    Just when I thought your explores couldn't get any better! This was amazing, what treasure lies in those sheds, a lot of moneys' worth, those lead soldiers for example - a lot. It really needs going through and saving but I imagine it will just end up in the skip, what a crying shame. Fascinating stuff and so enjoyable to watch.😊

      I do think about some of the stuff we walk away from, but hey, it is only material.
      I guess there's a lesson there somewhere!
      Cheers for watching

    Really interesting video. Thanks very much. The home belonged to the founder of British Caledonian Airways, hence all the paperwork relating to aircraft. The owner had been a naval pilot in the Fleet Air Arm, which would probably explain his interest in ships, planes and engineering. As someone mentioned in another comment, he died in 2000.

    The property was for sale for £950,000 but is off the market now. or sale for the first time in 68 years Mxxx Copse is a detached prefabricated 1920's bungalow with later additions situated on a good sized garden plot of approximately 0.67 of an acre. Located on the rural edge of the village, surrounded by farmland and bordering XXX Common at the foot of the XXX Hills, this property offers a unique opportunity to redevelop subject to the usual planning consents. The property is in need of full modernisation and given the nature of its construction is unlikely to be mortgageable in its present form. Given the rarity of opportunities such as this we would highly recommend an early enquiry to avoid disappointment.

    Guys, massive fantasy book nerd here. That Hobbit book matches first editions. There were many reprints of the first edition so they're known as '1st edition, 1st/2nd/etc print or press'.
    Even in that condition that book was anywhere from 5 to 20 grand depending on which pressing it is.

    Decades upon decades of this couples lives is all just sitting there, as if no one wants it or cares, so sad 😢
    You know, you could have dropped Ed off there, left him for a week, gone back and he'd still have been raking through everything, muttering away to himself and yet to notice you'd all gone home 😄😄
    Absolutely loved that, I could happily spend days in there looking through all that stuff myself.
    I wonder what that room off the bathroom was for, that's was so strange wasn't it !
