After Reigate we head to Coulsdon South croydon, to visit a location that fascinated me for many years, and this place was Cane Hill Mental Asylum.
Great Website about the history of cane hill:

Guys, as an American I appreciate the remembrance of those brave boys that died in the Flying Fortress. Great vids, thank you sir.
Great vid mate I used to go and wonder around an old mental hospital in hernebay just up the road from the first and last pub in herne I always remember seeing the old chairs in there with the leather restraint straps on it was a very intresting place like most places got knocked down and is now a small housing estate .
Very interesting place thanks for sharing
Nobody other than you can wear a hat with the things down. It looks rediculus when everybody else wears it. But when you wear it like that it looks kinda cool
A fantastic job you guys did.
+ThePresidentialTourist thanks for your support :)

Not my own but thought I'd share. Keep up the vids, really enjoy the channel.
Great stuff guys.
Those hospitals especially mental hospitals if the walls could speak I imagine they would tell a gruesome tale of abuse, and sadness.
If walls could scream
Do not fall 09:22 :P Once again a nice Vlog from you
Regards Matthias from Germany Your loyal fan :)

That's an interesting site. Was it's purpose to cover the strategic route of 'The Hog's Back'? I only ask, because I can remember seeing the remains of an Abbey near there that had been fortified with pillboxes, gun slits in walls, tank traps, and, most fascinating of all, wires stretched across a river, so that troops could not row up it at night. 'The Hog's Back' is important, because in theory, an army could use it to advance from the South, and cut London off from the North West. It was one of the great fears in WW2. I can't remember the name of the Abbey, but it's not far from Guildford. I've seen North Weald Mobilisation centre - it's not far from the old Underground line (Blake Hall station on it was once the least used station on the system - six passengers a day), and it's not far from the site of Ongar Radio, which I believe was a Marconi experimental site. I used to have family living in Ongar, all long gone now. My late father, of course, knew the surrounding countryside like the back of his hand. One of his most vivid memories was of seeing a Martin B-26 'Marauder' crashing in flames near his home, in the latter stages of the war. I was making an Airfix kit of one, and dad picked up the box lid, and said: "Do you know the nickname of this plane?" I told him that I didn't, and he continued: "They used to call it the 'Widow-Maker' - it had a very fast landing speed." He then told me of the crash he'd seen when he was about 16 or 17. I don't go to Ongar much - there are simply too many ghosts of the past there.
You pronounced it correctly dude . I live 10 mins away from Reigate ,sick vlog mate. You definitely need to come back you was so close to the d day landing bunker hq when you was on Reigate hill!!!!!!
Halstead one exists its in Fort Halstead owned by Qinetiq, good luck trying to get in there.
Farningham looks as though on google it has been surrounded by golf course.
Mertsham is on private land, same as Betchworth.
Box Hill is National trust.
Denbies is a youth education centre.
Henley Fort is an outdoor leisure centre.
The power of google.
Oh lads had you have walked just passed the wing tips on the left is a series of pill boxes & other defences. Reigate is a very local town to me near where I grow up. You are spot on with GHQ the entrance is behind the yew tree pub but blocked up. I've yet to find away in.
Good Job..enjoyed the video!..keep doing what you enjoy..then we can all enjoy it with you!
okay the intros that you guys do or gold don't stop doing them those are some of the best intros up said oh we just keep walking up the bush she did I don't know just your accent and also your humor sense of humor you guys have is awesome keep up the work!
so cool all these sites you can just go to n look around im sure in the usa they will charge for all this kinda stuff i enjoyed it like allways greatings from south carolina usa...
never been there but i live not far from there. i know there is some sort of shelter in turners hill cant say how big it is it was flooded when i went down there.
very nice video of the old cane hill hospital.but if you had gone a little further.you would have found the old ww2 shelters.fascinating place
love your videos keep up the good work!!!!!
All over England the great Victorian asylums have been bulldozed. Bonanza time for developers. History is the poorer :(
marty The same thing is happening in the US, probably for similar reasons. The old Danvers State Hospital was finally demolished after years of abandonment and I've seen videos of several other places that are abandoned but still exist, but who knows for how long.
you are my top fan keep videos comeing guys
you guys choose a good time to do this, rain was forecast later.
great blog i would love to join ur iks group
1898? That would have corresponded with some of the later Endicott fortifications in the US. France and the UK were seriously having issues with each other that late in history?
Round building is part of the Caterham Spring Water Company, Interesting history. Cheers, J.

David Bowie's brother Terry. About whom David named his album 'Aladin Sane'. If you say it out loud, the title's meaning is clear. One of the most poignant album titles ever, once you know it's backstory.
The wooden platforms resembled really old shields. Got me wondering about those strange mosaic tiles in the leaves now!
"I'm informed that the posher types pronounce Coulsdon Road, as 'Callsdown Road"... Talk about confusing!! All the best old boy!" :)
Cool and great video and interesting, you must give of some sort of sent as your walking about because people you know just pop out all over the place in surprise...... :-):-)Great video and thanks.

deep deen tunels dorking behind kowony travl
I never knew that about David's brother and we used to live down the road from the Jones's in Sundridge Park, I worked in a similar hospital in Essex called Warley, a grim old superhospital like Cane Hill, have you had a look at Royal Earlswood where the Queens cousins were locked up in?
🤔 it was built to stop the French invaders using the M25!!!
Nice Vlog, thanks for uploading 😎
This video was So Awsome and very interesting that asylum looked so beautiful so sad to see alot allot of the old buildings in bad shape and being torn down Much Love from The USA 🖒👍
Another good video, it's nice to see that you guys have so much respect for all things old. We to hate to see these beautiful building destroyed by vandals, it's sickening, How our time have changed,
another awesome vid chaps!
we used to ride our bikes around the one in farningham 20 odd years ago as it was only over the road from my house. believe it's still there but part of someone's garden now

Hello IKS, another very interesting and informative video. Good history. Keep up all your hard work and effort.
🤔 this fort are the rest in this series were obviously built to defend the M25 and act as an early "services"for British Troops and incase the Napolionic French decided to use the 25 on route up from Dover. (Nort Weald for the M11!) The only other one that survives is Cobham Fort,now known as Cobham services!! Great vid guys,keep them coming and happy new year to you. (and before anyone says anything it's all ment tounge in cheek)
Before these buildings at the below Google ref were built it was waste ground and the was a very deep bunker which I have mentioned in my other comments, this is on the A25 in Redhill town centre and we used to go down there when we went into town whilst I was at the Philanthropic school.
Any info would be appreciated as to what this was as it doesn't seem to appear on official lists of known sites.

Great video guys I really love the architecture of late Victorian forts. They have a real style of their own and have have fantastic brick work. Keep the great videos coming guys thankyou
I've been to ex RAF Grafton under wood and it is located near Kettering. Its also where the Memphis belle was based
Really like your videos mate. Wish I could walk with you through history.
Good vid! The weather reminds me of my corner of the world. Glad to see the national trust is keeping the place up. The asylum is quite interesting, too bad about the fire.
Nice one -good interesting film we have so much history keep up the good work !!!!!!!
Ever tipple a few before goin' out on these cold winter's day excursions? I mean; not to get drunk, but Medicinally; as Medicine, to stave off the chill.
Nice video.
I had a beard like yours till someone explained to me that you have to use disposable razors before you throw them away?
Hey guys, thanks for letting me see things I'll never be able to in my lifetime. I am a military and history freak. Strange, I can sit and look at a old building for hours. The oldest thing around here is my mother and law, who is also the biggest thing. Cheers from the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee.
Ian I'm sure that tower was built by E.S.W C or East Surrey water company,????
deep dean tunnels Dorking is world war 2 and was used to run the railways during the war it has a 60 foot spiral stair case Hidden in the woods tank traps all up bank 3 entrances used to employ 800 people in 2 shifts around the clock and had its own railway to the site and was part off the Deep dean estate is a wonderful place to visit proper woods and vines to fight trough but better access has now been put in hopefully it will restored to its former state one day loads off history their to be discovered still love to see it on your grate blogs maybe do Reigate command centre same day as not far away look for wood to Fridays seeing your new videos brilliant
Hello Ian and Chris, this is one of your best vlogs, excellent vidja, thanks.
Nice vlog man! fun channel :) US nerd here!
I have been in that fort many times before it was locked up, back in the 90's a great place.
I went to cane hill when I was about 12, my dad went to a model railway club run in a closed ward, how it has changed, very interesting.
