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

[@FINDERSBEEPERS]

It really is awful… but at least he survived it. He didn’t die until 1960.

[@TheLadyT23]

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!

[@sooncewasi4126]

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! ❤️

[@curtisholt2468]

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!

[@ozziecozzie274]

Matt, tell a military museum about the letters you found from ww1. They should be protected.

[@juliadagnall7103]

I agree darling you really should contact the military museum and those letters safe and protected ❤❤

[@FINDERSBEEPERS]

The problem is even a museum, can’t remove the postcards… it’s still classed as burglary

[@FINDERSBEEPERS]

I’m trying to do that

[@curtisholt2468]

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!

[@rachelidoless1638]

Matt you are brave exploring that sewing box😅

[@IngridHubenthal]

Everybody looks like Andy, as long as we would like to see him again.

[@DeniseLaFranceCDNpainter]

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!

[@Thedarkonedragon]

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!

[@teresascrochetandanimals]

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

[@sarahferguson5630]

Wow amazing postcard. My gran was born Dec 1919 and she passed away may of this year at 103 x

[@DeniseLaFranceCDNpainter]

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. 😂

[@deniselkinne1131]

Yay! Matt put a hat on for Andy! 😅😅😅😅 love it!

[@BlackDragonProductions]

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

[@emmafarr770]

When bear lays on his back and gives you his belly. Hes saying I love you. It's a sign of love.❤

[@dianagregory8084]

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🥰🥰

[@amyclarke1437]

Those hand sown postcards were amazing! 💕

[@karenconway6061]

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.

[@gilliandianeryan1493]

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 .

[@janetdupont9342]

On the wooden plate, it was ‘Give us our daily bread in French’. The postcard was to his aunt and uncle. Really interesting explore! 😊

[@DeniseLaFranceCDNpainter]

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. ❤

[@lin...9356]

Those cards for the lads mother really are beautiful great find .x

[@Lester-hi4ez]

Matt you pick the best of abandoned farmhouses and cottages 😂

[@Bob_the_bottleman]

Those embroidered cards are fantastic!! You hit gold with this explore. So many items that need to be saved.

[@Peter.w]

Aww good on ya Mat for wearing the Hat in honour of Andy.. Such a good mate!!

[@amandabeech8472]

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. 🥰

[@amandabeech8472]

Pear soaps pictures

[@sarahtaylor2492]

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

[@DavidM-72]

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.

[@esmeyoung1396]

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.

[@FINDERSBEEPERS]

Died in Gallipoli 😢

[@ih3047]

That has to be one of the of best explores ever - so sad that no family members wants to save those treasures. Thank you for taking us with you. By the way, that second hat you put on was hilarious on you 😂

[@chriskrzable]

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.

[@lorio6924]

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.

[@annacollier2936]

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)

[@PlayCator]

Got emotional at the first hat, then switched to the tiny hat and I died laughing. Emotional roller coaster right there.

[@colindolly]

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.

[@bettybrown7559]

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

[@angelvamp28]

24:45 loved that Marry Poppins style 1900s Umbrella. looks really nostalgic. Keep up the nice videos!

[@conniehogan6217]

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❤

[@HelenHunt-ry6wx]

This property needs to be saved

[@magsu]

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.

[@katherinerobinson]

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.

[@lynnmoore4669]

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 ❤

[@LittleBird777]

The painting looks like St Ursula Matt, wonderful explore 😊

[@Melc321c]

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

[@abandonedgirlsworld]

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 ❤😊

[@ruthmanning6661]

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. 💞💞💖💖🐾🐾

[@AntieAnnie2003]

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! 😜

[@miniaturerealestate5849]

Aaahhhh Bears little face when you said he was a good boy for finding good stuff 🥰

[@kitchenskillet]

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.

[@Carolxo]

Loved this house. So much history, thank you.

[@berenicestrnot1894]

Can't wait to watch this when I get off work!!

[@GailMarie1972]

I died laughing when you found the box of buttons. I so miss Andy. Thank you for wearing the hat for him.

[@manonmartin4231]

Loved all the old photos !!

[@bonobo2go]

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? 😊

[@stephenwilliams9581]

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.

[@bellasbuggybags1404]

Great explore. Its a shame all those photos rotting away. All that history.

[@yvonnemorris6397]

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 🥰

[@rosebooth7367]

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

[@babiy609]

One of the best explores yet!😍 I could have looked at the books, cards and photos for the whole video. Keep smashin it 💥

[@DeniseLaFranceCDNpainter]

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.

[@FINDERSBEEPERS]

Eugine is the guy who writes back to his mum from the war

[@1028dianemarie]

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.

[@janelevett7006]

With all the sewing stuff, materials, fur, leather punch tools she was obviously very crafty, look the blue faced clock great explore

[@michellehabets4568]

Wow what a great explore again Matt. Love the old postcards from WW1. 😊

[@marcycollinshtd4life]

Those postcards were amazing

[@diannesorem6389]

Absolutely loved this exsplore!

[@geraldinehardman6559]

Yet another belting video Matt xx

[@teresascrochetandanimals]

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

[@kskollections2142]

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.😮

[@mrsb3650]

The Blue Peter fellas are John Noakes and Peter Purvis with Shep the dog. Not sure of the woman's name but think it might be Valerie Singleton.

[@lyndamiller2623]

What an amazing explore…thanks for sharing, it was fabulous

[@Kaz-ey6en]

Fab video Matt loved the post cards and pics and the umbrella’s looked lovely x

[@stephenwalker4809]

Robbie Burns wrote a poem called - Nine inch will please a lady. Cucumbers are such an odd subject for poetry.

[@Katsfluidartcreations]

Brilliant video, you are clumsy 😂 some really good stuff, shame it’s just rotting away. Where are the family when it comes to these abandoned places? There’s some valuable stuff too 👍

[@susanstewart4184]

Great Explore Matt 😊

[@mynx369]

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!

[@rebeccagardner5977]

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😊

[@michelleferrell2788]

[@JaToriaV]

Those spiky wheels on handles are cutting wheels for sewing. I have one of those sewing boxes! I love it. Mine has legs on it. And there are NO buttons in it. I keep them elsewear! LOL I adore that wallpaper! Absolutely amazing explore! Those needlework postcards are so cool!! I'd never heard of such a thing! Those thorn scratches are gonna sting in the shower! LOL

[@janetedmundson991]

[@melindaemmite7454]

We enjoy your videos. Thank you for your hard work. You always make us laugh!😂

[@revieboy]

Great video Matt, cheers

[@valerieland5401]

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.

[@beedevonlife]

That was brilliant😊

[@HelenHunt-ry6wx]

Best explore you done this year those cards amazing really beautiful, thank you for showing us

[@elizabethjohnston3264]

Amazing find.I wish I'd been there.

[@betsymolinaro175]

That was absolutely amazing. Bear, i love you. Stop scaring your dad. Matt? Can you PLEASE PLEASE explain your dislike for buttons? ❤

[@DebbieHrycak9433]

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.
