What Happened Here?.. Why Is This Place Abandoned??? So Many Amazing Things Left Behind!!

[@chrisblay]

That Massey Ferguson Tractor was registered 1975 and last taxed until July 1998.

[@jfro5867]

Love your videos. Would be nice if you could find even a brief history behind how these places came to be. Fascinating.

[@clairefunnell8481]

A perfect time capsule here. Poor old house. A very interesting property here. Always makes me wonder about the family and what happened to them.

[@mandymoo7406]

Nice steady walk round I would have been frightened of walking on an adder though😀

[@dianawade4953]

When you stepped on to the floor upstairs in the house, a clap of thunder boomed outside my window. Boy that scared the hell out of me. Thought you were going to fall through. Awesome explore...thank you.

[@lindseykaine-walley6339]

One of my favourite explores from you. I love a good garden centre! Amazing what you have shown us.

[@J4Z666]

Wow close to home this one, didn't realise until I saw the old bedford van, a few miles away from my childhood home. Another great post thanks Colin.

[@monkeymagic4555]

You should have scattered all the seeds that were there the results come this time next yr would be awesome :)

[@weatherwitchandfelinefamiliars]

What a fabulous place ❤️ Couldn't believe that the loo had fallen through the floor 😮

[@FRFRANKIE]

Hi Colin & Bob. Hope you two are doing good. That was one cool video. I liked seeing that Masey Ferguson tractor. Stay safe & take care.

[@dianelafreniere1362]

Another fantastic find, Colin, beautifully filmed as always!!

[@marksoutham7074]

The large Orange Rotovator I think is an old Howard Gem...Quite a thing in its day...They made a Diesel version also...The mower looks like an Allen sythe...

[@scrapyardwarriorvlogging]

It’s a shame they couldn’t see the ID plate on that Howard Rotivator to see where it was manufactured. I lived on the site of one of the old Howard factories.

Brilliant video!! Love time capsules!! 👉🌟👍

Always a pleasure 🙂

Just discovered the channel love the cars and vans. Makes you wonder what happened...

[@duncanmardell6688]

the piece of farm machinery you asked about was a crop sprayer

[@medleydeluxe5298]

Its a rototiller mate

@@medleydeluxe5298 yes your right the orange howard gem is a rototiller. i was talking about behind the massy 35 at14.05 in the video

[@arrangrant6037]

The 2 litre pinto engine Granada was a fairly base version of the Granada. I expect someone would want that engine 👍😎

[@thughes52]

Cool video Colin .....⭐💯

[@kevinhaigh1654]

Enjoyed this explore definitely, such a shame about the Granada with such low mileage, and this may sound daft but the house and the office obviously apart from the ceiling falling down but everything looked quite clean if you get what I mean lol, but thanks for sharing amazing

[@gaynor3976]

My grandad worked for Massey Ferguson back in the late 50s early 60s. All the machinery was interesting and probably well used in its day. Shame all those seeds are just lying around. Great explore Colin thank you xx

Another great find 👍

Thanks for another great explore 👌 loved it take care my friend much love 💘❤ 💘

Mint cars the Granada's, my ex father in law had a MK3 Scorpio about 17 years ago...it had the heated seats the lot I loved it

[@JamesSchem]

Cultivating machine at 14:51 is a Howard rotorvator

[@turnercraig9953]

Great video! Put a battery on the tractor it wouldn't take much starting

[@retrocar7761]

I believe that headlight at 20:30 is from a first generation Mercades A Class.

[@brianfearn4246]

Great video, the transit van looks like a version from around 1969,70,71,72 with the small pod speedometer. The transit pickup looks like a later model with the modified speedometer from around 1985,86

[@elliottprice6084]

Definitely one of the most intriguing videos I've seen

[@SaltySeb15]

I’ve seen pics of this place from another explorer and saw the 165 Massey tractor was once indoors .The cable on it now maybe from someone dragging it outside to take it

[@francishester100]

That big orange machine is a Howard gem look like the Diesel modal

[@bernardshieldstysonfive1009]

Hi love the video that on the back of the tractor looks like a spray unit and the machine in the work shop looks like a cultivar for the garden keep the brilliant videos coming Bernard

[@nicholaswilliams4336]

The Massey 165 has now been stolen and scrapped, virtually every time we go by there’s always a gypo wagon outside so I doubt if there’s much left now

[@myrescuecats3028]

Rayburn now belongs to Aga which was bought up by a British company. Rayburn are extremely reliable.

[@carolynhollingworth5905]

Ford Granada mk2 with 2 litre pinto engine. Had a couple of those back in the late 80s...

[@bryemycaz]

14:55 it's Tom Goods old Rotary Cultivator.

[@pauloliver7853]

there used to be an amazing Totem Pole outside of this Garden Center. Any of us who grew up on the Wilts Somerset border will recognize it. Creepiest thing is the cross roads it is on is known as Dead Maids. Not sure why or what happened there many years ago.

[@bigmatt2896]

any idea when it closed down? what was it called?

[@pauloliver7853]

@@bigmatt2896 things went a bit pear shaped in 2017. There was a dispute with the local electricity company over a power cut that led to Chapmanslade and its environs being blacked out. The owner got a bit uppity and was arrested for breach of the peace. You can google the story. The Garden Center was called Row Farm. Not giving away any secrets as you can clearly see the sign in bearded explorers video.

[@gin9erbiker]

Seeing the names on the house I know this house is somewhere near me but have no idea where .. as it says Westbury, holt

[@screwthecabal6453]

AMAZING FIND!!! NICE!

[@alasdairvincent6248]

A fascinating video there .They don’t come much better than this. It always amazes me that the power is still connected in some of these abandoned buildings, especially with the rocketing cost of energy today! You have brought us yet another great explore Colin.The Massey Ferguson 35 brought back memories. We had one in my first workplace. I drove it once. That is a classic tractor now and collectible. It was sad to see the state of the Sherpa pick up truck. These are mega rare now. The Massey Ferguson 165 is definitely worth saving, as is the 35. These are hardly old tractors. I bet that the Diesel engines on them could be started fairly easily. Yeah, they don’t make them like that anymore.

[@stuartwhitta9333]

The mystery machine in the workshop is a Roto Tiller, for churning up the soil

[@CraigDavies.]

Easy to find this one. Big clue in the video.

[@oliveradams2193]

Yes and I went there yesterday and things have been stolen and vandalised further and that is just two days after being put on KZbin. The lot will be gone before long. Very sad.

[@rachelmayes298]

What a lovely little cottage that would have been in its glory. That tractor is gorgeous, I really hope that someone can restore it and let it have another life. How sad it’s so dilapidated, and the floors have come down. It was scary watching you climb those stairs and walk around in those bedrooms. Lovely find this one, I can imagine he’d been old school walking around with a flat cap, and some overalls, and a pipe maybe. I wonder what happened for this to be left? Thank you awesome find. Thank you 😊

It's Massey..not Maisey mate

the blackberry you picked and ate at 23:52 was probably hallucinogenic 🤣, might explain why you saw a giant spider at 26:26 😄and I couldn't (or anyone else?). Enjoyed your video as always mate.

The person who had this place, had a real thing for FORD [Found on Race Day] stuff. The macine on the back of the Fergy was a seeder, the was a tiller in the garage. Nice goin m8, stay vertical.

[@graemecrabb4760]

The 1st tractor was a Massey Ferguson 35 they came out after the Ferguson T20 aka the little Gray fergie that pioneered the Ferguson 3 point linkage system and the Massey Ferguson 165 came out after the 35 series

I’ve never heard anyone say mazey Ferguson lol n it’s a sprayer on the back!

[@oakfarmagricultural506]

the machine on the back of the Massey Ferguson 35 was a crop sprayer and quite a rare one too! although the 35 seems to have not moved in a long time, the 165 in the yard isn't there on google earth so I wonder if it has recently been towed out of the workshop next to the Granada, all the other vehicles seem to have been abandoned long before the nursery itself was because I've gone back to 2001 on google earth and you can see them all parked up. also the machine in the workshop is a Howard Gem rotovator which would be used to cultivate vegetable plots, there was another one the same in the first shed with the bamboo you looked in

[@carolb29]

the thing he smelled the gas tank of is a garden tiller

[@melindawakley7859]

Bearded Explorer, I know you’d probably not be that interested but know that there is a company in the UK that encourages ppl to refer UK abandoned properties to them. Because they try, often successfully to locate the owner try and buy the abandoned property off them. They seem to be a London based company. Called YouSpotProperty. If you supply an address and pic for them of a property anywhere in the UK, they offer either a voucher and/or if they manage to buy and re-sell the property they will often agree to pay the person who alerted them to the abandoned property 1% of the sale price (if they re-sell it) with a limit at £10,000 I think. They know there’s 1000’s of abandoned properties in the UK. But where are they? That’s the problem. Also, Often local councils do not even know about local abandoned properties. But it’s definitely also a very good idea to alert Council of an abandoned property you know too. Becos they will often buy it and renovate it, or at least try and rescue the house.

[@robertmustard1711]

Hi Colin great find there mate

[@melindawakley7859]

As a keen gardener this makes me a bit sad. Cause even in Australia independent small family run nurseries like this were common. But they were all forced into closure due to the new competition of huge multinational companies like Bunnings starting up in the mid 90’s. people stopped going to small family run nurseries. Globalisation put an end to them. And the computer age happened at this time too, and older private nursery owners struggled to learn to do business this way. Shame, because the older horticultural ppl were always the most knowledgeable. And most experienced. Great video!
