Why Has This Mansion Been Left Abandoned & Forgotten? Vehicle’s Left & Everything Still Inside!…

[@mikemichaud5048]

I appreciate you closing that roof access, my ocd kicks in a little when explorers leave these open!👍Great video Colin!

[@daphnerosemoon9843]

👍👍

[@emmafulcher3121]

Great video Colin, please could you raise the camera a little bit so we can see the full height of the rooms, especially in the Chateaux as the ceilings can be incredible.

[@corihart8732]

I am always so impressed by how respectful you are to the items left behind. It seemed as though there were some rooms that someone had been in before and staged for filming. But all in all, that must have been a beautiful place at some time! Also, I agree it must have been a care home for elderly people at some point. Thanks so much for another brilliant explore!

[@sharonbaulch]

Thanks for taking us with you. That chateau is like a moment in time frozen forever. Colin you are so respectful as you explore, thanks for that.❤

[@carlashepherd9362]

What a beautiful old mansion! Still has beauty & charm! Wonderful video bro! 🤘❤️👍

[@FRFRANKIE]

Thanks!

[@mandyrobinson8353]

It’s so sad that beautiful old places like this are left to ruin

[@Kevmac332]

Hello Colin, fantastic content... what a beautiful place.. definitely needs saving.

[@AnneSmith-mu2ph]

Isn’t it lovely listening to the birds ,it’s incredible,so sad to see photos and they are gone .🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️

[@screwthecabal6453]

There was a small wooden box under a lamp table near the window. I'd love to inspect everything. I wouldn't take anything but just exploring every little thing would just make my decade!

[@amandabeech8472]

Oh wow, what amazing house to explore, but sad it’s been left to rot or to get trashed. 🥰

[@spikeyplants438]

Hi Colin excellent find and video,that place really needs saving.Once these sort of places go they will never be replaced. Still weird why these places are just left,like the people have just walked out and gone!!! Get commentary Colin,I could feel your unease at times these places must be creepy on your own.Look forward to next weeks.Take care.😀

[@dnf1903]

Hiya Colin-another super Saturday brilliant video. It's hard to understand how a place so beautiful can be just left and forgotten. Thankyou.

[@thughes52]

[@maureenlucas4189]

It really is a shame that such a beautiful building goes to rack and ruin I really do find you vlogs fascinating

[@obryan240]

That old van outside the barn could be a cool camping rig or motorcycle hauler.

[@carolwiechman4096]

Thanks so much from Illinois US! Amazing video! Thanks again!

[@Trish1]

Wow what a fabulous place - so much left behind! Great video 👍

[@marcbeebe]

Sir David Brown bought Aston-Martin in 1946 and really built the company up. He also owned Lagonda.

[@paulwilliams8725]

Brilliant 👍

[@robertmustard1711]

Great explore colin 😊

[@lindseykaine-walley6339]

I hope you saved the butterfly? What a find! Really enjoyed seeing this Colin.

[@clairefunnell8481]

Lovely old Chateau Colin. Just beautiful. Very sad to see it in this shape. Needs to be saved. Was that his chateau. My favorite piece of the music that you play. Shame!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@screwthecabal6453]

Bro! This is prime exploring at its best!!!!!

[@GalbraithDesmond]

Many people want to live in a mansion, but when you "own" a mansion, it really owns you. Small, elegant and beautiful homes make for a much happier life.

[@jeanfeuerborn3932]

An amazing house.

[@songoku9348]

Evening Colin. You make the weekend better.

[@derrickcuff9817]

Excellent video

[@RaceDayReplay]

Very patriotic motor racing fan lived in that house. Lots of Matra and Alpine in those pics along with Francois Cevert

[@eppityrrell8236]

Love your intros and channel I know you love cars but it's nice to see to back to abandos sending warm vibes from Ireland ✨🕊️☘️ what a mind blowing home so sad to see it in this state ✨

[@Triliton]

This was a lovely find. :) Such a place to go and explore. Great video as always Collin :)

[@johnHAMMOND-l3u]

thank you that was a great video it was not just about old cars.its what your old video used to be like please do more video like this

[@conniejohnson290]

Hi Colin! You are one of my favorite explorers. I would love to be able to go through a home like this. Not to take things but to admire all of the things. Great video.

[@Jennifermcintyre]

Ohhhh I could spend days going through every nook and cranny! I love old items… imagine the person who once bought it. I’d love to fix it up!!

[@screwthecabal6453]

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when the people occupied this place!

[@Team33Team33]

@@screwthecabal6453 Think of uber rich people today - and there you have it. They were no different in their ways, only technology wasn't as advanced, but they had everything and anything they wanted plus money to spare and the same political views as the super rich do nowadays. It's been staged by the owner/s in an effort to sell and hasn't sold so either it is still a part of the family estate or now belongs to the French government. The French put so much tax on the rich at one time that they drove families like this into the ground. 60 to 70% tax at one point in time ! If you didn't have the knowledge to set up an offshore trust then you lost everything. Imagine earning 100 quid and handing over 70 quid in tax to the govmt ! AND being taxed on the CURRENT value of your real estate, rather than the price at which you bought it 50 to 60 years ago ..... The French are the worst at scaring their rich OUT of France and haemorrhaging their national wealth, leaving almost nothing in private hands anymore. THEN you have to think about inheritance taxes in France !!! There also; if you inherit a mansion like this, the state swoops in and rifles through the whole lot and takes more than 50% at one moment in time (late 90's early 2000's). So NOBODY in their right mind would want to pay tax on what the French govmt decided it was worth, because it's not market value (unless the market is going up ...) but what the govmnt decided ... No wonder so many wealthy French families in the know set up offshore trusts to manage their wealth. In the end nobody is a winner. The uber rich continue to live in France but pay no (or very little) tax thanks to bogus financial set ups, and the state counts on taxing the poor to make up for it all ... A great system ! Now you understand why the rich get richer and the poor (who pay for the rich) get poorer. Looks like they held on to it as long as possible by renting out space/floors/rooms to the elderly and finally had to shut the place down when the State came to make them leave because that's the way it happens with the bailiffs. They turn up early one morning and cart you off. Not the elderly people's fault either; probably the owner who couldn't face the financial burden of the State anymore. This place is most probably listed for sale.

[@nigelcharlton-wright1747]

David Brown owned Aston Martin during the 1950's through to the early 1970's. Hope this helps. Nice property, pity some folk don't close the outside doors or windows.

[@glauberfrasson8960]

Good to see u are touching and opening everything, the untouched videos gave me a terrible anxiety 😂😂

[@FRFRANKIE]

Hi Colin. Hope all is well. That was a very cool video. I can't believe how many pictures were left behind. That looks like a very peaceful property. Stay safe and take care.

[@cardgameenjoyer7446]

Heart warming.

[@greengreenie55]

Another good find, don't know how you find 'em. Don't think I could wander about by my self the way you do, keep it up.

[@joangravel2436]

Thanks for the awesome house I enjoyed watching

[@theresaperry441]

Good video Colin.

[@axioncrypt1879]

Would be nice to see the rooms and spaces more instead of drags of up close shots of the floor or up close on items. Ty for your explore

[@Kitty76]

that furniture !!! drools :)

[@Jennifermcintyre]

Right!! What I wouldn’t do to save so many of those pieces!!

[@jonashillestav12]

Bra att du stängde luckan 👍🇸🇪

[@stomperthemixer1]

Awesome Video Peter and some amazing finds, Watching from The Lakes on a short break and some very iffy footing you were working on, give me the tingles lol. Stay safe buddy.

[@boblloyd75]

Wow, what a place, too bad it was forgotten about. Thanks for closing the sky light, it may delay things a bit.

[@lynncartwright3470]

Absolutely amazing property. Seeing some of the items left, it's clear that there's a huge mixture of decacades of things. But some of the mansions structure and fixtures say and tell a different story. The attic originally was probably for the staff working there. One thing that did stand out was that many items looked very masculine. The only female clue was the hat on the made bed! It really upset me to see all of those photos just gathering dust, they are someones family. But it was odd to see so many photos that had been left out. I wish I could have a lottery win, it would be amazing to restore the manor to an authentic and high standard. It's a beautiful place to raise a family or it would make a stunning restaurant and hotel. I hope (If I don't have a lottery win soon!) that someone buts and restores this as soon as possible before any more damage is done. It will be a big undertaking but will be much worse if left much longer.

[@screwthecabal6453]

That first mural on the wall when you walked in is made of leather. Somebody put a tremendous amount of work into that piece!!!

[@screwthecabal6453]

My God! There are so many valuable antiques in that place!!! How can this happen??? How can someone just let this go with no relatives to claim anything??? How? Why? When? What happened???

[@andybrady9561]

Great content mate, I'm sure David Brown built the gear boxes on the early D B's, you should team up with Adam Mark and see if there's anything in that old mansion 😀

[@EmanuelaAdezio]

🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@cocojo242]

Thank you for closing the sky light but you could have let the butterfly out.

[@paulw9732]

I have to wonder if the racing photos in the attic was a previous owner. That could also explain the lifts on the stairs and other things in the house.

[@MANNYJAY-ji6uv]

Beautiful old place sad to see it decaying wonder what happened to the owners?????

[@SueMansfield-sd6gu]

Will you please lift your camera up. I am fed up with looking at the floor. What about the ceilings?

[@eppityrrell8236]

20:20 I hope you let the butterfly out 😢

[@Tiptop99kg]

If it got in I'm sure it can get out 😊

[@james52462]

This looks very much like the house used in the ww2 film “a bridge too far “

[@atonkazer]

You should have the butterfly 🦋 fly free!

[@paulfromperth5713]

It’s really strange how food and wine is left on the tables. It’s like someone came along and told the residents to all get out, right then, like an eviction.

[@fatblokes_ferguson]

When I see the stair lift outside in was at the top so it could be possible the person who used it was maybe carried out so the person may have had a emergency hence the food and drinks left and was carried out never to return.

I hate it so much when vandals and thieves have their way with home like this, it makes me mad and sad.

[@deborahrodriguez684]

I stopped watching his shows, only because he liked taking videos of old cars. Which if great. But I personally like the ones of old homes. Tonight I thought I'd watch the mansion. Honestly, I don't think he could go through a home That Fast.😮 Now I noticed that if he fines a Car, then watch how much of his attention it gets...😮

[@RetroRatz]

😄👍

[@ernsailor9041]

I may well be wrong but surly that wine in the glass is relatively new, wine is mostly water and a glass of water will evaporate after a matter or months, no way would it still be there after 11 years.

[@kenneth_jensen]

I missed the answer for why this beautiful home was abandon? 😢

[@mike9053]

Do you ever research why the place was abandoned ? Must be a very interesting back story 🤔

It just perks my curiosity as to why people would up and leave in the middle of a meal. What happened...

[@lukeplayer187]

The date on the paper at 18:05 was 26th April 1985. 2 years after I was born.

[@georgehood4133]

Id be paranoid doing this. In the thought that squatters could be in the house.

Would you ever consider spending the night in one of these places, I dare you😂

Dude, it's time to invest in a thesaurus

[@shae-fae355]

Instead of focusing on the decay & mouldy wine, totally pointless, I wish we could have seen more of the old photos, we could have gotten a real feel for the people who once lived there.

[@MarjaCronk-bu1xf]

Please don't go so fast. I want to see the stuff.

[@briantyler689]

I startedwatching your Videos about two weeks ago and i must say I am impressed. However i have been waitng for a new video to share a little something with you. Quite often you are unable to get an estimated date for the building you are exploring due to a lack of calenders and other dating evidence, but in several videos where this has happened you have actually ignored a bit of a clue. Let me explain. I am a numismatist and I hate seeing coins and Tokens left lying abandoned but if there is a lack of dating evidence and the coins are currently circulating then check a few to get a rough idea.

[@DanielBrown-nj3th]

Seems to me the bigger the mansion the messier the people. 🤷

[@ronnielamb5958]

I missed the car content on this channel something fierce love you we should go back to the f****** automotive and tractor content
