Being much older than you two, what I find fascinating is the generational difference on how you view things. Objects & styles which were commonplace 50 odd years ago when I was a child are viewed in your eyes with wonder and amazement (like the old washing machine in the kitchen, trying to work out what it was!). I also used to be sceptical of what I thought as "trespass" but the interest that you both show, and they way you treated the property with care and respect, not even moving anything that was in your way has changed my mind and I am glad you have recorded this house for posterity. I look forward to watching your other videos.
@@nativeamericanfeather9948 right, I doubt that a majority of the urbex channels I watch take or steal. It's utterly disrespectful to the explorer that this assumption would be made.
I've walked past this house many times and wondered if it was abandoned, never went too close, as it's pretty obvious. Nice to finally see what's inside 👍
I was born in 1967 and am 53. I cant believe how quickly times and values/morals have changed. It is unreal how things have blown up especially in the USA where I live ! Love your vids keep'em coming!
It is so cool that someone across the world gets a chance to see this. I will probably never make it out that way, but have the opportunity to see it because this video was made. Thanks.
It's beautiful to see your appreciation of the history. Seeing the walls from inside that once held family meals, laughter, tears, stories of each person that once called this home, it's a blessing. I enjoy walking through this with you. Thank you for the share and time you give to the video and homes. Stay safe in your travels
Amazing how the years just flee by so quickly. If you can close your eyes you can see the children and farmer and his wife that lived there. It would take a fortune to bring it back to life, but look what you have around you! Peace and serenity!

We had lucozade in bottles like that wrapped in orange cellophane as kids in the 60’s but we only drank it after being poorly and it was supposed to be a tonic to get you back on your feet.
Love your videos. Being a lady of a certain age, it's amazing seeing old bottles of food, medicines, wallpapers etc that I remember when I was a kid. Incidentally, the yellow swan match box on top of the piano, these had a perforated tab on the inside lip that you tore off. If I remember you had to collect a certain amount and could send off for something. Also, we did change to metric and we did once measure everything in ounces. I remember the licozade bottle like that, they used to be wrapped in orange cellophane. Best bit of being sick and off school. This is like a trip down memory Lane, love it!
I love this exploration. Spotted a few things my granny used to have in her home. She was born in 1909 and still had things from her childhood and inherited some of her mothers possessions. Brings a tear when an item suddenly takes me back to my grans home 40 years ago. She died in 2009 age 100 💗 also my favourite videos are the ones when you couple up with the girl. Apologies didnt catch her name. She is adorable and nice personality. Particularly loved this one as a female she noticed and searched through different style of the purses. Really enjoyed this. Thank you 💗

What an amazing house in a beautiful setting ,it would have been so busy in it’s day as a farm .it’s always sad to see it just left to decay ,all the memories left behind of people who lived their.Great find Adam an Lisa much love Ann xx
Makes me smile (and feel old) when you can't work out what something is that I recognise straightaway such as the washing machine. The way you said "Sanatogen" 😁. Thanks for the video I've watched many of yours. They're my favourite ones to watch.
Awesome video Adam and Lisa. The appliance you believed may have been a dryer was a wringer type washer. They'd wash the clothing in the tub and then wring them out in the apparatus attached to the washer. My Mother and Grandmother both used those back in the 50's. It's unfortunate, it appears vandals have once again did their damage and threw things around. I was hoping this place would remain a hidden gem in a beautiful part of Wales. The waterfall was so peaceful. Thank you so much for sharing.
Agreed, i always think about that when I see abandoned houses here in Sweden to. If there aren’t any relatives the money can surely be used by many charity’s. I hate seeing houses go to ruins :(
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE STONEWORK THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFULLY AND PAINSTAKINGLY PLACED WITH FUNCTIONAL PURPOSE !!! AND HOW THE LANDSCAPE ROLLS !!! I'M SURE THIS FAMILY TRULY POURED A LOT OF BLOOD * SWEAT * TEARS * AND PRAYERS INTO MAKING IT THEIR HOME !!! IT'S ABSOLUTELY HEARTBREAKING TO SEE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL HISTORICAL PLACE TO BE RECLAIMED BY NATURE !!! IF I HAD A CHANCE TO LIVE THERE I WOULD PRESERVE WHAT COULD BE SALVAGED !!! AND REBUILD THE REST !!! BY ADDING MY OWN BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS INTO THIS ONCE BEAUTIFUL DREAM !!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING MY FRIEND !!!
What a beautiful place! The stone work surrounding the home. All hand done back in the day. When you explore, you make note of the details and the amount of work involved in creating. Love your adventures!......Hugs from Canada
That's a beautiful stone home and all the stonework on the fences, barns and etc. are amazing! The location, the countryside there is so beautiful and breathtaking that it would be hard to leave there. Lancaster, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.
I think I’ve finished watching all your videos now, and restarted watching the ones that I loved most, and I truly believe that this house is the one I would want to buy and live in to pass down to my kids and grandkids. I can actually imagine what it looked like in its prime. The view alone is absolutely beautiful! And the creek is an added bonus! Thank you for always being so respectful and calm in these homes! And love it when Lisa and or Dale goes with! So much to say 😂 Basically just wanted to say a big Thank you for being real!
I was born 1950,and everything from your video I recognised,my mum didn’t have a washing machine just a dolly tub and posher and a mangle wringer like in yours in video and of course a coal fired boiler to boil the water for washing,and an outside toilet with no water and twin seats one for adults and a smaller one alongside for child,there was a metal container under each one to catch the poo and pee,paper was torn up newspaper pierced with a nail and string threaded through and hung on a nail hung from the door,the dilly man would come Monday morning and take out the cans and empty into the lorry called a dilly cart. We didn’t have fridges but meat safes so flies could not blow the meat (lay eggs),we had a pantry with a marble work surface that was always cool and milk in the summer was placed in a pale of water drawn from the well in the back yard,mum always washed our hair using water collected in a water butt from the roof in the back yard,our bacon was smoked and the flinches were hung from the kitchen beams,and unhooked and sliced as required,a piano was always in the tiny front room which was only used on a Sunday afternoon and mum would play it very well,chickens 6 of them kept us in eggs in a small hut in the yard,bath time was Sunday night in a galvanised bath in front of the fire one a week only 1cold water tap in the kitchen,the fire grate had a small oven for baking etc and a very small tank holding water with a tap on the front all heated by the fire grate,no electric but paraffin lamps and candles,as a kid I would be fascinated by the fire place at nigh with the lights out watching the flames dancing in the grate and as the coal burned there would be a hiss as gas burst from the heated coal and ignited casting shadows on the ceiling and walls,mum and dad had very little money but we were so happy together,all our neighbours in the row were the same no jealousy at all in those days we were all equal.and the women all wore turbans and a fag in the corner of there mouths and wearing a pinky,Monday was wash day and every yard hand a 3ft wall separating each back yard from there neighbours along the terraced row near the docks,and a washing line mum would use a damp rag to wipe the soot of the line before hanging out the washing and using wooden pegs made by the gypsies who would come around twice a year selling there wears,the farm house you visited was truly 5*,very up market and the view incredible,yes the houses were very cold in the winter very draughty and wintertime all the windows would have ice on the inside,to keep warm in bed mum used hot water bottles and she would put coats etc on top of our blankets as extra insulation,the milk would freeze on the doorstep after the milkman left it at 5am and it would push the bottle tops which were foil up,that as a kid was the next best thing to ice cream lols. Yes the times were hard but we knew no other,would I go back to the old times? Yes in a heart beat but I would make quite a few changes 😉
@@toddstafford9909 thank you sir,that was just how it was,and we were as fit as a butchers dog,simple food with no E numbers and fresh veg everyday for dinner,the dock gave a good supply of fresh fish cockles and muscules,and if you had a feritt fresh rabbit from the railway sidings,and of course trapping eels in the salt water river haven,not all bad in those days,take care Todd and stay safe.
@@toddstafford9909 No one would live like this you see. too much modern, you would say today. I enjoyed the read, I have European history in my ancestry my father side come from England
I always wonder who the ppl are. This was someone’s world. A whole story of ones whole family life was there. Seemed like a nice life. They probably grew old here and didn’t want to leave. Perhaps the offspring stayed till they left for the pearly gates as well. If we could only see it in its hay day all alive just for a moment.
@@thebosscatman7 Ha Ha ! I was working with some builders a couple of years ago, and they passed me a bit of 4x2 to cut a bit shorter. I asked how much he wanted off and he said about 2 mm. I said you mean "a midges dick " He laughed and said "You got it "
Hi Adam and Lisa how are you both doing?? nice to see Lisa back with you, i love how she explores with you, and when i watch your explores i don't ever watch them all the way through, either something caught my eye that i want to look up or i am looking something up for you, which isn't a problem i always enjoy finding out about old things they just fascinate me, that tooth cream looked unusual so i did a bit of research at it was from 1940's, we moves from metric in 1965, that homesick sheet music was from 1922, wow that barn was immaculate that water fall is so relaxing to watch i bet its great to sit by on a summers day, and the barns and the house have stood all that bad weather over the years and its still standing, great location, i would love to live here that scenery is just breath taking, until next time you both keep safe and next time wear gloves, tut tut, lol
I think this family must of been very happy here..... in Gods memory and never forgotten by him. (John 5:28,29) Thankyou for sharing, sad such decay, be nice to be done up again 🙏xx
What a beautiful verse and so true... John 5:28-29 - Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Just found your page, I follow another UK explorer page, but I quite enjoy yours and the way in which you explore. I'm from America, but spent a bit of time in England and miss it so this is very enjoyable. I'll be watching, thank you. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Wow. This is the first viewing of you and I loved it. My goodness this will fill some hours and reading comments. Thank you for the respect you show and it will be a learning curve for you and us.
Hi Adam & lisa, an amazing find, it must of been beautiful in its hay day, once again another great video & pictures, I remember the lucozade bottles like that they used to have yellow cellophane around them, much love Stay safe & Well xx
Matchbox 18.20old Swan vesta matches, I think you can still get them today,and yes,we did use pounds and ounces in this country.Also,that floor wasn't wood,it was linoleum!
13:50 _"I wonder if Britain used to be on ounces, I don't know..."_ Oh, you youngins 😂 Ha, ha... yeah we were. We also used Pounds, Shillings and Pence before decimalisation in 1971-ish [there were twelve pennies (d) to a shilling (sh) and twenty shillings to a pound (£), i.e. 240 pennies in £1]. Try getting your head around that during arithmetic at school when you're 9 years old... but we did. As an example: subtract £4, 3sh & 7d from £19, 12sh & 11d. Good luck! 😉
I was in England before the switch over, when I was a child. It was sooo hard to understand the money (you explained it well though). As I recall the coins got bigger as the amounts went up, so did the bills. It was insane but historical as well. There was even a 1/2 pence.
My favourite was the shilling, like the threpenny bit, still have a tin of old money somewhere. Started school in '68 so used the old money but never learned it, always sounded confusing, 240 pence to the pound!
@@wondergranny2299 No. At today's exchange rate, £1 (GBP) is approximately US$1.35. The 240 pennies I was referring to, were old English pennies, not American cents. Fyi, the word 'penny' is a nickname in US currency. The official title has been 'Cent' ever since the Constitution was ratified but before that time, the English penny was part of legal tender in the British colonies, however, the word 'penny' stuck in American dialect.
Wow, wow, wow what a setting and what a view!!! I would love to live there and again such a shame its being left to rot. Its unbelievable its been left for so long but seeing the items left including the old washing machine dates it to the 50's or 60"s. Absolutely amazing and thank you so much for sharing. 😁
How wonderful! Love all the relics and I like piecing the stories of its and the people's existence ... another show perhaps. That place is beyond lovely! Thank you for the explore!
The Elvis Presley mug on the piano has his birth date and death date. He died in 1977. So, looks like somebody occupied the home as recently as the late 1970s.
I think maybe a picknicker broke their own Elvis mug & abandoned it. The occasional person has been there & removed the bannisters & left a tin of salmon upstairs. May have removed a dresser, or searched for heirlooms, hence piles of plates on the floor.
@@eblita3698 That's sad! In that kind of home and land with beautiful view of nature...you would think there's no room for suicide but just pure happy life! Maybe the lack of human interaction got him/her. But yeah this home/land has all the beautiful view of nature the lake and waterfall and mountain...It'd be a perfect place for big family...cos the lack of people / loneliness does catch up to people. I grew up on the island in my grands house, it was a beautiful home for its time and only modern home stood outside the village, backyard was the ocean and on the other side of the land about less than 1/4 mile inland is the lagoon. It had 4 bedrooms 1 bathroom, a kitchen, big living room and glass windows the ones that kinda stacks up and you flip them together with little handle to open and close, It had double front door facing the road and one on the side to local island houses built outside the brickhouse...as local kitchen and two open houses with thatch roof cos it used to get so hot in the Brickhouse during the day. We only used it at night. the only thing it lacked was the electric..my grandpa (an engineer) built a windmill or watermill to run the electric with but didn't get to finish before he died. Anyways growing up where you don't get to see people much except on school days and Sundays..it was a peaceful life, the days were beautiful playing with nature and on the beach/lagoon but everytime the sun went down I had this sense of discomfort I still have till this day when I remember HOME at night. There was only me, lil bro, grandma and mom cos my dad often went away overseas so we didn't have a male at home for protection (what I had in mind) but luckily it was peaceful on the island nobody had bad intentions only looked out for each other. The only thing I was afraid of was the kids famous boogeyman of the dark ahaha.
American here with some ancestral Welsh in me...never been there though. It really is stunning. The waterfall, little bridge. The view with mist and green hills. The handlain stones. Thank you.:)
These videos always make me feel quite emotional. They all tell a human story, really poignant. I think this house would've been really nice in its day, beautiful countryside around, elevated position. Quite special. I hope the sheep are looked after by someone. 🐑 😊
WOW what a beautiful location. That is heaven. The stone work is amazing!!!!! Someone knew what they were doing. Someone was definitely there looking for money or/and jewelry.
Hiya, I've got quite hooked on your channel recently, and loving it. I had a couple of bits to share with you about this explore. You are definitely right about the military connection Adam, my Dad had trunks exactly like those ones and he was in the Navy. Initials on the trunk and all. The Lucozade bottle was iconic when I was growing up, most households kept one as a tonic after an illness. The bottle shape was instantly recognisable by touch for short sighted or blind people to identify it. Also, I grew up in the 70's and remember use by dates being added to food, down to some hoo-har that went on, not sure it was on packaging before then. Looking forward to more explores!
Love seeing inside these fascinating empty houses. I find it intriguing and sad when so many personal things are just abandoned. Unfortunately, I'm old enough to let you know that pounds and ounces are part of the imperial weights system which was in use until around mid 1960s in the uk. Look forward to seeing more visits 👍
I don't think anyone destroyed. That was a result of decay. the debris on he floor was under rotten wall shelving. The uploader was quite respectful imo.
I totally agree but I honestly think In this case it's age and decay. Nature always takes back what she lends in time, once damp and water get in it's a matter of time.
Amazing stonework! That must have been something back in it's day. The folks who lived there must have had money but I bet they worked hard to earn it. The waterfall...if you're going to be isolated, that's the kind of place to be. Thanks for sharing, that was really cool!
Thank you Mark for posting. I spent many a times near where you are. There's old mine shafts in Corris with abandoned belongings years old. I used to live in Australia and there's loads of abandoned villages. They filmed in one which was breathtaking. Called "Walkabout" by Nicholas Rogue. Starting Jenny Agutter. You must see the film as these villages are literally in the middle of nowhere.
Yes, we did use ounces. When I was at school the money was pounds, shillings and pence. The weight was pounds and ounces and the lengths were yeards, feet, inches .
@@annbrannigan3958 Hello, Ann, from Chicago, US. I have always loved your nation. Attended school in Berkshire as a young man in the early 1980s. Yes, I remember your shillings and pence. However, by the 80s, you were fully metric. :)
Adam, you know how to make a woman feel old lol. A lot of the items you find in some of these homes remind me of my childhood and makes me chuckle when you are amazed at what you find. By the way food products didn't have dates on them . This only started in the 70's if I remember correctly . Love your finds but also for the respect you show when exploring . Great entertainment, thank you
I love this, I’m from the USA & wasn’t sure where you are videoing, someone posted Wales. How beautiful it is. Remember to wear gloves, wash your hands & don’t touch your face or hair.
Such a beautiful location to live wonder why the owners family never renovated or rebuilt on the same land, the creek running past and the view alone would be worth it if you had the money.
Judging by the elderly looking items i put money that it was an elderly couple or widow, widower that eventually just passed away leaving the house abandoned. Many times of tbt didn't have kids or the kids married and moved away didn't want to or financially couldn't take the house
I absolutely LOVE the land and waterfall on the property. I can’t believe someone hasn’t scooped that property up and renovate or build a new house. It’s a breathtakingly beautiful property 😃
that machine in kitchen was washing mashing with mangle on top i used these every day at my moms was great for washing but mangle use to frighten the life out me is exactly same has my mums ,it got blocked with fluff once and mum had to try a siphoning pipe to let water out but she swallowed some in stead as came out so fast she had runs for a week !! bought back so many memory's , lovely view and water running down from water fall stunning place if fixed ,lisa's face at 10:53 was so funny lol grand girl she's a star
What a fantastic find that wonderful welsh cottage was. I remember Santanogen, it tasted bloody awful. I think it was used as a vitamin supplement!! Great explore Adam & Lisa 😊
What a great location and explore! 👍🏻 The washing machine that you found in the kitchen was in fact an old 1950s Hotpoint washer and mangle. The mangle us the bit on the top and it would swing out to sit over the drum when in use Whirlpool had a very similar, if not the same model on sale at the same time but it was sold in bright white and not the cream colour as you found.
Wow wow 👏 😍 time stood still ... Time capsule...... beautiful place .... mmmm wonder why they or he just disappeared 🤔 😕 ...... thanks 😊 for the tour guys ...fabulous..👍👍👍
new sub from across the pond [Eire] - loved this .. Brilliant find , definitely looks like squatters and looters have had their turn in it also with the modern looking sleeping bag , plastic bottles, lanterns on the windowsills , and some sickly person or people due to the amount of tonics and medicines .

This has probably already been said, but Britain started using the Metric System in 1965. Prior to that, Britain used the Imperial system like the US

And then we'd use the cellophane to look through to see the world with an orange tint. 👍🏻👍🏻

I don't think most food packets were dated before latish eighties.
Thinking use/sell by dates came in 1972

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE STONEWORK THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFULLY AND PAINSTAKINGLY PLACED WITH FUNCTIONAL PURPOSE !!!
AND HOW THE LANDSCAPE ROLLS !!!
I'M SURE THIS FAMILY TRULY POURED A LOT OF BLOOD * SWEAT * TEARS * AND PRAYERS INTO MAKING IT THEIR HOME !!!
IT'S ABSOLUTELY HEARTBREAKING TO SEE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL HISTORICAL PLACE TO BE RECLAIMED BY NATURE !!!
IF I HAD A CHANCE TO LIVE THERE I WOULD PRESERVE WHAT COULD BE SALVAGED !!!
AND REBUILD THE REST !!!
BY ADDING MY OWN BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS INTO THIS ONCE BEAUTIFUL DREAM !!!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING MY FRIEND !!!
What a beautiful place! The stone work surrounding the home. All hand done back in the day. When you explore, you make note of the details and the amount of work involved in creating. Love your adventures!......Hugs from Canada
Cant get over how gorgeous the landscape is......beautiful area......imagine waking up to that view every day.
This house is so beautiful, really looks as if it could be in a movie, thank you for not moving/taking anything left inside
Wringer washing machine... Not dryer. So beautiful!!!!!
That's a beautiful stone home and all the stonework on the fences, barns and etc. are amazing! The location, the countryside there is so beautiful and breathtaking that it would be hard to leave there. Lancaster, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.
I think I’ve finished watching all your videos now, and restarted watching the ones that I loved most, and I truly believe that this house is the one I would want to buy and live in to pass down to my kids and grandkids. I can actually imagine what it looked like in its prime. The view alone is absolutely beautiful! And the creek is an added bonus!
Thank you for always being so respectful and calm in these homes! And love it when Lisa and or Dale goes with! So much to say 😂 Basically just wanted to say a big Thank you for being real!
I love how you and Lisa look into the things you see. Lots of detail. Thanks, carry on and be safe. ❤️ What an amazing place!
I was born 1950,and everything from your video I recognised,my mum didn’t have a washing machine just a dolly tub and posher and a mangle wringer like in yours in video and of course a coal fired boiler to boil the water for washing,and an outside toilet with no water and twin seats one for adults and a smaller one alongside for child,there was a metal container under each one to catch the poo and pee,paper was torn up newspaper pierced with a nail and string threaded through and hung on a nail hung from the door,the dilly man would come Monday morning and take out the cans and empty into the lorry called a dilly cart.
We didn’t have fridges but meat safes so flies could not blow the meat (lay eggs),we had a pantry with a marble work surface that was always cool and milk in the summer was placed in a pale of water drawn from the well in the back yard,mum always washed our hair using water collected in a water butt from the roof in the back yard,our bacon was smoked and the flinches were hung from the kitchen beams,and unhooked and sliced as required,a piano was always in the tiny front room which was only used on a Sunday afternoon and mum would play it very well,chickens 6 of them kept us in eggs in a small hut in the yard,bath time was Sunday night in a galvanised bath in front of the fire one a week only 1cold water tap in the kitchen,the fire grate had a small oven for baking etc and a very small tank holding water with a tap on the front all heated by the fire grate,no electric but paraffin lamps and candles,as a kid I would be fascinated by the fire place at nigh with the lights out watching the flames dancing in the grate and as the coal burned there would be a hiss as gas burst from the heated coal and ignited casting shadows on the ceiling and walls,mum and dad had very little money but we were so happy together,all our neighbours in the row were the same no jealousy at all in those days we were all equal.and the women all wore turbans and a fag in the corner of there mouths and wearing a pinky,Monday was wash day and every yard hand a 3ft wall separating each back yard from there neighbours along the terraced row near the docks,and a washing line mum would use a damp rag to wipe the soot of the line before hanging out the washing and using wooden pegs made by the gypsies who would come around twice a year selling there wears,the farm house you visited was truly 5*,very up market and the view incredible,yes the houses were very cold in the winter very draughty and wintertime all the windows would have ice on the inside,to keep warm in bed mum used hot water bottles and she would put coats etc on top of our blankets as extra insulation,the milk would freeze on the doorstep after the milkman left it at 5am and it would push the bottle tops which were foil up,that as a kid was the next best thing to ice cream lols.
Yes the times were hard but we knew no other,would I go back to the old times? Yes in a heart beat but I would make quite a few changes 😉
You paint a masterpiece with your words.
@@toddstafford9909 thank you sir,that was just how it was,and we were as fit as a butchers dog,simple food with no E numbers and fresh veg everyday for dinner,the dock gave a good supply of fresh fish cockles and muscules,and if you had a feritt fresh rabbit from the railway sidings,and of course trapping eels in the salt water river haven,not all bad in those days,take care Todd and stay safe.
@@toddstafford9909 No one would live like this you see. too much modern, you would say today. I enjoyed the read, I have European history in my ancestry my father side come from England
Love Reading this thankyou for sharing
Typo-pinkie should say pinky.
Military chests and bags. Definitely an ex squaddie. The Chivers factory closed in 1977. Great video. The pronunciation of Sanatogen was my favourite.
Yes I chuckled at that one but I suppose it's a fair enough attempt!
@@Londonfogey Yes indeed.
I always wonder who the ppl are. This was someone’s world. A whole story of ones whole family life was there. Seemed like a nice life. They probably grew old here and didn’t want to leave. Perhaps the offspring stayed till they left for the pearly gates as well. If we could only see it in its hay day all alive just for a moment.
Amazing house! All that stuff left behind. The UK used to use imperial measurement, the metric system only came in in the 70s.
and the u.k. has went down hill ever since.
@@thebosscatman7 Ha Ha ! I was working with some builders a couple of years ago, and they passed me a bit of 4x2 to cut a bit shorter. I asked how much he wanted off and he said about 2 mm. I said you mean "a midges dick " He laughed and said "You got it "
This place is so beautiful so magical!!!!!! Thank y’all so much for all you do to keep history alive
Hi Adam and Lisa how are you both doing?? nice to see Lisa back with you, i love how she explores with you, and when i watch your explores i don't ever watch them all the way through, either something caught my eye that i want to look up or i am looking something up for you, which isn't a problem i always enjoy finding out about old things they just fascinate me, that tooth cream looked unusual so i did a bit of research at it was from 1940's, we moves from metric in 1965, that homesick sheet music was from 1922, wow that barn was immaculate that water fall is so relaxing to watch i bet its great to sit by on a summers day, and the barns and the house have stood all that bad weather over the years and its still standing, great location, i would love to live here that scenery is just breath taking, until next time you both keep safe and next time wear gloves, tut tut, lol
Bless your heart. It’s an old washing machine. Grew up with one like that. Such respect for everyone’s old property always. Great job once again
Stunning!!! The creek and hills. Omg.
I think this family must of been very happy here..... in Gods memory and never forgotten by him. (John 5:28,29) Thankyou for sharing, sad such decay, be nice to be done up again 🙏xx
What a beautiful verse and so true...
John 5:28-29 - Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
You guys are so adorable for stating the bible verse
Thankyou joshy
It would have been nice if they had tried to trace the past ownet from the old rations book.
Just found your page, I follow another UK explorer page, but I quite enjoy yours and the way in which you explore. I'm from America, but spent a bit of time in England and miss it so this is very enjoyable. I'll be watching, thank you. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Wow. This is the first viewing of you and I loved it. My goodness this will fill some hours and reading comments. Thank you for the respect you show and it will be a learning curve for you and us.
Thanks to him for sharing I enjoyed watching this video alots , how are you doing Val Wright I hope you’re safe from the virus?
Excellent explore guys, you just have to give Lisa her dues she is very brave 🤗
I love that you take your time so we can really see what's there.
Hi Adam & lisa, an amazing find, it must of been beautiful in its hay day, once again another great video & pictures, I remember the lucozade bottles like that they used to have yellow cellophane around them, much love Stay safe & Well xx
Oh gosh that waterfall was magical such an amazing place thank you both for sharing that
Matchbox 18.20old Swan vesta matches, I think you can still get them today,and yes,we did use pounds and ounces in this country.Also,that floor wasn't wood,it was linoleum!
Yes well spotted i thought it looked liked lino too !
13:50 _"I wonder if Britain used to be on ounces, I don't know..."_ Oh, you youngins 😂 Ha, ha... yeah we were.
We also used Pounds, Shillings and Pence before decimalisation in 1971-ish [there were twelve pennies (d) to a shilling (sh) and twenty shillings to a pound (£), i.e. 240 pennies in £1]. Try getting your head around that during arithmetic at school when you're 9 years old... but we did. As an example: subtract £4, 3sh & 7d from £19, 12sh & 11d. Good luck! 😉
I was in England before the switch over, when I was a child. It was sooo hard to understand the money (you explained it well though). As I recall the coins got bigger as the amounts went up, so did the bills. It was insane but historical as well. There was even a 1/2 pence.
My favourite was the shilling, like the threpenny bit, still have a tin of old money somewhere. Started school in '68 so used the old money but never learned it, always sounded confusing, 240 pence to the pound!
Well explained. I enjoy the language side and I did chuckle over the hard G in the Sanatogen tonic there. Bless them. They seem respectful however.
Is a pound 2 dollars and 40 cents?
@@wondergranny2299 No. At today's exchange rate, £1 (GBP) is approximately US$1.35. The 240 pennies I was referring to, were old English pennies, not American cents. Fyi, the word 'penny' is a nickname in US currency. The official title has been 'Cent' ever since the Constitution was ratified but before that time, the English penny was part of legal tender in the British colonies, however, the word 'penny' stuck in American dialect.
What amazing place you found beautiful views sad things were left behind
That fireplace at around 22:32 is amazing! I love the sunflowers 🌻 on it!!
Wow, wow, wow what a setting and what a view!!! I would love to live there and again such a shame its being left to rot. Its unbelievable its been left for so long but seeing the items left including the old washing machine dates it to the 50's or 60"s. Absolutely amazing and thank you so much for sharing. 😁
Awww 🥰 it’s so beautiful I enjoyed watching this video so much Marion. Hello how are you doing with your family I hope you’re safe from the covid?
How wonderful! Love all the relics and I like piecing the stories of its and the people's existence ... another show perhaps. That place is beyond lovely! Thank you for the explore!
The Elvis Presley mug on the piano has his birth date and death date. He died in 1977. So, looks like somebody occupied the home as recently as the late 1970s.
I think maybe a picknicker broke their own Elvis mug & abandoned it. The occasional person has been there & removed the bannisters & left a tin of salmon upstairs. May have removed a dresser, or searched for heirlooms, hence piles of plates on the floor.
@@sarahstrong7174 In another comment (Oxfords Finest Explorer) we learn that the last person living there took his own life "only" 40 years ago.
@@eblita3698 that’s sad that the last known occupant took their own life.
@@betsygodwin8938 And also that different people have gone through the old things hoping to find treasure but with never a thought of past tragedies.
@@eblita3698 That's sad! In that kind of home and land with beautiful view of nature...you would think there's no room for suicide but just pure happy life! Maybe the lack of human interaction got him/her.
But yeah this home/land has all the beautiful view of nature the lake and waterfall and mountain...It'd be a perfect place for big family...cos the lack of people / loneliness does catch up to people. I grew up on the island in my grands house, it was a beautiful home for its time and only modern home stood outside the village, backyard was the ocean and on the other side of the land about less than 1/4 mile inland is the lagoon.
It had 4 bedrooms 1 bathroom, a kitchen, big living room and glass windows the ones that kinda stacks up and you flip them together with little handle to open and close, It had double front door facing the road and one on the side to local island houses built outside the brickhouse...as local kitchen and two open houses with thatch roof cos it used to get so hot in the Brickhouse during the day. We only used it at night.
the only thing it lacked was the electric..my grandpa (an engineer) built a windmill or watermill to run the electric with but didn't get to finish before he died.
Anyways growing up where you don't get to see people much except on school days and Sundays..it was a peaceful life, the days were beautiful playing with nature and on the beach/lagoon but everytime the sun went down I had this sense of discomfort I still have till this day when I remember HOME at night. There was only me, lil bro, grandma and mom cos my dad often went away overseas so we didn't have a male at home for protection (what I had in mind) but luckily it was peaceful on the island nobody had bad intentions only looked out for each other. The only thing I was afraid of was the kids famous boogeyman of the dark ahaha.
American here with some ancestral Welsh in me...never been there though. It really is stunning. The waterfall, little bridge. The view with mist and green hills. The handlain stones. Thank you.:)
These videos always make me feel quite emotional. They all tell a human story, really poignant. I think this house would've been really nice in its day, beautiful countryside around, elevated position. Quite special.
I hope the sheep are looked after by someone. 🐑 😊
another good find😀😀 so cool when everything's left, I've only found a handful of houses with everything left. it gives a wonderful feeling.😊😊
you have a magical feeling in your movies.😄😄
It is lovely the way you filmed the waterfall at the beginning.
Wear rubber gloves n get good protective air masks, that's black mold.
Yeah John, these two deffo need to buy some gloves!
Kids are so dumb!
mate its only bad if you live with the mould.
im sure they will come to no harm being in there for a few seconds.
With hi viz & hard hats. We don't want anyone breaking HSE.
@@Littlelamb2023 Exactly! Drama queens :)
Your intros and the music are some of the best i have seen and herd great job it all comes together nicely.
WOW what a beautiful location. That is heaven. The stone work is amazing!!!!! Someone knew what they were doing. Someone was definitely there looking for money or/and jewelry.
Hiya, I've got quite hooked on your channel recently, and loving it. I had a couple of bits to share with you about this explore. You are definitely right about the military connection Adam, my Dad had trunks exactly like those ones and he was in the Navy. Initials on the trunk and all. The Lucozade bottle was iconic when I was growing up, most households kept one as a tonic after an illness. The bottle shape was instantly recognisable by touch for short sighted or blind people to identify it. Also, I grew up in the 70's and remember use by dates being added to food, down to some hoo-har that went on, not sure it was on packaging before then. Looking forward to more explores!
Beautiful beautiful beautiful scenery. OMG Wales is a beautiful place. Another great video Adam, really enjoyed watching it 😊👍
Love seeing inside these fascinating empty houses. I find it intriguing and sad when so many personal things are just abandoned. Unfortunately, I'm old enough to let you know that pounds and ounces are part of the imperial weights system which was in use until around mid 1960s in the uk. Look forward to seeing more visits 👍
Why can't people explore and leave? Destroying is so sad😔
I don't think anyone destroyed. That was a result of decay. the debris on he floor was under rotten wall shelving. The uploader was quite respectful imo.
I totally agree but I honestly think In this case it's age and decay. Nature always takes back what she lends in time, once damp and water get in it's a matter of time.
Amazing stonework! That must have been something back in it's day. The folks who lived there must have had money but I bet they worked hard to earn it. The waterfall...if you're going to be isolated, that's the kind of place to be. Thanks for sharing, that was really cool!
Thank you Mark for posting. I spent many a times near where you are. There's old mine shafts in Corris with abandoned belongings years old. I used to live in Australia and there's loads of abandoned villages. They filmed in one which was breathtaking. Called "Walkabout" by Nicholas Rogue. Starting Jenny Agutter. You must see the film as these villages are literally in the middle of nowhere.
“I wonder if Britain used to be in ounces.” LOL, the British conceived the ounce, inch and pound.
Yes, we did use ounces. When I was at school the money was pounds, shillings and pence. The weight was pounds and ounces and the lengths were yeards, feet, inches .
Sorry John, I misunderstood your message.
We still are pounds and ounces. Luckily GCSE maths teaches conversion of all imperial measurements to metric (including miles into kilometres 😉).
@@annbrannigan3958 Hello, Ann, from Chicago, US. I have always loved your nation. Attended school in Berkshire as a young man in the early 1980s. Yes, I remember your shillings and pence. However, by the 80s, you were fully metric. :)
3ft is a metre baby
I was very impressed how you took your time to really look around well , best i've seen. Even love the background music you chose , very haunting
no one is talking of the cows and sheeps arround that amazing your videos are absolutely amazing thumbs up
Wow that’s a magic place to live, great video guys xx
Adam, you know how to make a woman feel old lol. A lot of the items you find in some of these homes remind me of my childhood and makes me chuckle when you are amazed at what you find. By the way food products didn't have dates on them . This only started in the 70's if I remember correctly . Love your finds but also for the respect you show when exploring . Great entertainment, thank you
I love this, I’m from the USA & wasn’t sure where you are videoing, someone posted Wales. How beautiful it is. Remember to wear gloves, wash your hands & don’t touch your face or hair.
Such a beautiful location to live wonder why the owners family never renovated or rebuilt on the same land, the creek running past and the view alone would be worth it if you had the money.
Judging by the elderly looking items i put money that it was an elderly couple or widow, widower that eventually just passed away leaving the house abandoned. Many times of tbt didn't have kids or the kids married and moved away didn't want to or financially couldn't take the house
Often the propety was rented, and not relet by the owner.
What a wonderful property and Lisa is a jewel and wicked smart. You make a grand couple. Thanks for another wonderful video.
What a find guys beautiful place love your videos keep up the good work and stay safe tha k for sharing
I absolutely LOVE the land and waterfall on the property. I can’t believe someone hasn’t scooped that property up and renovate or build a new house. It’s a breathtakingly beautiful property 😃
that machine in kitchen was washing mashing with mangle on top i used these every day at my moms was great for washing but mangle use to frighten the life out me is exactly same has my mums ,it got blocked with fluff once and mum had to try a siphoning pipe to let water out but she swallowed some in stead as came out so fast she had runs for a week !! bought back so many memory's , lovely view and water running down from water fall stunning place if fixed ,lisa's face at 10:53 was so funny lol grand girl she's a star
The music accompanying this sends me to sleep. What a property, what an explore. I would happily live in this old place x
What a fantastic find that wonderful welsh cottage was. I remember Santanogen, it tasted bloody awful. I think it was used as a vitamin supplement!! Great explore Adam & Lisa 😊
Absolutely loved this place!!!!!!! I would love to live there! The waterfalls are beautiful and so peaceful! Thank you Adam and Lisa!
What an amazing find! Good job!
Loved this one Adam and Lisa. You do make me nervous watching you step on the rotten floors😱🤣
What a great location and explore! 👍🏻
The washing machine that you found in the kitchen was in fact an old 1950s Hotpoint washer and mangle. The mangle us the bit on the top and it would swing out to sit over the drum when in use Whirlpool had a very similar, if not the same model on sale at the same time but it was sold in bright white and not the cream colour as you found.
Wow wow 👏 😍 time stood still ... Time capsule...... beautiful place .... mmmm wonder why they or he just disappeared 🤔 😕 ...... thanks 😊 for the tour guys ...fabulous..👍👍👍
Beautiful place. Be careful, black mold is dangerous.
That was such a beautiful view there, house was quite large but such a shame about decay, great to see things that I remember from my childhood 👍
Im in love with every part of this explore. Big hello to you both from New York!
What an absolutely stunning setting for a home. Gorgeous!
Loved the explore mate. What a lovely home that would make.
Thanks for bringing us along guys. Another Fantastic one! Imagine sitting out on a sunny morning with a brew, looking out over your land. Awesome! 😂👍🤝

This property is Gorgeous. Babbling Brook right there. Pretty Cooooool...
new sub from across the pond [Eire] - loved this ..
Brilliant find , definitely looks like squatters and looters have had their turn in it also with the modern looking sleeping bag , plastic bottles, lanterns on the windowsills , and some sickly person or people due to the amount of tonics and medicines .
Wondered why they didn't date check the Lemonade bottle?
