Exploring Ulceby Cross

[@henry9406]

Flipping heck good job your torch came on as you reached the top of the stairs with that big hole there 😁🍻 thanks for sharing 👍

[@Seany63]

Cheers Henry, yes it was a bit of an Indiana Jones moment.😬👍

[@cerysfrost3215]

Thanks, Ulceby Cross was the last landmark when we went to see my grandparents at Welton and Partney, but we never stopped there

[@Seany63]

Thanks Cerys, I know a few ghost stories from the Partney area.

[@oliverwalters1638]

The amount of times I’ve been to the Spar shop across the road and never paid any attention to the adjacent buildings. Brilliant stuff, thank you Sean.

[@Seany63]

Thanks Oliver, yes walking around the old place certainly brought back a lot of memories.

[@Jay-Leigh]

This was really enjoyable, I found the old building really spooky more so when your touch stopped 😱 but isn’t it great that content can do that to your viewers? Well me at least 🤣🤣 Really interesting thank you so much.

Excellent Sean,... Love it when I "haunt" you down & find a recent upload! Sad seeing buildings going into such disrepair... be careful though, its concerning you do this alone! Interesting regards the UFO sighting... Its great how you manage to source all info on your locations. You also had great shots in the countryside, very flat landscape! If there were a nuclear disaster afoot you'd be the man to know. Keeping that in mind... ;-) Thanks for these vids, they are a great way to catch up with you. ♡♧♡

[@Seany63]

Hi cuz, it's always nice to hear from you. I hope that you and your folks are well? Thanxs for your concern, but my stunt double does all the risksy stuff😉 No but seriously I should visit you all again soon, its been far too long and I am sure that Keady has lots of old folktales that need documenting? xxx

[@cynicalcely6015]

Thats great news! Sounds like your thinking of coming to old Ireland to catch up with your ancestors! Ill look forward to that!! The folks are doing good! I'm in every day with them, got dad subscribed to your channel now too... ;-) We're all a bit suspicious about who your stunt double is,.... I'm just pleased Johnny found work after the trial. ;-) Always love you vids, especially heading into autumn & Halloween...♡ Hope to see you soon, cousin Cecilia...♡♡♡

Thanks for the explore Sean, interesting you mentioned the UFO as I used to go past there every day as I lived in Louth and worked in Alford in the 90s and one night as I left the roundabout towards Louth I spotted a cigar or saucer shaped craft across the field to my left about 150yds from the road. It had multicoloured lights around the edge that reminded me of the old rope lights you'd see at discos. as I drove on towards driby top I noticed the craft was kepping pace with my car, (Iwas doing about 60mph) and it kept pace with me up til I was passing the london road football field as you get to Louth, I then saw the nose lift til it was about 45degrees to the ground and it shot up and was gone in a split second. My other UFO sighting in that area was a blue plasma ball about 30ft in diameter hovering above the T-junction at the end of Kenwick rd. outside the lodge which was before the hotel was there. (This happened in summer of 1975 or 76 and a mate was with me and saw it too)

[@Seany63]

Thank you Andy, very interesting. I have heard of other UFO ( or UAP) sightings in the area. Also around 15 years ago, a friend of mine saw a black panther cross the road near the roundabout. Ulceby Cross seems to be a very strange place,

[@ruthstarbuck9622]

Great video sean...it's sad to see old buildings go to ruin like that...I'm looking forward to your next video 👍

[@Seany63]

Thank you Ruth, yes I am sure the building will be demolished in the not too distant future.

[@user-tk2wt7mt2d]

Always enjoy your videos, Sean. I grew up in the Lincolnshire Wolds (I live in exile in Yorkshire now) so it's a pleasure to see places I remember from my childhood, and to learn about the history and folklore connected with them. I well remember The Haywain - it was on my daily route to school in Alford - and it's sad to see the derelict state it's in now. Keep up the great work with your explorations!

[@Seany63]

Thank you.👍👍

[@kevinhoughton9134]

Thanks for this Sean, I bet there's so many memories for you there mate.

[@Seany63]

There certainly are Kevin, the vast metropolis of Alford was my stomping ground back in the day.😎

[@waynesmith4612]

Great video Sean, you did well to go in there by yourself, the place seemed to have a sinister look to it so i can well believe the ghost stories. When you mentioned imagine looking in the mirror and seeing the gamekeeper stood behind you, yes i think it's the kind of place you might lol. On a sad note i always find it such a waste these places get left to get into that sad state, i imagine it was quite nice in it's day and a few happy memories were had there (except the poor girl in the well). Thanks for another great video though, the place certainly looked spooky.

[@Seany63]

Thank you Wayne. Well the great thing about editing is that you can make yourself look braver than you actually are😉No, but seriously it is sad to see the old place in such a state.

[@waynesmith4612]

Conking out is definitely a Lincolnshire saying not heard that in years 😄I remember this place as a kid used to call in on the way to see family.

[@ronnieadam8710]

Wow Sean have I got stuff to say about this video!, First off it's brilliant and informative as usual but you mentioned a UFO case in the area?, I don't know if you know but there was another major sighting on the Alford road, a man driving saw a huge object hovering with electrical tentacles dangling to the ground, also there have been a number of shuck sightings at Ulcby Cross, your a legend mate, keep up the great work! 👍👍👍

[@Seany63]

Thanks Ronnie, I didn`t know about the UFO sighting do you know when it was reported? Thanks for reminding me about a shuck-like creature seen around Miles Cross Hill in the 1980s. One for a future video.🐈‍⬛👍

[@CodgerBiker]

Ha ha! Where’s he gone now. I’ll tell you where he’s gone now, back to 1980, Fran’s the cat who owns the flat and knows where it’s at, with a sack on his back, while a red triangle flies aboove. 😂 We went in there for a meal just before it closed. It was reminiscent of a scene from Texas Chainsaw, run down, poor food, even a small fire burning outside in the parking lot. We were the only customers. Even the staff seemed amused anyone would be gullible enough to pay to eat there, the state it was in. But glad you captured it. After all it has played a significant role in our shared unconsciousness 👌😉👍👍👍

[@Seany63]

Ha ha, I thought the same about the red triangle it probably had finbar publications emblazoned on the side. Yes, the shared memories I was on my own but the rooms were crowded. 👌👌

[@kellyshaw7271]

Are work commitments taking you to East Anglia then? I look forward to watching your discoveries there. Interesting vid but how you've not fallen through a rotten floor i don't know 😄 It was also pitch black in there, i would have been long gone. Some busy roads in that area and no pavements either. If you don't fall through the floor then you get hit by a car instead. Good find with the bunker. It's amazing what's actually out there in these fields if we look. Good luck on the east coast.Cheers Sean

[@Seany63]

Hi Kelly, not work just a well-earned holiday. Yes I did feel a bit wary wandering around in the dark but I would have gone upstairs if it hadn't have been for that whopping big hole on the landing. Thank you Kelly, lots of interesting vids to come I hope. 🙂

[@lewischambers1856]

Love the videos! My brother managed to spot you around Lincoln one day and had a chat with you... Must say I was pretty jealous so I always keep my eye out! Also if you ever fancy a pint let me know, would love to chat over a beer!

[@Seany63]

Yes, I remember, it was a few months ago. Well, I have not been out in Lincoln for many months due to work commitments but yes, sometime from late October onwards when i don't have work would be good👍.

[@lewischambers1856]

Ahhh the dreaded thing us adults have to do! Sounds good to me! Don't often get out to any of the pubs in Lincoln so it would be a win win situation :) cheers for the reply and hopefully catch you at some point soon :)

[@kariwellborn5083]

As always it is so good to get the notification of your videos!! That restaurant and hotel were sketchy! The bunker area is so pretty, I suppose if someone was to want go "off grid" and in a tiny house they could buy one and live in it. I have to admit I kind of laughed when you said you hadn't been there in 40 years...........I always thought of you and decades younger than me not the same age. Stay safe and much love from Arizona. Thanks for another great walk-about.

[@Seany63]

Thank you Kari, its always nice to hear from you. Some of the larger bunkers have been coverted into dwellings but there is very little information on who owns the bunker at Ulceby Cross. I can only suppose that it belongs to the local farmer. Well, thanx for the compliment Kari, I turn 60 next year but I sold my soul at Ulceby crossroads many years ago.😈

[@Gill3D]

Surely I saw you there?! I lived in Alford and I remember going up to that motel when it first opened (for the disco, not the motel) on the back of my mate Richard's Honda CB200. He would scare me to death at the end of the evening by hurtling down Miles Cross hill into Alford at 80+ mph after a few beers. Anyone who knows the double bend at the bottom of Miles Cross hill will understand why I was so scared. I don't know about any premature human deaths which might have happened at the motel but I left Alford in 1984(ish) so I might not be aware of them. I understand the people who ran the Indian restaurant there subsequently went on to run the Windmill Hotel restaurant in Alford, which closed down recently. Incidentally, I had a summer job at the Ulceby Cross service station in 1979 before the motel and restaurant was built. In those days it was owned by people who also owned a trout farm at Belleau. There was a tank full of trout in the huge building behind the service station and we advertised 'Fresh Trout' at the pumps. People would come in and ask, 'How fresh are the trout?' so I would take them to the tank and show them the fish swimming there. Then they'd ask, 'You don't...?' and I'd say, 'Sure. Which would you like?' sometimes they would walk away, retching, sometimes they'd point a finger. If they pointed a finger, I'd scoop out the fish with a net, drop it through a funnel into a plastic bag, then tap it on the head sharply with a 'priest'. I don't think the fish actually felt much. Then I'd hand the dead trout to the customer and suggest we settled up at the till in the service station. Happy days.

[@Seany63]

I used to frequent the pubs and discos in Alford in the early 1980s, so its more than likely that we met at some point. Well, I am no drunken stranger to Miles Cross Hill on a bike. I cringe when I think how reckless and stupid I was in those days. "Fresh Trout at the pumps" ha ha, sounds like something from The League of Gentlemen. Thank you very much for the info. 👍👍
