Time capsule cottage with lots of old items and a packed shed with all sorts of retro stuff

Hey house lovers and explorers! This video I explore an overgrown hidden cottage that has heaps to see and look at! Help try and figure out the timeline and mysteries to this old place! Hope you all enjoy, cheers for your patience on the delay of this video and for watching :-)

[@charlenejohnson4300]

The little grinder was an old coffee grinder. Love this explore!

[@beachbum433]

G'day Paul. Another top vid!!! We used to call those thistle seed things "Father Christmases" when we were kids long, long ago...

[@eyeballairvent1248]

This one was a cool special. Thanks.

[@brifren2]

Fantastic exploration... thank you! I really liked the beautiful liquor bottles and the golden mirrors. This house was a treasure :)

[@irenewatts2874]

Hi Paul I think we can safely assume these people who lived here were CAT LOVERS like you and me Paul. They had lots of cat pics. I like the school room building. Another successful video and thank you for sharing it with us. Stay safe and well.👍🏚️🦘

Wow. So many interesting things. Great explore! 😊😊😊

Wow so much left behind...you are always so informative and a pleasure to watch... Take care. Debbi from WA. 😊👍

[@williammullikin2076]

that was an epic explore, it must have been a basic home back in the day. Nothing fancy just home. Thanks

[@romanr9977]

Enjoyed this. With the cute kitty pics, lovely feminine energy in the house. FYI this house was occupied later than 1990s, instead 2000s - that Breville espresso machine is not that old and I remember the home coffee espresso machine craze started well into the 2000s ☕️

[@JudithGolding]

Amazing structure. It's an awe inspiring example of recycling, reusing, in a clever and whimsical way to build a home from found materials ... and with some humor too. Could be a metal scrapper? Someone who made a living by buying up whole household lots of stuff at auctions to re use and re sell? The items are so random and disconnected. It reminds me of the old U.S. tv Red Foxx comedy "Sanford and Son".

[@lindatimmons3675]

LOL 😂 I remember that show. Was so funny.

[@JohnShinn1960]

Aunt Ester. Swoon! 😍

[@Momvon1]

I think 🤔 that was a coffee grinder Paul very cool explore.

[@katealexander88]

Yes, I vote coffee grinder.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Cheers for watching Momvon1 :-)

[@lindatimmons3675]

​@@katealexander88...... I thought that at first but put some sort of music box 😂, as that's what it looked like also to me.

[@user-oe3zx7st5u]

It IS a coffee grinder@@katealexander88 - well spotted. I have a heavy cast version, a family heirloom all the way from 19th century Germany. It works a treat.

[@nancywindbigler6434]

Coffee grinder.....the little fluffy white things look like a shattered cats tail. All kinds of good stuff in that shed!!

[@customscreenprinting]

Urbex Indigo this was a really good find my friend it was really old place it does not look like it was lived in a very long time and thanks for sharing it iam from the U.S.A and i really enjoyed the video and God Bless and thanks again.

[@ghostrider9978]

Mango tea cordial sounds delicious,, some Sanyo stuff was made in Melbourne during that era .i had an old mate who worked there. Good stuff again mate..

[@urbexindigo5164]

It does sound like a good drop for a hot summers day mate! :-)

[@wernersadventures8330]

Hey wow Paul this is a awesome cool time capsule the lady loved her cats and wow what a collective odds and sods in that shed. The Radiola is an old valve set going back to early 60s that one. Another awesome explore mate cheers buddy.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Cheers Werner! Yeah the Radiola I knew you would love, I had a bit of a look on Google at the model and yep 1961. So cool. Cheers for watching :-)

[@kathyscheiman2715]

The bottles, including the little ones, are collectible here in the states. There was a walker between the two stoves so, I’m thinking an elderly person. The cement pad I’m thinking was used as a bed if you add a mattress.

[@showaltermicro]

The start was super cool

[@lorettahendrix6790]

Loved the intro.. creepy!

[@meganpaull6140]

🌟Hi Paul, what a beautiful house so full of precious family memories, beautiful picture of the little girl very sweet. Such a time capsule to step back in time. I’m sure with lots of stories to tell. So sorry your video upload was delayed due to the music copyright. Love pussy cats! Thank you for the tour loved it a lot. ❤😊x 🌟

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you enjoyed it Megan! Finally got it redone and uploaded lol :-)

[@jojosmumdorothy2829]

New sub from uk 🇬🇧 isnt it sad all those items are left to rot 😊

[@urbexindigo5164]

Welcome to the channel JoJo 👍😊 yes lots wasted here rotting away.

[@LestWeForget-LestWeForget]

Can only describe this one as 'busy'! The schoolroom was interesting to see. Think the white fluffy seeds were from the thistles or possibly rosebay willow. Noticed an old wooden barrel lid in the large shed full of stuff. This place was definitely a workout for you, with you having to step over so much!

[@lindatimmons3675]

The thing with handle looks like a coffee bean grinder and not a music box like i thought at first. The Sony stereo is from the 80s. Looks like a cool explore.......

[@yeahitsprivate4697]

Great find! The bottles in the beginning were liquor decanters for whiskey or scotch or what have you. The grinder thing was for coffee beans.

[@lindatimmons3675]

Maybe but he said it had no holes or openings . I was thinking some kind of music box it plays music as you turn the handle. But I don't know. 🤔

[@yeahitsprivate4697]

@@lindatimmons3675 coffee grinders didn’t have holes. You scooped it out of the container after you ground the beans. It only fits a few cups.

[@MsMamabear67]

Another great explore & video Paul 👍🙂😃

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you enjoyed it MsMamabear :-)

[@chrisflesser2171]

Another cool video. It's amazing how many abandoned buildings there are in this country.

[@minimad8432]

Mystery this place as to when it was lived in property. Heaps of gear saved, hoarded, kept. Uno just encase it comes in handy. But if they had not, we wouldn't get to see the old tech gear. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, MM :)

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hey MM :-) Yes a lot of things kept and saved for a rainy day.....still sitting there. Cheers for watching again :-)

[@JohnShinn1960]

So much to see! This one beats the heck out of a museum any day. Thanks Paul! 🤠👍 Notes: 36:13 Looks like what we call milkweed here in the US. 39:45 Is an egg incubator, Amazon has them for $249 USD.

[@kenem1946]

Thanks, Paul ... just on 53 minutes of wow. Time after time you show us items worth a tidy up for re-use. Children's' bicycles for those in need stand out in this video. It's such a pity you can't remove them for any worthwhile cause.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Ken :-) I had a feeling you may enjoy thins one haha! Cheers mate :-)

[@carlashepherd9362]

Cool video! ❤️👍🤘

[@urbexindigo5164]

Another very interesting find with this house here with a lot of old sheds, the inside of this place definitely has a lot of old furniture and other things left behind and this is a another really awesome video Thank You.🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you enjoyed it Roger! Cheers again mate :-)

[@denisewatson5295]

What an awesome time capsule. I enjoyed seeing all of the antiques. Great explore 👌 👍 😀.

[@epsilonvonvehron5820]

The compartment at 39:56 looks like a fold out table top. The little bit inside swings out to hold up the cover. This explore had an eerie and sad vibe, certainly many reminders of the occupants long gone.

[@urbexindigo5164]

What a cool arm chair!!!! :-) Cheers for that info mate

[@epsilonvonvehron5820]

@@urbexindigo5164 also to add, the electronic device just before you saw the arm chair looks like it might be a chicken incubator. The concrete pad in the back room would have been outside before the additions were added. It could have been a pad for a machine shed, water tank stand or probably a generator mounting pad.

[@julzcares]

It was an intriguing time capsule that you explored Paul, with a mix of old vintage furniture and items dating back between the 1960s-1990s. The vintage AWA Radiola appears to be an early 1960s model. I also remember in the late 1970s we had a cassette and record stereo system, similar to the Sony Stereo Music System HMK - 119.

[@catb-w5212]

It was a coffee bean grinder best way to have fresh coffee

[@Nancy-kw8xz]

Hello Paul great video like always I would love to see that house back in the day they either had a lot of stuff or people use that house for a Dumping Ground it's a shame if they did till next time stay safe take care love from upstate New York❤😊

[@tamarawalker8973]

That house was really put together a little at a time, made with what was found or salvaged. Great explore. Thank you

[@ken_tiki5241]

The action figure looks like an Action Man from Hasbro from the early/mid 90s. Also the Ben 10 bicycle would be from around 2005-07 - so it looks like the place was still being used for storage more recently.

[@TheLightbright01]

I noticed on the door that went into the room with rotted floor someone made a make shift pull on it. The white rope around the door knob with a nail holding it up so can pull shut.

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

I my favourite finds were the art works mate. This was a treasure trove of history 😍

[@guyh9992]

Coffee bean grinder.

[@unclefester9229]

The GMC 2 stroke generator dates to early 2000 ish

[@unclefester9229]

and the Coles reusable shopping bag dates to within 5 years... this is confusing...

[@unclefester9229]

and then Ozito compressor is the Bunnings own brand that overtook GMS - thats within 15 years old

[@shez5964]

I remember in the 1970s home organs became the height of home fashion regardless of whether one had any musical knowledge or talent. From memory they more or less played themselves.

[@carrieashley6465]

Coffee grinder they made In the same way witch is cool

[@sandrahealey6385]

Great watch for after work ❤️ All that fluff is from all those thistles 😱 potential thistle babies everywhere! I need Sony speakers for my turntable...! Great explore, so much to enjoy looking at! My favourite kind, it would take me hours. Well worth waiting for, and I don't even have to get grimy and sweaty ❤️

That looks like a coffee grinder.

[@kittyannamanx1206]

Wow! So much. This is one of your best videos yet! I’d love to know about who lived there. Eccentric as heck. Love it. As a cat lady, I love love that painting. This was gold. We love your videos

[@ivyseal5161]

what a treasure trove thanks for a great video Paul that old Radiola by AWA was a early 60s model there were old record players but some how no record s but as for that organ was a great find but a fantastic explore

[@anitapresnell6403]

Hi Paul, great explore. I think that stereo is something from the 80s. The keyboard too. If the expiry date was 1992 on the bathroom items it may well be during the 1980s it was last lived in. Just a thought

[@kimfitzgeraldrockfam8973]

at least they kept the old concrete laundry trough it was in the shed at the 34:46 mark

[@urbexindigo5164]

Well spotted Kim! :-) Classic old trough. Cheers again

@@urbexindigo5164 never know what you will spot in these old homes

[@lavenderfields929]

Thanks Paul. That home and its out buildings would be a really good place to have a Garage Sale. People would be stoked to go through all that stuff and pay for it. Like a deceased estate.

[@saraparisi4676]

Has anyone ever contacted you to tell you that it was where they used to live?

The compartment in the side of the chair is a fold out table. There was a swing out support in view when you lifted it open.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Cheers Brett! Wow no that is a cool arm chair! :-)

[@TheDancingunicorn]

Those bottles were old whiskey decanters and the grinder was a coffee grinder, my parents had one, should have a draw in it to get the coffee out out for the coffee machine

[@nayazindagi9960]

That Ozito air compressor is no more than 7yrs old. Sold exclusively through Bunnings.

[@servicedogkyzanna1761]

Thanks- this one is so much more recent- I never understand why they leave so much behind- sell it, take it, give it away, or trash it, but don't just walk away and leave it like that......- thanks for a great explore!!!!

Bonjour d'Occitanie (France) 11:53 très jolie bouteilles pour les liqueurs ainsi que le vas en verre jaune. Une bouteille en céramique. Les bouteilles avec bouchon en verre c'était en France une part importante de l'accueil des invités elles contenaient soit du porto, soit du xérès des boissons destiné aux femmes en apéritif, il y avait des verres assortis. 13:51 c'est un moulin soit à poivre soit à café cela servait à moudre l'un de ces produits, j'ai vue les deux en action, ma grand mère en avait deux un pour le poivre et l'autre plus grand pour le café. Je dirais que ce modèle est pour le café. Pour les modèles en bois c'est un petit tiroir, pour les modèles en métal je ne peux parler que de celui de mon père le haut ce déboitait 20:01 le logo c'est 'ATSM'

Coffee grinder Bandsaw is a meat Bandsaw

[@helenpfitzenmeier]

As you were looking through the house and seeing the cat pictures, I'm thinking "cat lady" living alone. Then I saw the shed and thought "hoarder". Now I'm thinking it's a person who took over the family home maybe as the last one left and then too overwhelmed to clean up the place. A lot of museums pieces in that huge place. Definitely a good find and as you said Paul, when the house was lived in and taken care of, it would have been a wonderful place. With the bottles you saw earlier in that room, adjacent to that room with the creepy hanging doll, I noticed a mat on the floor, so I was thinking a squatter may have lived there. Eg. Open door near this room and open window

[@broderickwallis25]

The old "thistle doo" sign over the school door.... The Rat in the corner could indicate something from the John Howard period.😂 Thats the Ken from the twin Ken and Barbie pack.... Saw the modern version the other day.... Its one doll !!!! 🤣 On a more poiniant note "The moving hand having writ.... moves on"

[@brettdanvers9425]

Barbie was in the first cottage

[@urbexindigo5164]

Johnny Howard! haha :-)

[@nickheath1927]

The Ben 10 bike says that people were in that house at least in 2005. And the fluffy little things are called Santa Clauses from the Butterfly weed.

[@ludercoarms]

So what came first, the termites or the abandonment?........I would guess that there was a termite problem first, and that may be why the one room has a concrete floor. Then when the termites made a comeback, probably in the late 1980's, once they got so bad the people moved out and abandoned it. in the following 25 or 30 years the termites destroyed the remaining floors. There was an old abandoned house near where I live that went from standing to completely fallen down on itself in the space of about 18 or 20 years due to termites, so I imagine that is what has happened to the floors. I also saw in a few shots they were making their way up the door jambs. Termites are relentless once they get in. In that first room of the old part of the house, the one that had the concrete floor and filled in fireplace, the raised concrete slab is where a wood stove would have sit, there is a hole in the ceiling right above it where the vent would have run up. A very cool old house, with alot of neat stuff left behind, thanks for sharing!!!

[@helenholmes3018]

The fluffy things are thistles seeds of all the videos I have seen you do I don't think I have seen a axe and the yellow thing was or looked like egg incubator

[@urbexindigo5164]

Cheers Helen! :-)

[@pattigolden1]

The grinder is an old coffee grinder... It almost looks like somebody just upped and left their life behind.

[@frikitiki]

Stoopid question...when you visit these places and they have large cracks, are they due to shifting ground, faulty construction, or possibly earthquakes?

[@lindatimmons3675]

Probably both maybe. Or just old and shifting soil.

[@JohnShinn1960]

I asked another Aussie explorer the same question, she said shifting ground.

[@mavahuth5044]

The grinder looks like it could be a coffee grinder. Be careful out there. With all the nails sticking up and the tall thistles.😊
