I get the impression the house was starting to decay with the occupants still living in it, one of the windows in the small bedroom was patched up with plywood and silicone. You also get the occasional glimpse of newish items like the washing liquid on the floor of the bathroom.
Depending on location things can deteriorate very quickly. My brother took me to see location of our grandfather's sisters home. She had died 30 years before and you could barely see the foundation. Nature had taken over. Wood frame. Another case I know of the wife died suddenly. She did everything around the house. While the home was very much out of date, it was always spotless. If it had been sold before her death, it could have been lived in and updated slowly. It was a lovely home. Cinder block. Less that a year after her death it was up for sell. Don't know if the man died or the family put him into a nursing home. The place had to be gutted. Having dropped meals of to him several times, the smell was horrible. I could not even enter towards the end.
I look at these places and realize that this was someone's home. Their life partner may have passed, they were alone, and at one time this was a well-kept, tidy space. They had an interest in the nature around them, had family, and a favorite teacup. One day the last one there just couldn't keep up anymore. God bless them.
Great video - thank you! Good to see you back in an old house. No criticism, but I'm surprised that you didn't check the sell by dates upon the food in the kitchen!
Whow Colin your channel keeps producing hidden treasures of UK, these places not many have seen, they have history that yous and other explores are recorded little gems.
Sadly looking from the medicine cabinet and detergent bottles, it looks like it hasn’t been abandoned for that long, which means someone was actually living there. Crazy to think that people can’t live like that
Some of the best cobwebs I've ever seen. Also, as you say, it's great to see that scenes haven't been deliberately set up to make it all look a bit false. This is urban exploration at its finest.
Amazing place! So sad to think that most of that decay had happened while the old guy was still living in the house. Very sad to imagine. Ooh and maybe the fresh smell of smoke you mentioned in the description, was because they were both still there in spirit? 😉 You never know!!
That last clip opening the cupboard door showing old dust stains on the newspaper shows all the best bits have been taken. Nevermind love the videos dude even if your audio is questionable
I was getting some serious Ed Gein vibes from that 'leather' ceiling 😧If you know you know 😉 I could almost smell that house and I'm glad you didn't open that fridge....I was eating my breakfast whilst watching you 😅What a great building and obviously untouched for a very long time. Great video!!
Some of the products look pretty recent such as the Lidl Formil washing liquid. There are some folk that actually live in squalor like this for decades so it’s hard to judge how long it’s actually been abandoned.
Great Find Colin. Amazing that these places are just left empty, no matter how bad they look, with some TLC they make lovely homes. Thank you for showing us around T. B. E 👍🏻
From the outset with that perfectly performed handstand from Maddie, I knew this was a portent of something very special to come. I was not in the least disappointed. What an incredible find! Extremely well documented and at the right speed to absorb the ethereal ambience of the whole property. As an aside, I think the clays on the mantlepiece were perhaps, 'the ones that got away,' ha ha. Very well done and thanks for taking us all along on another of your great discoveries.
Very interesting. I don't think that discolouration is front cigarettes or tobacco. @8.58 You can see serious levels of soot on the fireplace which ties in with the soot on the cobwebs, lampshades etc.Possibly a fire that wasn't drawing properly and regularly puffed out smoke & soot. Upstairs, bedroom has male clothes in the wardrobe, a ladies hairbrush set on the dressing table, presumably reminders of a family life sadly now over. @11.32, book featuring the late Jack Charlton, may indicate an interest in fresh water fishing.@14.15 that duvet on the floor hasn't been there very long, 12 months max. I disagree on the lack of visitors, drawers pulled out, clothes shattered around etc. That place has had a few visitors or possibly friends/family searching for stuff.
This is a real time capsule. It’s great to see that this old place has escaped vandalism. That’s great to see. This has been a nice place in its day. I like the respect you show,as this is the remains of the lives of the people who once lived there. It has obviously been uninhabited for a good number of years. It is sad to think that this was once a happy home, now it is left to decay.Another very enjoyable explore.
Brilliant I love these abandoned houses you explore! Also at last I can comment as the last 2 times the comments have been turned off! I hope you do more of these. A Christmas special would be grand too!!
WOW! I've never seen a place so old and untouched except floor a make shift home in the side of a mountain where the occupant went off to fight ww1 and never came back. I think Adam mark explored that one. Maybe you should hit him up on the locale, you won't be disappointed.
The dirt in this house made feel uncomfortable for the whole video. I thought you would be attacked by an animal in any moment, I was getting prepared for the jumpscare hahaha
Great find, no graffiti or vandalism to be seen. It was normal for everyone to smoke back in the day, but having a wood stove constantly in use plus oil lamps would do much of the staining of walls and ceilings too. Using a wood stove or wood fire prior to having the electric fire fitted e everything would smell of burnt wood in the house, clothes, bed linen and curtains etc. We tend to paint our homes regularly nowadays but back then you only decorated when first married and moved in the place. You can often tell by the fashion of the clothes hanging up how old they are. Thank yo for this one. 💕🇦🇺
Hi Colin brilliant video again I think the spider’s have taken over that house love watching your videos keep up your brilliant work and videos Bernard
Some of the products I.e bob martin dog shampoo the toothpaste in the pot I believe is from Lidl and the detergent maybe Aldi one of the two lol and I don’t think they are that old. Yet the place looks like it has been abandoned much longer but then if it’s open to the elements and they smoked a lot aswell it can deteriorate much quicker, very interesting explore Thankyou once again x
I love watching your videos. It's nice to see these old abandoned places unvandalized. In the United States places like this are completely destroyed by vandals
I kean someone had been in there because finders beeper history seekers put up a video.of this.one not.so long ago. Nice to see your stance on it though
Glad I came across your channel 😊, Im new to exploring so it's great seeing these type of videos and to pick up great tips to help me along the way. I just liked and subscribed x
Oh my stars, that intro 🤣🤣🤣🤣This was quite an incongruous property. My personal thoughts are that it was lived in until fairly recently but in a state of extreme decay and lack of upkeep, then perhaps a fire from the black thick caked soot. Or an open fire that smoked heavily into the room, as well as the owner smoking. On the floor downstairs was a recent Fairy detergent bottle, other random modern bottles too. The white plastic bottle on the upstairs windowsill is a male urine bottle. Really sad place.
That is a real old skool farm house. The newest decor I could see in there was 70's. The tile fireplace with the electric bar fire was straight out of the 70's. Obviously most of it is much older than that but it just looks like that was the last time the decorated/modernised anything. These kinds of videos always leave me feeling sad and melancholic. To think that is somebodies life just laid bare and left to rot like it means nothing to anyone. There's something very sad in that. That newspaper in the bedroom cupboard....I was born in '76. Lol.
They possibly suffered a few chimney fires over the years which filled the house with soot and discolored everything. Either that or Dot Cotton lived there 😂
Great explore colin, watch all your vids, i think that amount of tar comes from burning any old wood on an open fire or range, instead of properly seasoned logs. saw it on a house i did some work on recently, all the best
I have seen another explorer here, I recognised the photo of the lady and all the black cobwebs. So sad as I really don’t think it’s been abandoned that long I feel that someone was living here in its run down condition 😢
wow what a great find that one was, no vandalism just as it was left. I still cannot get my head round how these places are just left and not claimed even the land! usually there is always some relative who comes out of the so called "woodwork" to claim their BIT but someone somewhere must have a claim great video though cheers
I have some of those products - I bought them not too long ago. The container design and appearance looks exactly the same. So perhaps, someone was living in that place recently
I noticed a glass Lucozade bottle on the dresser in the last bedroom entered. The glass bottles of Lucozade wrapped in cellophane were stopped after 1983. So that bottle on the dresser has been there a very very very long time.
hi colin well a good vid and creepy when you said you could smell cigarette smoke i thought some one els was there any way that place could be brought to life if the wright person got it keep safe good luck
Hi Colin. Hope you two are doing good. That was an amazing video as always. Never saw so much nicotine damage in my life that was on the walls. Maybe he or she the previous owners passed away from lung cancer. I loved the fireplaces in that house. Stay safe and take care.
In last video the Merkur XR4Ti is US version of sierra XR4. I can't say I'm big Ford guy, yet owning mk2 Focus ST, but Lotus Cortina was awesome. I know place near me where is 4 mk2 Cortinas in different condition, and one recked Taunus.
The merkur xr4ti is a performance version of your Sierra. We didn't get the Sierra in North America so we finally got this.its a euro version adapted to US regulations. They were assembled in Germany and shipped to North America and championed by Ford vice president Bob Lutz. It was 2.3ltr fuel injection and turbo. I was always a big fan of the Bi-plane rear spoiler. It was just the coolest.
That's an odd place, and it's hard to make sense of it. It looks like it's been abandoned for decades, yet there are modern medicines and cleaning products dotted about, so it can't have been that long. It's crazy to think somebody was still living in these conditions until fairly recently.
Witam serdecznie smutne to że po nas zostają takie zgliszcza nie porządek.Ale myślę że następne osoby które tu zamieszkały lub zamieszkują doprowadziły do takiego stanu . Bo osoby widziane na tych zdjęciach do nie dopuściły do takiego stanu ..Góra już wygląda trochę lepiej dużo pamiątek mebli rzeczy .Miałam w rodzinie okropnego palacza co prawda nie było takich zacieków czy brudu tylko ten zapach nawet po malowaniu był ale z biegiem lat znikł.Może też czas robi swoje .Pozdrawiam serdecznie i dziękuję za eksplorację i życzę miłego weekendu i tygodnia.
@@edwinthompson6510 This is from Google Translate: "Hello, it's sad that after us there are such ruins, not order. But I think that the next people who lived or live here led to such a state. Because the people seen in these photos did not allow such a state. The mountain already looks a little better, a lot of furniture souvenirs, things. I had a terrible smoker in the family, although there were no stains or dirt, only the smell was there even after painting, but over the years it disappeared. Maybe time does its thing too. Best regards and thank you for exploring and have a nice weekend and week."
Colin, great as usual 👍 these places are so weird, as previous comments calender date is 2014, but I always wonder if this is correct or not. We have a small house behind my house that hasn't been touched since 1986 when my grandma died and it looks like this one so maybe the calender is an additional item. Thanks Colin. PS. Your friend looks like fun lol
