Loved that episode! The war time postcards were amazing. Eugene Bickens, son of Joseph and Amy born around 1892, was in the Royal Horse Artillery and Royal Field Artillery, rank, Gunner. His parents were tailors, or at least his father was, (who was born in France). Eugene had two brothers, possibly Harry and Napoleon! If it's the same Eugene in 1939, he had married a girl in France, called Peaceful!
Those spikes wheels you found are pattern wheels. They are used for transferring a pattern to fabric - you run the wheel along the pattern lines and it will prick holes in the paper, and you can then pounce chalk through the holes onto the fabric. I actually still use them to transfer my embroidery patterns - but those are way nicer than the ones I have! Lol. Great explore! ❤️
I use them for leather projects. I was fortunate to find an antique shop that had a corner lot full of cobbler tools. Some really strange tools!
Everybody looks like Andy, as long as we would like to see him again.
Matt, tell a military museum about the letters you found from ww1. They should be protected.
I agree darling you really should contact the military museum and those letters safe and protected ❤❤
The problem is even a museum, can’t remove the postcards… it’s still classed as burglary
I’m trying to do that
That war letter from Eugene is so sad. It says he applied for leave, "but has very poor hopes of getting it. It has properly killed all my spirit for soldiering, I am disgusted with it, but I suppose I must carry on" I hope he did survive the war, this is just a glimpse of what these men/boys were feeling xx
It really is awful… but at least he survived it. He didn’t die until 1960.
Yay! Matt put a hat on for Andy! 😅😅😅😅 love it!
Those cards for the lads mother really are beautiful great find .x
I really enjoyed tonight's explore .It is so sad that all those beautiful photos and embroidered cards from World War One ,are just left .I know if it was my house ,and I had passed away ,I would be more than pleased ,that someone had saved my treasures ,perhaps for a museum .
Don't know if anyone else has mentioned it buy those spoked metal wheels with a wooden handle that you thought were for pie crusts; they are used in leather craft to mark holes for the stitching.
Also in that same shot there was a leather hole punch on the table top.
Love your shows and you are the best at it!
I love how you Take the time out to look at things, a lot of people wouldn’t there has been explores where I’ve been disappointed they haven’t looked in a box or a case etc you could be missing some really historical items. Thanks for the explore x
Those hand sown postcards were amazing! 💕
Fantastic explore Matt. I absolutely love all the things from the war. Those hand sewn postcards from the war. That person was in the Royal Field Artillery. Hand stitched postcards were bloody brilliant. What an explore. Thanks Matt.
When bear lays on his back and gives you his belly. Hes saying I love you.
It's a sign of love.❤
Aww good on ya Mat for wearing the Hat in honour of Andy.. Such a good mate!!
The letter translated, very sweet.
Calais on January 27, 1919
Dear Uncle and Aunt
We are very happy right now because baby Eugene is with us. He is leaving this evening for St Omer and for dinner we are with the family. Celine and her husband are with us. Our cousin is still the same very mocking, but he knows how to speak French well. We hope, dear uncle and aunt, to see you again soon, kisses from all the family.
Your niece, Agathe
the transferware plates in that hutch from the beginning of the video are so pretty.
also, an uncut edge of a book, like the poetry book, is called a deckled edge.
On the wooden plate, it was ‘Give us our daily bread in French’. The postcard was to his aunt and uncle. Really interesting explore! 😊
Wow amazing postcard. My gran was born Dec 1919 and she passed away may of this year at 103 x
It's the way you look at what is left behind and share with us that really sets your channel streets ahead of other urbexers. Thank you so much for what you do.
From what I can gather, there were two Biekens brothers. Eugene Napoleon (born 1892) and Henry Francis (born 1890) both born on the Isle of Wight. Henry died in action on August 7th 1915. Eugene died in 1960.
Died in Gallipoli 😢
This house was awesome great video Matt. The cards were from the 60 s . I found my brothers cards from his birth and he had one exactly the same as the one you looked at.
Matt and bear, this was one of the best solo explorers you have done, some amazing finds, those beautiful embroidery postcards. The photo of the west minister abbey fallen soldier, in the first bedroom the little white dolls chair was cute. But the rusty spike tools, I think they were for making holes or patterns in leather. You did make me laugh when you open the box of buttons. The straw hat suited you, thanks for another mating video. 🥰
Pear soaps pictures
Loved that house, the perfume brick was used for linen drawers, they sprayed perfume on the brick or lavender oil and made linen etc smell nice, perhaps to keep away moths too! ( dated from the 1930's)
Matt, kudos to you for going into these buildings with sketchy floors and staircases,but the things you discover WOW! AMAZING! What a stunningly interesting find this was and I love the way you look at so much of the stuff (that’s what I would want to do ) thanks for all your hard work, brilliant ❤
Love Moulin Rouge too! The best film but always makes me cry🥲One of them films you can watch over and over. The musical is fantastic as well!
Matt you pick the best of abandoned farmhouses and cottages 😂
Well done Matt, another great find. I am always glad to see you get out of these places without being seen. If some one ever does see you and says what are you doing in there, just say my dog went inside and you went looking for him lol. Bit of a problem if it is too high for bear to get in though. Rock on matt and Bear. Respect.
Those embroidered cards are fantastic!! You hit gold with this explore. So many items that need to be saved.
There’s a lot of good stuff in that place! Those post cards should be seen by everyone in a museum or something. You should buy one of these places with all the contents and fix it so floors aren’t buckling etc and open a museum like a “explorer window into the world” and keep everything like it is so people can search through. Kids would love it - I mean I would have! Lol.
At 10:10 those metal tools are for using on leather. They would make the dot patterns. And behind them, I saw a leather punch, for making holes in leather belts etc. Really love seeing all the old bits n bobs.
I can’t help but notice how clean it looks. I mean, the books on the shelves, pictures, paintings and such. It’s amazing.
Oh and little Bear…such a little sweetheart he is🥰🥰
I bet that bowler hat on the pic of the guy is the one you were briefly wearing! Mighta been a tad small but it looked GREAT on you! Frog in ceiling kinda suits rabbit in ceiling in the 'where's the logic?' department. 😂
The French postcard is to the aunt & uncle from niece Agethe who's traveling with their baby named Eugène. They're visiting a relative named Celine who has a mocking little boy who speaks French well. She sends kisses to uncle & aunt.
Eugine is the guy who writes back to his mum from the war
Got emotional at the first hat, then switched to the tiny hat and I died laughing. Emotional roller coaster right there.
Blue Peter book.....Valerie Singleton, Peter Purves and the legendary John Noakes (get down Shep) with dogs Petra and Patch.
And Matt, how did you not know that little Wilson's tin from Sheffield contained snuff? 😊
Perfume Bricks were little brick stones soaked in Lavender or other perfumes and put in wardrobes. They would also be put in storage to keep away moths.
Matt - you've excelled yourself this time..! Started watching at 11 and just finished at 2.30, still got lots to investigate ! You have no idea how much I look forward to your explores as the day always flies by researching afterwards... and that my friend is worth it's weight in gold when you've been stuck at home for years- Thank you so very much xx The history of the people is just amazing so far... did you get chance to look up any of it or shall I send you some? xxx
Matt, this was a great explore. I loved everything about it. I loved the embroidered post cards-it’s such a shame they’ll probably go to ruins. I loved the old pictures they are always interesting to me. Thank you for another grand adventure. I love you Matt, Bear and Andy. Oh your tribute to Andy’s hat wearing was awesome. Love you all bunches, Your #1 Fan from the USA, Betty
You know the explore isn't over until you've gone and cut yourself somehow. Good thing your light didn't go out when you had to search for your phone. What a great place with so many letters and postcards. Loved it.
24:45 loved that Marry Poppins style 1900s Umbrella. looks really nostalgic. Keep up the nice videos!
I was so delighted and impressed with this episode thar,t immediately after watching it, I joined your patreon page top-tier. Just had to. Matt, you outdid yourself!
Omg ! What an epic explore Matt . I'm totally with you on loving all them old photos and post cards . I would have been in there for days . I don't understand how family can just leave that stuff . It should be cherished. Thanks so much for what you do & little bear boy , his amazing ❤😊
The adventures of Matt and Bear 💜. Great explore. That was a really old house. Im thinking it started in the 1400’s. And I really do love to see the woodwork up close so thanks for that.
This was the absolute best stuff find 🎉so much worth so much. I hope there is family somewhere that will rescue it all before it gets stolen
Was the person who owned the property an artist? So many paintings and clay work. Beautiful postcards, brilliant video. ❤
This is one of your finest explores. We gotta send you some premium light sources so you can dawdle and have a long snoop without worrying.
I loved Bear's big smile when you told him he's good. ❤
What an amazing explore…thanks for sharing, it was fabulous
Loved this house. So much history, thank you.
Absolutely loved this exsplore!
Another great video I've been watching in between football games on halftime. So it's taking me all day to get through, but it's worth it. I love when you have the hat on. We all miss Andy, so it made us smile😊
Can anyone tell us more about that huge and beautiful painting of the lady with the arrow and flag found in the upstairs room?
Matt, you and Bear like giving me a heart attack. Both of you are just a hoot! 😜
Hi there, just some information for you, This is what my great grandad told my mother "The soldiers in ww1 pronounced YPres as Wipers " Keep up the good work.
This was a simply AMAZING exploration!! I loved watching it and seeing all the great old items that you found and showed us. I'll say it yet again that it's a real piggy that so much good historical information, photos and other things are just left to rot away and disappear!
🥰💖💖🐶 Stay safe Matt and thanks for sharing this amazing location with us!
Loved all the old photos !!
Fab video Matt loved the post cards and pics and the umbrella’s looked lovely x
Hi love the old pictures and old post cards keep on looking around love Patricia curry Danville VA 😊
Robbie Burns wrote a poem called - Nine inch will please a lady. Cucumbers are such an odd subject for poetry.
Best explore you done this year those cards amazing really beautiful, thank you for showing us
One of the best explores yet!😍 I could have looked at the books, cards and photos for the whole video. Keep smashin it 💥
The cards for the birth of the baby boy are definitely from the sixties, I have very similar ones from my first birthday...back in 1966. This has to be one of the best explores, so full of wonderful things...so sad that they're all just left to decay. Thank you for showing them all to us. Love little Bear's face, he's such a good boy 🥰
The writing in the big Plate was French. This must have been used for serving bread.
It reads: Give us our daily bread. It was "Donne-nous notre pain quotidienne."
Hi Matt love the explore and some great pictures and them hand sewn war ones wow amazing and so beautiful loved them
Those tools are possibly for
leather or possibly sewing.
The inside of the chair looks like burlap and maybe cotton stuffing.
Love the hats 🧢 😉😊
This is a place that i could REALLY enjoy looking thru these things. This is history and so interesting.
Those hand stitched post cards are absolutely lovely and beautiful. I have NEVER seen those kind before. Those would be worth a small fortune. Amazing.
This has been a GREAT explore.
Its so too bad you cant take those hand stitched cards to a museum. Could you tell them as an unknown contributeri
Cardinal Woolsey, wasnt he a jerk especially towards Catherine of Aragon. Or is it a different cardinal woolsey ?
KNT is an abbreviation for Knight, i think.
What a treasure trove of things.
Awesome and amazing. Love it.
Hope that flashing red light wasnt a silent alarm of some kind. You did mention the fridge was still running.which means electric is still on.
Another great explore with amazing artefacts
That was one of my favourite explores to date thank you Matt. The pictures and those hand sewn postcards were amazing loved those, the bath tiles were lovely. 😊
Good explore again Matt them handles with the spike wheels for fabric or leather that house looks very old them stairs looked small and very steep was alot of nice old pottery and pictures around the house shame it's abandoned left to rot
Because I saw a rivet punch, I'd say those needle wheel tools were for marking patterns maybe? I have a version of those I use that has been passed down for 3 generations.
I need a box like that sewing box with the buttons , lol, for my crochet needles . It would be great. And i soend so much time watching you that i havent even considered putting any content out for myself lol
Great explore. Its a shame all those photos rotting away. All that history.
Can't wait to watch this when I get off work!!
Matt this as got to be one of the best places I've ever seen you do please please go back and do another deep look into the things you may of have missed I really didn't want this end I bet nearly everyone feels same go back before the vandals and thieves get in there and do another episode
What a great Explore, so much stuff! 😊
Matt check out Pittsfield farmhouse aka the house of nightmares poulton on fylde Lancashire it's a time capsule
Another fantastic video thank you xx
Brilliant video really enjoyed it Thanks Matt and Bear
At 10:22, those are called tracing wheels. They're used by seamstresses to transfer the pattern onto fabric.
Your poor legs!! You should insure them for a couple-a-quid at least Matt! OJ....... another brilliant explore from you n Bear.... I'm going to rewatch it later and do some research. 😊 Xx
Best find matt is the embroidery post cards from the son. Beautiful!!
The painting looks like St Ursula Matt, wonderful explore 😊
I have some seriously old postcards around here somewhere, i think in the attic. They are from that era too. I didnt know they were worth anything but wouldnt even know who to sell them to.
Hi Matt and bear slot of old things in the home just love watching you and Andy and bear love Patricia curry Danville VA❤🎉
Hi Matt, did you see the camera inside the old clock at 56:47
Wow what a great explore again Matt. Love the old postcards from WW1. 😊
Loved the blue peacock vase in the cabinet you couldn’t reach. Those rolly things look to me like fabric cutters. Those old books were fabulous! I loved Babar when I was a kid. I have a sewing box just like that! It was my grandma’s and she willed it to me! Wonderful tribute to Andy! That was some cool wallpaper too. I love the Toulouse-Lautrec reference! My favorite artist! Don’t like fur! Fake fur is best. Some good furniture with good bones. I love when you show all the lovely old photos! I always believe all the photos you find should be saved! I know it would go against exploring etiquette but I would take them! I know, shame on me. That 1915 sewn cards were exquisite!! Love the bathroom tiles! Those vases on the beautiful fireplace were gorgeous, even if they were modern. That huge painting can and should be restored.😮
Blue Peter book..the face not recognized was well known in America 😊 He had a show called The Galloping Gourmet, Graham Kerr. I'm 68 and watched him in the 70s.
Fantastic video Matt, one of your best. ❤
Fantastic explore Matt…..you wear the hats well…but….I am looking forward to seeing Andy back wearing the hats with his funny expressions. So much stuff and goodies in this old house, no owls, but heaps of old things. Love you and little trampy Bear and it goes without saying, I love Andy also and hope he is OK. 💞💞💖💖🐾🐾
Awesome explore! The history told in the pics and the very house itself! My heart skipped a beat and I held my breath when Sweet Bear wasn't moving! I picked up my Little Sweetheart and held her very close! An amazing video Matt! And, please! Give Precious Bear an extra kiss on His Sweet little head for me. So glad the both of you are safe! Loves❤
With all the sewing stuff, materials, fur, leather punch tools she was obviously very crafty, look the blue faced clock great explore
Those postcards were amazing
Cracking explore, my Mum saw the plane crash in endcliffe park Sheffield, when she use to live nearby in the war, so all these war memories are priceless.
Why do you not like buttons? Just wondering! Its more like an museum than a home, some great items.
I'm old enough to say that I think the wooden figure at the beginning of the video is one of the Woodentops from the children's TV programme of the same name.
I think that it's "Mummy Woodentop" ! That would be the late Fifties I think.
Amazing find.I wish I'd been there.
Loved this explore .
Great video Matt, cheers
Great Explore Matt 😊
I do hope Bear is ok in these places he could easily get hurt or fall through the roof
2:10 min. Nice old things in the room !
That was absolutely amazing. Bear, i love you. Stop scaring your dad. Matt? Can you PLEASE PLEASE explain your dislike for buttons? ❤
So much history! I love it:)
