shape still love them no matter what. Thank you so much again ❤️🌟🤗:-)

Awesome works Paul

Thanks for sharing 👍. I liked both of these places. Have a good day 😊 💛.

Hi Paul, I enjoyed old corner stores and workers cottages in this video, sad there in bad shape, like see these old houses come back to life, I lived in Adelaide from 1974 - 1998. I used to ride my dragster bike around Adelaide Suburb, Cowandilla, Mile End, Hilton, Richmond and near Adelaide airport when I was 9yrs old and look inside these old houses that was 46yrs ago, Iam get in old. lol. Wondering if there a book out there that show how to build these old houses like new again. take care Paul, Cheers. Michael.

your videos are always interesting

Great video as always. Thanks for sharing and have a great day and be safe.

Don't want to sound like a know it all, but a lathe is a power tool used to turn wood and metal on, while lath are the strips of wood used to adhere plaster to the wall. The more you know...

I just have to say something about the Workerman's Cottage. My mum very good friend lived there and was without a working bathroom for a long time. I think he may even have been the last person to live there, to be honest.

7:20 You're not right here. The moisture comes from a pastiche of materials, in this case it looks like cement & gypsum over the original lime & probably mud structure, trapping moisture in the wall. The foundations are a factor too but not the main issue

Thanks for wearing your mask 😷.I am sure a lot of people would miss you,if you got sick or hurt. Where I live we don't have the problem , with salt in the walls. How would you fix it. Or how should they have fixed it.

Does anybody know the name for the type of quoining with the pressed divots on the surface ? there are old houses around lidcombe and Auburn N.S.W with this feature . i have searched for the name /style for years with no answers . i would love to know! great video Urbex!

I couldn't agree more paul t's terrible y not try and restore some of these buildings instead of knocking them over all the time our heritage is slowly but surely disappearing sadly

Cool explore, these places have been to far left to rot and have been picked apart to much for salvage, it would be nice to have seen them in their former glory but doubtful anyone would throw money at them now, only to pay the worker swinging the wrecking ball unfortunately . Thanks for sharing Cheers MM :)

Man at first place was really small not much to it at all the back yard was bigger lmao

Indigo, has anyone ever told you that you sound like J. Browning or M. Merlin?????

👍🙋🙂

Hey Paul, enjoying the explore thus far but tell me: What in blazes is that species of bird 10:01??

It seems like graffiti vandalism is now in full swing down under!

SAVE THE NURSERY BOOK AND BURN THE REST

What was the shop fruit 🍇 vegetable 🌽 or ice cream 🍦

People were superstitious back,it is not unusual to find hex marks (circle flowers scathed into a wall )or a women's shoe in the fireplace.

A Target advertisement, boring, lol
