We explored The Abandoned Isaac Newton Observatory

[@applevr1234]

The building is now surrounded by 3 metre security fencing, with talking cctv cameras and reactive security. This is probably the last sight of this amazing place. Great video, well done.

[@pianomasher6691]

Many people have been in since lol

[@susanross1651]

This should have been kept as a museum, it’s a shame it’s just left to rot.

[@allenharris1069]

Wow. Guy's. Just "Wow" !

[@Sparky68M]

Herstmonceux East Sussex, I worked there when the Isaac Newton teliscope was removed in the late 79 /80, it was then The Royal Greenwich Observatory , the time piece that supplied the time signal was housed there. It's in the grounds of Herstmonceux castle education science centre, it's full of asbestos if you didn't read the signs ?

[@SueGirling68]

Hi guys, wow what a cool place, I remember it at Greenwich, nice to see Andrew and Kayleigh, Steve and Ray. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 🥰

[@silvercat7129]

Very polished intro! Love you guys...from NJ USA.

[@VacantHaven]

Cheers Silvercat! Glad you enjoyed, hope all is well over there 👍

[@silvercat7129]

[@Trish1]

Great explore of this fabulous observatory. Loved Ed’s pose by the control desk 😂 Nice that you went back up to investigate the outside walkway which definitely looked a bit dodgy😱 Thought you liked heights Alex!! I’m sure you could have climbed those ladders to the top!!! Bit random seeing those owls - presume they’re part of a nature trail. Great video 👍👍

[@patcardiff2563]

Wow wow wow you two are just fantastic the risks you take for us all Thank youxxx

You two are just Fearless my goodness

[@sharonleong7120]

Great and interesting exploration. I love you guys. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

[@VacantHaven]

Glad you liked it Sharon, one of the most unusual we've done so far. But a lot of fun!

[@Comrade_Tokoloshe]

That straight row of trees look like they used fresh cut branches for fence posts which took root and sprouted.

[@maz121able]

Wow this was awesome thank you for sharing

[@VacantHaven]

You are welcome as always Maz, We've never done anything like this before, so glad you liked!

[@kathpayne4364]

That was one awesome place, it just kept on giving, how did they fit it all in? As Eddie said tardis.. Loved it Thank you Vacant Haven..

[@VacantHaven]

You're welcome Kath! It was a unique experience this one, glad you enjoyed it too 😁👍

[@jennycampbell5236]

It's such a shame that these places aren't maintained as they are an important part of history. I feel sorry for all those beautiful owls in that small enclosure. It seems cruel.

[@elisabethdeling5195]

Cool guys 👍🏼didn’t have the time for watching for a while...but its a nice find wow🥳🥳

[@paulvamos7319]

Thank you for showing us around that Tardus/Wizard Tent! Liked and been subbed for a few years now!😁 That place had my knees shaking when Ed stepped out on that platform and those ladders!!!😱🤣 Banger of a video folk!👍

[@raynaknierim9277]

What a great explore. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@bryanrotchell1565]

It's just amazing that it's still standing considering who this chap was , sir Isaac Newton , mad genius , brilliant video nice one lads 👍👍👍👍

[@stuartfletcher2378]

That place was going into a state of decay and will soon not be fit to mess around in . I'm glad you got in and took the chance to look about but I must say when you looked over the railing the view to the ground was not my cup of tea ( FAR TOO HIGH ) . Thanks to you and the crew for an exciting armchair explore of a very old structure . Will be looking forward to your next video , Stuart in Canada ..

[@VacantHaven]

Cheers Stuart, glad you enjoyed this one, it was VERY hairy in parts, Edd did well walking outside on the decking!!

[@julieb5707]

That was so cool and loved the spiral stairway. It was a huge place and you were so high! Ed looking smart today 😎 love the banter you 2 have, I just wish he wore a mic so I could hear everything 😂. Thanks guys. Have a good week.

[@signal98]

Another really good video Alex! Not just the location (which is great by the way) but the way you narrate & film. You cover all the most interesting parts climbing and going some places others don't. And as always I love the way you and Ed get on adds something special to videos! Thanks for taking me along! Rob from Pennsylvania 👋

[@VacantHaven]

You're welcome Rob! Kind of you to say! Glad you enjoyed the explore 👍👍

[@suebagent6410]

What a great find , great to see Thankyou . It’s a tragedy that these sort of buildings are left to just go to waste . They could of turned it into a museum of space . So much could of been done . It must of cost millions to build . What a waste . You guys are great highlights stuff like this . Thank you ❤

[@granthoward1770]

What a breath taking building! Fascinating. Love the grand views and vast expanses in this….love it!

[@ExploringWithin]

Nice one mate 👍

[@allanbrewer3898]

Another great explore by you and your crew I got a bit worried about Ed on those boards I thought they were going to collapse and he would fall to the ground they were pretty rotten it’s a-shame they took the telescope out and moved it to another area. It’s also great to see your brother going out with you to explore different places as well it would bring you both closer together and have similar interests to things. Anyway be safe I look forward to another adventure with you guys keep up the great work you all do. Regards Allan.

[@tishalaubach4626]

That was totally awesome 👍. I've always wanted to see the inside of one. Great job again. Just love your videos. I've seen just about all of them. Can't wait for more 🙏

[@gailwinder7241]

Love this really enjoyed that thanks guys. But a bit random having birds of pray in the middle of know where ❤

[@adamseisoglu737]

Nice one i like to watch your videos on a Sunday 👍

[@VacantHaven]

Glad to hear Adam. Hope all is well 😁👍

[@daphnerosemoon9843]

Alex amazing video. A wonderful piece of history, sad it's decaying .I think it should be restored. I will never get to visit there so thank you for taking me along with you. I live in a city that has far too many bright lights and they out shine the stars so we have to go out to the desert to get a good view of them. Please keep up the good work I look forward to the videos💖💖

[@bobthebinbag5949]

Another brill investigationAlec but my legs were like jelly all the time you were up there lol 👍😳😵‍💫😎

[@jimmime]

You're right, just like the TARDIS, bigger on the inside! Thank you for the tour.

[@andrewmoore5628]

My legs were giving way looking how far up you were,just can't do hights . This was so interesting.

[@derekbilston]

As a member of a local astronomy group some years ago who were allowed to visit and use most of the telescopes this is one place we were never allowed to go. I was told that it was going to be turned into something for the community, but obviously that never happened. Probably a lack of money.

[@VacantHaven]

Glad we could show you inside Derek 👍

[@vercioliveira5497]

[@fredsimmons2793]

Take care of your back young man.That building was a bit of a trap as far as security was concerned ,you had no place for exit strategy Alex.I hope that dawned on you at some point .

[@VacantHaven]

Cheers Fred, It always in the back of my mind, the exit strategy. Sometimes you film as much as you can before you get caught 😉

do you have any murch like hoodies? sorry if iv missed it

[@deanwebb1362]

Should have claimed that the ladder on the inside of the door over the dome would have taken you to the other service entrance.

[@wilsonwilson8086]

What's the story with the birds?

[@TheRohanUK]

Hoping it’s a midway place somewhere before they are set free. I hope if not that’s very cruel and hope they get released.

[@Alwayswatchin2534]

I promise KZbin I will never by a product that is advertised on this app,so many commercials it turned sad.

You should have used the phone to call your own phone. Then you could have randomly pranked call the number 😅😂

He's singing up in to the dome and the dome cop's are outside Boy I don't know about you Guys

[@elizabethbathory6144]

Who owns the observatory now? Shouldn't they/ the local council/ the government/ The Royal Society or anyone who could fundraise to save and preserve this historical gem DO something for its national and international historical significance?

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

Maybe I missed it but what did they do with the telescope

[@VacantHaven]

They moved it to La Palma because of light pollution.

This is the third time I have watched the exact same video released by three seperate channels at this place. I am sure Matt will be along soon, then it will be four times. What a waste of talent and broadband. UK urbex is getting very incestious,redundant and boring.

[@Cheetoluv]

I really wish out of respect for those that believe in the Ten Commandments you wouldn’t use God’s name in vain, Jesus. You want people to watch your channel but there is other people besides me that cringe. Just simply respect. By any chance was there a bathroom up there? Could one imagine really having to go and have all those steps to go down! lol 😂
