Abandoned House Frozen in time he sacrificed his happiness to serve his country

[@kennethbarker852]

great video to watch thank you🌏

[@browneyes9930]

Thank you for not leaking the locations. There is a lot of money in that house. Those old military jackets were worth a lot on their own.

[@Cindy-luvjpfe]

That was so sweet of you to put the uniforms in the trunk so they wouldn't get ruined. Thanks for posting this it was so heart wrenching and it nice to have Mark back exploring with you.

[@rugrat1235]

AMAZING! That abandoned house is a treasure trove of valuable antiques/collectibles. There's a small fortune in there. It's a shame that it's been left sitting there to rot.

[@enchantanddelight1819]

You guys are so respectful to the owners spirit and belongings from another life time. Thanks for sharing.

[@tanyaabram8336]

I think you were very respectful putting the uniforms into the chest to protect them, how respectful you are to the people and the buildings you explore is one of the reasons I enjoy watching you

[@ExploringAndMe]

Wow sweet becareful you almost slipped 😱

[@Hairnicks]

Right Dave, old codger is going to answer some of your questions. The old sink is called a Belfast sink. You don't have generals in the air force so he would have been army. I thought the writings were very emotive, glad I have 8 kids even though it cost me 3 wives. Dustbin men jackets were called donkey jackets. The army uniforms you found were WW2 battle dress pattern, I'm really glad you put them in that chest. The big coat was a great coat, have been glad of that many times, very warm and heavy, popular in the 70's for teenagers, we thought we looked great but we looked like twats. The coat with the crown on the sleeve represents a Warrant officer class two, so maybe he was commissioned during WW2 and rose in the ranks after that, unless "The General" was a nickname for an old soldier. The toilet pan in the wooden box is called a commode. Finally, the implanting instrument was for when we used to inject cockerels with a hormone tablet in the neck to chemically castrate them, it made them grow fat and they tasted great, eventually it was banned so who knows what it did to our balls, still, never mind.... I still had 8 kids!! Bless you guys, love your explores. Hope my ancient memories help.

[@johnnyloco970]

I'm a bit of a WWII nerd myself but I'm more US involvement since my father served with the 101st airborne. I'm thinking the photo on the ship maybe of Bob's company and is a transport ship. Where is anyone's guess I could only think of a few places the British were involved and sent by ship. Finland, France, North Africa and Italy but I'm sure there's more I don't know of. My father brought back his wool jacket that I would play with as a child but most of his clothes he had on were ruined as he was badly wounded in Bastogne.

[@joannmello5085]

Good video Dave bless that man for serving his country

[@marisolferrer1965]

Hhello abandoned World Exproled Beautiful abandoned like like like aloviou love

[@cassandralefavi219]

You have to surround yourself with what makes you happy.

[@leeannbrumfield]

Hello Dave and Mark Still watching from West Virginia 🇺🇸 in the video you was calling a bed warmer a bed pan I do believe hopefully you will read this since it's a few months has passed I wish y'all good health and please be safe and careful out there 🇺🇸🥰🙏🙏🙏

[@catheyahannas3240]

I love when you fella's find old places in Scotland. I'm only 3rd generation American on my Dads side of the family, all of his kin hails from Scotland so it's there I'm interested. May I suggest you fella's take something with you to clear some of the brush and over growth out of your way when necessary so you can better access these discoveries? It's only a suggestion, maybe a set of large pruning shears that will cut through that mess easily, the shears will fit nicely in your backpacks. I also want to say you boy's are doing a excellent job and I find your behavior very commendable because you are so respectful of the people who once lived and their property. Your Mothers should be proud to have son's like you.

[@anttickwitty]

Absolutely loved this video. This is old school AWE. What an incredible find. Great to see you both back in action together. I think this is one of my favourite houses on AWE. The sink in the kitchen is called a Belfast sink. The Lux Flakes are soap flakes for hand washing clothes. The agricultural machine near the end is a sowing machine for spreading seeds or fertiliser pellets. There were some really nice antiques in there. There was a lovely “Work Box” and an old Victorian bed warming pan. Bob was a man of taste. Imagine the stories he could tell. Most likely fought in WW2.

[@kathiecleveland5614]

Hello from Saskatchewan Canada - We love yo guys!

[@paulaarmendariz8001]

I have to commend you for the respect you have when you enter into these beautiful sad abandoned homes. I completely agree with you when you say that it's sad that these old military uniforms are just left laying around. I totally agree. They are pieces of history from years ago. They should be in a museum type of facility to be enjoyed by others. I love seeing things like that. I c a n just about feel the pride that thry were worn with. You get me? It's so very sad that it just sits there abandoned and forgotten. It's so sad. I wish I could just up and leave to explore these places with you. It's gotta be wild and creepy at times. I can do without the creepy. I sometimes get creeped out just looking at some of these places. I can only imagine how it would feel like to actually be there exploring. Another thing that bothers me is things like this doesn't even phase the millennials of today. They don't see or feel the sadness that comes from seeing this. It's kinda sad. They have no clue and sadly they probably never will. 😔 anyway guys keep up with your explorations and the videos you bring to us. It's great exciting stuff. Love it all. Much respect and stay safe on/ in your travels!!he definitely had a clock problem. Lol 😆 🤣

[@donnachristakakis8232]

I totally love this video and stories due to war they are heroes for England I love the home and all the old antiques and war memorabilia awesome work Dave and marky ❤ Dave less we forget stay safe

[@msc8663]

Glad to see you both together again. Love you guys be safe.

[@denisewatson5295]

I'm so glad that you and Mark are exploring together again. I loved 😍 this old farm house 🏠. Stay safe 👌👍🙏❤💓💙

[@carolb29]

agree it wouldn't take much to fix that place up. sad letter you read, that'll be me someday, not married, no family but for right now I love my life.

[@vikkilynnconwell8620]

You know you can be lonely but still be happy and content in your own way and maybe that's what Bob was

[@sunnystiver2897]

Cheers to you and all fellow fans ❤🎉 great job by great peeps 👏

[@neecy1000]

Dave, when you picked up the small photo of the little boy and said this is probably Bob, you can hear a faint voice...great explore, good to see you both back 🙂

[@Butrcup98]

What a sad letter by him. A battle worn lonely soldier.

[@rebeccaward7305]

Also, I too am glad you two are back together as it should be! X

[@brendagilliland5602]

Glad to see you both , that was amazing house ,such a sad letter you read out God bless Bob xx

[@anitaward6724]

Good to see you both exploring together again keep exploring the respect you show these time capsules is brilliant. Them lux flakes are what they used to wash clothes. Respect to you both

[@cindyjaynewright1029]

Yay!! You and marky back together exploring again. You both have so much respect for other people's belongings.. Keep it up love you two Loads.. Altogether now.. Country roads.. Take me home... To a place where I belong... West Virginia mountain mama.. Take me home Take me home... Xx

[@nigelstringerNVS]

Another great video I am keeping up with you guys.

[@simonfea2]

I'm 45 and married, but we don't have kids and probably never will unless we adopt. Bob's note about being alone touched me and made my cry because I very much understand, Ill be in the same position someday. Poor soul. I hope he went into a care home where he made some friends and was taken care of in his last years.

[@paulinesanford1910]

I love what you do...wish I could...i love history God bless

[@DinkTank369]

Very respectful ✅

[@robincarneyoakland]

I found Marks comment, "Quite Jarring" hilarious

[@kathleenconnolly8226]

This place looks familiar. Glad to see you again

[@elainesiracusa1098]

Love this! You two rock! Love, Elaine

[@christopherwinstanley1348]

This video reminds me of a WW2 soldier I nursed years ago. He was a prisoner of war. There are similarities with collective hobbies he had nostalgic postcards and was forever writing memos. It looks to me that this person had either passed on, or had to go into a care facility. Those that got through the second world war have a resilience. The had rail on the stair way gives indication that he was advanced in years, often the move to a care facility is quite an ordeal, and it's not uncommon for them to develop an acute confusion, applying adaptability they want routine and their environment the same. Sometimes there homes is usually get sorted by the relatives, or it stagnate. The person I nursed had very little personal belonging and we could never locate any family members, bit of a mystery really. He had never married, there was a picture of him as a young man with a child he would refer to as that little boy. We did a lot for him, sorted out his leg ulcers and he lived to be in his 90s. Emotive, when he passed on I saw his silhouette in full military uniform and I was comfortable with that... he stood for and the impression he left me with was like a salute. They are very private people, I would never pri into those memoes. The similarities are the same. Thank for posting, very interesting

[@tammyasbury6517]

That is sad ,he seemed really lonely , hopefully it wasn't like that all the time and it was a way he was feeling that day he wrote the letter ,thanks for bringing your videos to us

[@sandym8787]

Makes me sad for all those injured and traumatized by war . My only Uncle was killed in war and his body never recovered or returned to his family . My grandparents never had closure , neither did my Dad , don't have much hope anymore , although I was was able to get him a plaque in the local Veteran's Cemetery ...

[@auroresix7915]

Yessssss!!!!! Love from France 🇫🇷

[@lotusdolphin]

Bob just shut you out of the bedroom! That was a great explore I really enjoyed it!

[@cecoya]

It looks like he repaired clocks and watches by the amounts of them around. He was probably very happy for a long time. Great explore Dave and Marky I love the way you explore and still have so much respect for both the living and the dead. Have a wonderful day and stay safe.

[@elizabethanneingle7153]

Completely love and respect the fact you put those army blouses in the chest not everyone would have that compassion and respect. Truly beautiful house and such a shame the owner felt alone hate to think that theres so many people out there that feel like that. If anyone ever feels like that my dms are always open and i will always listen and speak to you xx

[@maxine-charliemaxcaulfield]

Great explore and so good to see Mark back out.

[@Hazelvlog0.6]

Hello watching from Philippines I love your videos 😊

[@Justmarrie87]

Some stuff need to be in a museum. History related. I find that important.

[@blueneeson9888]

[@jeanhenderson1277]

Them camodes are so old and very fancy there’s so many interesting things in that house

[@norahglavin5226]

Markie be brave the spirits are coming

[@euginaholden1193]

Loved this cottage ashamed it was abandoned good job guys BE WATCHING❤️

[@leannageyer943]

The old pictures have to be relatives from the parents who received them from their families. It’s so sad there is no one left to pass on the family legacy. Looks like it was a good home in the past, extremely well built as most of your explores shows. Not like in the US. There are mansions built in the 2000s and much later that are leaking, falling down messes. Your respect for the places you go in is so ADMIRABLE. Great to see the two of you together again. Much love to you both. ❤️💕 from the US, and the state of Missouri. I’m a new subscriber and you never let me down when I need reminding how precious life is and how important family is. Great video, thank you guys so much for sharing ❤️❤️.

[@Kittydoc90]

This was another WONDERFUL video-you approach your finds with such care, reverence, and compassion for the long- passed owners. A favor please, however? Could you please slow down your camera movement? I am soooooo seasick from watching but I didn’t want to give up! Bob was a man of taste. His choice of cologne - 4711 - is still available today and has been around for decades. My German grandfather wore it and I wore it for many years in remembrance of him-it has such a light, clean, and fresh scent that women can wear it too. Thanks for another terrific video!

[@mygreatescape9617]

It's awesome to see the house has not been vandalized and everything is left the way the man left it

[@gaynor3976]

I remember those Lion Brand notepaper pads. The sink was a Belfast sink. Poor man being on his own, just hope he was happy with his life. Great explore, nice to see you both out again xx

[@josefizquierdo6139]

The letter got me a little bit teary-eyed.

[@samanthacastle4192]

Awesome once again. Love the shutting doors 🚪 lol .

[@misssparky5574]

My dear mam, ' RIP'. Used lux flakes because it was specially made for wool and silks. She used to knit cardinals for me and my sisters, and jumpers for my brothers. Sometimes she used a different powder called acdo that was gentle on woolens and delicate fabrics. Another interesting video from you and mark, stay safe out there. My lovely dad, 'rip' used to fix clocks and watches for people for free when he wasn't working down the coal mine at weekends.

[@cindyivanoff7264]

The lux flakes are laundry detergent,if I remember right. C.M. Love what you do. From the US.

[@thomaspenman4101]

Dqve and marky cool vid always entertaining❤👍

[@darlenejordahl3187]

All right you two. This year stay careful and stay healthy!

[@cheryljones4766]

Doesn't look like Bob did anything in the house after his parents died and maybe that's why it look's as if it's been empty for longer. Lovely little house, thank you guy's xx

[@Pipjojo]

Watched it once, had to watch again. Sad but also happy memories left behind. Bob was obviously content to have stayed until his dying day. Great to see you two together. You two just belong together when exploring these places. Again a wonderful, beautiful, unique find.

[@Pipjojo]

A Belfast sink and Lux soap flakes for wollen and delicate fabrics to be washed by hand.

[@justcurious3514]

Me too - watching a second time 😊

[@junebeardall870]

Lux soaps was a fabulous product in its day I used it for washing cloths an cleaning my glossed doors and skirting boards came up a treat👍😄

[@lizstevenson7801]

Well done guys, great to see you back out together again. The toilet in the house is called a Commode. The toilet in the outhouse would have been filled in between being used, with sawdust or sand then used as compost after being stored maybe 3-4 years in large bins. The silver stretchy bracelet would hav been a pair of Armbands, they were worn over the top of the shirt sleeve, to keep it from slipping down below the jacket cuff. The wig was a Man's Toupee. Thank yoy both 💕

[@mavessu]

so many clocks.....? Fascinating finds!

[@georgeannaerdahl6100]

Nice to see you back together

[@gailspaw5521]

[@gennien1bottle]

Thanks for sharing the details of this explore...... Those curtains in hallway were panned on for sometime so close to the door, and Mark downstairs........ hummmm....... another video I saw a tap on a wall too! then every one wondering where it came from..... So are you having a bit of fun..... Great explore! There was no bathroom in this place I just noticed , so as he aged was hard to get around to get much done on his own..... RIP Bob

[@donnababi5767]

Ohhhhhhh...my 2 favorites...Markie is with you...so happy now...getting ready to watch this...excited...so good to see you together...here we gooooooooo....👀❤🙏

[@SusanLostSoulsExploring]

How heartbreaking. Gave me goosebumps on multiple occasions throughout this video. 😕

[@cherryspiker4426]

thats is so sad being all alone

[@annehardy4329]

Hello Dave and Marky thank you for another great explore. I wish I had the money to find a house like that clean it up and repair it back to it's original state. The furniture brought back to life as well and then reused. I think you are very lucky exploring beautiful old places great work. Aussie Annie

[@rockinbillyboy]

The name of the old sink is a 'Belfast sink'....or also known as a 'jaw box' The garment with no collar that you asked about, is a shirt from WWII....it would have been worn underneath the battledress tunic that you put into the old trunk.....both of which would have been worn underneath the greatcoat, or overcoat that was hanging up...(you tried to open the button)... Bob was obviously in the second world war, and perhaps other family members in the RAF/ fleet air arm or Royal Navy. Well done for respecting Bob's home...as you always do. Great video. Regarding the little plaque with Scottish Horse crest....the Scottish Horse was a Cavalry regiment...as was the South Irish Horse, and North Irish Horse etc.

[@skyeatkins6157]

[@allenjennings4429]

I love all of your entire exploring videos

[@TheMommaTJ]

Loved this explore. So much left behind, you really get a feel of the different chapters in Bob's life. The Lux Flakes were used for washing clothes. 16.36 The Lion Brand 'notebook' was actually a writing pad. Designed specifically for writing letters. 23.42 The bedpan would be filled with hot coals from the fire to warm the bed. Good to see you both able to spend time exploring 🕊

Hi Dave and Marky good seeing you two! Loved this footage as sad it it is.

[@Wildflower-ue8qm]

HIGH GUYS, Groovy to see you young lads again. Was just getting ready to go take my drugs. You know the type an old lady like myself would take.LOL Then I came upon your new video. And had to stop, think for a mili second, then decided to watch you two. Drugs can wait!! WoW, when you were reading that letter, I could've written it. Old and alone, but certainly not lonely or unhappy. Better to be alone and happy,, than with someone and unhappy. Believe me, it so true!!! That letter explains why this pad is left abandoned. Watching videos of homes abandoned because of death and full of owners belongings just proves two things. One! Nothing an individual finds worth saving will likely mean nothing to any of those left behind. And second. We cannot take it with us. We work so hard all of our lives to buy, buy, buy. spend, collect, collect then die. This should be one sign to us all that there should be so much more meaning to our lives than this. The good thing for us all, is, there is. But, only if we choose to make the right decision!! I did! That exit appeared awfully painful. I gave you a big thumbs up just for the pain suffered. Let's get it on and €xp£0R€!! No more breaks. Drug time!! P€aC€~n~£0v€

[@AWE83]

Amazing message thabk u cx

[@Wildflower-ue8qm]

Appreciated you taking the time to reply. Afterall, I realize just how busy you are and dedicated despite rain, pain, Hell or high-water to getting your awesome videos out. I was about to say each year getting better. But, I actually need to admit you and Marky started out pretty good since the start. But, before I explode your head with to much compliments I just wanna say 🙂 hope your enjoying your 🌙. And may P€aC€~n~£0v€ be with you, always 😊

[@tinasmith1259]

That was a brilliant! what a real time capsule, so many interesting belongings and a lovely old house. I think Bob kept himself busy making and repairing things whilst listening to his radio, he did not need a tv , bless him. Great to see you and Marky out together, it gives the videos a more relaxed funny explore like the old ones, you two just have great chemistry, you can tell you both enjoy exploring. By the way at 33:39 when you pick up the photo there is a voice of a old gentlemen when you put it down. Take care and stay safe you two xx

[@BomBom1]

I heard the old guys weak voice too Then when that door slammed behind him on the stairs! Spooky

[@wendypritch]

Loved this explore Dave

[@linni50ify]

That was an amazing treasure of history right there, from the war days, the uniforms and memorabilia would be preserved better in a museum, but youve done that in your filming, thanks for sharing. Awsome work.
