Just to say that everything that i moved about in the attic was very respectfully put back as found, its just so difficult to do when you have a camera in one hand and a light in the other:) Thanks for watching
Whether it's difficult or not just do it. Be respectful. And do try to do some homework on the place or give some details so the internet sleuths can get to work!
I was only pissed at the part where you threw the books and paper around carelessly. They're in such great condition and you kind of tossed them aside. Its great to see this stuff just think you should be more gentle it comes across as being disrespectful.
The Gun. BKA 98 is a non-firing replica of an 1860 Groswold & Gunnison revolver. It is made by Denix of Spain. The mark BKA is due to an old German law which stated that all the replica weapons should pass a test of the Federal Criminal Police Office Bundeskriminalamt, abbreviated BKA. It was made for collectors, reenactors, theatrical prop, etc.
This once was a magnificent home. What a great find. I would love to have a house like this one. I'm old and retired so I really don't need as much room anymore. My home is less than 1000 sq. ft.. Any ways..this is a wonderful video. I'm just a little old lady in Texas saying"Howdy"..💗🇺🇸💗
Oh I would love to put this place to right. Walls lined with memorabilia. Turned into a beautiful historical B&B. What an absolute time capsule! Glad you were able to explore it and go that extra mile to find that attic! What a find! Where on earths the family?
The ship,in the picture ,was F18,known as the HMS ZULU. She was sunk ,14 September,1942,by German JU-87,and JU-88, aircraft,after bombarding Tobruk,and rescuing some crew members of HMS Sikh.. She suffered 12 killed,27 missing,and 1 wounded.,and the rest were taken up,by HMS Coventry(a cruiser),during "Operation Agreement",a commando raid,on Tobruk. Sikh,and Zulu were destroyers.
I think it's actually HMS Flamingo (L18) which was a sloop that also served in WWII. There was a period where Flamingo carried pennant F18, and served in the Middle East, which lines up with the documents regarding the interrogation Stare found later in the video. So, A.C. Bagley, served on HMS Flamingo into post war, and earned the Defense medal - can't figure it out from there.
@@ScottDunnCA We know that Lt. Cmndr Anthony Foster Bagley and his wife Mary Margaret lived there but don 't know who A.C. Bagley is yet...the Lieutenant did have a brother but still trying to research to find.
@@sinisha61 well done for researching how interesting. What year did the Lieutenant pass away do you know ? I'm interested to know how long the place has been abandoned. As a Lieutenant and obviously a well educated, intelligent man its strange why he never bothered to sort his estate out before he passed away especially since it's so valuable it's probably a listed building. Even if he had no surviving relatives as an ex service man I'm surprised he didn't leave it to Help the Hero's charity or any charity close to his heart. Why he chose to just leave it to get looted, vandalised and rot makes no sense it's blaffling 🤷♀️
It makes me kind of sad watching this, building was once crowded with families, but now has turned into a silent place; people are gone, leaving their belonging all behind, leaving their memory in emptiness.
Yes I agree, it is sad seeing all the families belongings left behind but hopefully someone will live in this beautiful place again and add their own memories. Thanks for watching
Heartbreaking! Such a beautiful mansion gone to waste! Who owns the property now? I can’t believe the previous owners would just abandon their home? Seems like squatters trashed it! Someone needs to take over salvage the antiques,donate anything that can be used . Turn into a museum or B&B or something! 💔
People get old - die - plane-crash? The council are not allowed to just take over - there is a process to find next of kin etc. This all takes time and paperwork - meanwhile the vandals discover and do their work. Sad waste. - Idea: - Someone should set up a voluntary house-watchers group or something of the like to prevent this type of thing happening.
@@daniellebanyard5909 I'd say it was more like someone has gone in looking for valuables to steal and tipped the contents of the drawers out to find anything of value it's obvious the place has been turned over they obviously missed the attic and didn't realise there was anything of value up there. I bet someone has been back and stolen valuables from up there by now.
@@RockeyMarle but most people leave a will so there's no need to search for a next of kin. Its shocking that an intelligent, educated man would not make a will and sort his estate out before he passed away especially since his property is so valuable and filled with valuable possessions. Why he chose to just leave it makes no sense. Even if he had no surviving relatives as an ex service man I'm surprised he didn't leave it to Help the Hero's charity or any charity close to his heart it's selfish to just leave it to be ransacked, vandalised and rot. I'm sure here in the UK if someone dies without leaving a will the government take possession of the property and get the local council to clear it out then sell the property at auction correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure that's how the process works ? I'm guessing the reason the government haven't yet cleared and sold this property is due to the fact it's in a remote location and hasn't yet come to thier attention.
The first owner was Capt. *Arthur Handcock Bagley* (1897-1952), he was a Company Commander in the 8th Rajputs, Indian Army (then led by the British), his wife *Audrey Evelyn Foster* died in 1975. Their son then inherited the house, he was *Anthony Foster Bagley* (1925-2000), He served in the Royal Navy as a Submariner from 1945-1958. Anthony was married to *Mary Margaret Joyce* from 1952 until his death in 2000, Mary was the last occupant of the house, she passed away in 2013 aged 87. That’s Mary on the ID card @10:35.
It's truly a shame to see so many once wealthy British families left to live in what's left of their estates. The money is gone and the cost of maintenance was prohibitive, so the old folks are left with the ruins of their palatial homes, camping out in only a few of the rooms. The good days gone forever and so are they. Again, such a damned shame.
Yes, that's probably what happens - people get old and obsolete, too weak to maintain the place and tradesmen are expensive and some ripoffs. Once the roof starts leaking the ceilings go and wood-rot sets in and it's all downhill from then on.
Everytime i watched abandoned houses... i really wish those books was given to me before the owner abandoned it... coz i really love reading books... haist
So many beautiful pieces of fine China nad Crystal! the furniture also amazing what a terrible shame some on felt a need to trash such a beautiful home!! Why do they do it!! So sad!
Yes it was a real shame it had been completely ransacked like that, and like you said there are still some beautiful items there like the furniture etc. Let's hope it doesn't get any worse as it's a stunning house that deserves to be lived in.
Can not wrap my head around how ppl can be so disrespectful to others possessions. Glad you were able to show some treasures in the attic..it seems the attic holds the undisturbed history of the house's former owner. That does not appear to be a toy gun. If you can recap and get the numbers off it, it can be traced to orig owner. The numbered cross was likely a marker in ground till stone was placed. Really enjoyed this find. Greetings from California. Great video!
Hi MC thanks for the info on that cross, i always wondered what it could be, now it makes sense that it was a pre cross waiting for a more expensive one to be made. Thanks for that
Hi Susan, yes i agree its sad to see really nice old black and white photos just left in these places. There must be family out there somewhere. . . . . . . Thanks for watching
Susan McReynolds, I to do genealogy and have come to know how valueablr those old family photos are in the ancestry world. I often think the same kind of thoughts. With documents as well.
At 6:11 the etching is worth something and @ 7:10 the light blue Wedgwood antique porcelain china dishes and vase, I can't believe it's still there! At 26:54 regarding the cross that is a grave marker in place until they were able to place a head stone. @ 30:38 that pipe is definitely worth something, its made of ivory.
The medals and paper work found in the loft should be in a museum and some photos rather be left to rot or be stolen such shame if there was any family you think they want save bits
Hi Faye, yes its sad that the medals are not proudly displayed on a wall somewhere, hopefully whoever buys the place might be able to track down the family and return them. Thanks for watching
@@stare6711 I suspect by the time someone buys the place it will have been looted unfortunately. Loving your videos I will be binge watching them. Thanks for posting. Have you ever experienced any kind of paranormal activity while exploring these places ?
@native American That doll head thing was weird I dare say no one will steal that but the rest will be gone that's for sure. Me personally I would of taken anything of value sold it and money made would of been donated to some kind of Help the Heroe's charity in honour of the deceased man as an ex service man I'm pretty sure he would approve. The family if there are any obviously don't care about the place or its contents so therefore don't deserve it.
@Jane well done Jane for trying to look into the family history. Me personally I wouldn't give any of those things to the family I would donate them to a history museum and sell all the other valuables and give the money to Help the Hero's charity in honour of the deceased man I just feel the family don't deserve them as they obviously don't care about what happens to the house or its valuable contents. I'm sure since this video other's have been in and stolen everything of value by now.
My grandad used to make gates like that. He was a blacksmith & farrier, worked in the Portsmouth docks & shoed many of the horses that went off to the first World war.
How many memories are destroyed by the intruders, how much history does this palace contain. Every corner contains a story, and every degree contains a memory that hurts pain. I see this ruin that has taken place. I wonder if anyone is allowed to enter this place, as it appears to be private property
The cross was a grave marker, probably later replaced by a gravestone. That interrogation report probably contained something he was not happy about. He retained the information for some reason. Something concerned him. Perhaps he felt the authorities had not taken note of his concerns.
Can you imagine how much good stuff was in the house if that’s what’s left ...look like the family have been through and took anything of real value ...nothing like family to strip a house out ..
This house definitely had my attention. It had beautiful glass, and antiques, I collect Victorian and Edwardian photographs, no offence but you were alittle rough in the contents of the box with the old photos and papers ( In the attic) i thought that you would have put them back as you found them. I would have. Anyway thanks for sharing an amazing house with interesting History.
So, so sad to see people's once loved treasures and memories destroyed. I would have taken the box of medals and documents to the Imperial War museum for safe keeping. They could help trace family or at least keep it together safely. So many lovely vintage things there. People are such animals. Truly awful to see.
Many times, a loved one that was lost/died abroad and could not be returned home, the family would plant a tree or a plant bed of the deceased's favorite flowers/plants was set in place and a commemorative cross driven into the ground in their memory. The pistol may very well be a Lead metal toy but for the most part, the "toy" pistol was a much smaller version of the real thing. From the looks of what you found, it appears to be an old Navy 'cap and ball' pistol (real), usually black powder based, which cannot handle the greater power of modern powders. If this is the case, I hope they don't try to fire it!! The Boar Head appears to be some form or fashion of scrimshaw, usually containing a hidden/recessed pipe bowl scraper. There appear to be sufficient British Naval artifacts, that the medals, pictures and other military goods could be placed in a shadow box, made from the remaining furniture to properly celebrate the contribution of the Leftenant during WWII. Cheers and good hunting!!
Thanks for your interesting comment, yes i thought the gun was made of lead too, very heavy. Interesting what you think on the boars head, i hadnt thought of that: Thanks for watching
THIS is a jackpot find!! SO much fascinating treasures to be discovered! The warthog thing in the world “games-books” is made of, if my eyes are still functioning, ivory! VERY old indeed, although it must’ve been in there a very long time as the ivory would’ve yellowed over the years. My fingers were itching like mad with the desire to let them go explore everything! I admire your sense of respect others’ property,even though they are long dead. You’re a gentleman, my friend! This was truly a find and I was sorry to see you leave without looking around more!
how do you know whose home it was & if you know that, why dont you know the circumstance of its condition?! its very frustrating. are they living? why did they leave so much? etc.. i want to know the history of the occupants more than the messy contents of the home. btw, its not an ex naval lt. unless hes been dishonorably discharged. hes a 'retired' naval officer.
A hoarder lived in this house. Never threw anything away and collected many things. Very sad such a beautiful place went to wreck and ruin. Such a large house would have cost a fortune to maintain.
English manor home the architecture is amazing reminds me of Henry VIII palace at Hampton Court. Sadly, no one plans their death, or even thinks to donate excess belongings to those less fortunate before their demise. Some of the furniture dates to the 40's, bathroom fixtures to the 60's and odds n ends 1970's. Why, why, why do people hoard possessions when so many people are without and why not share before your death?
Hi Gloria, thats a really good idea, why cant these kinda re usable possessions get used by people who need such things rather than being left to rot. Thanks for watching
Hi Chrissy, unfortunately this is what happened to this place, it’s one of the reasons why I don’t do much exploring anymore as these once beautiful buildings that just used to sit there quietly in time get trashed and worse, it doesn’t matter how small the number of people you give the location to it always gets into the wrong hands😔 www.sussexlive.co.uk/news/sussex-news/dramatic-photos-show-fire-ripping-5632243
@@stare6711 That article brought me to tears, I rewatched your video and was in awe of everything and now they’re gone forever. 😭😭. It’s unfortunate that you don’t do much exploring anymore . My point is, you do justice by documenting a time period that once was.
in the US, if the taxes arent paid, the bank, if you have a mortgage, or the gov, puts a lien on the home. if the taxes arent paid within a certain time period, the bank or the gov can auction the home off to recoup some of their losses.
What makes me sad as bout these old homes are the family photos. That history is going to be lost forever. Why must people trash these beautiful homes. I don't get it.
I leapt like a gaffed salmon when the camera panned round and your friend was sitting in the corner! What a lovely old place with some lovely items of furniture. I'd spend all day looking at the books! Those who trashed the place should get a good punch to the scones
I think this could be the old Stubbington House Preparatory School established in 1841 by William Foster. There was a photo that had 3 generations of Fosters. That is why there are so many small rooms and so many books ! There were many pictures with students and staff.
That's a very good guess but William Foster, founder of Stubbington and his son Montague were not related to the Fosters in photo. Also, Lt. Bagley's photo with Audrey confirms this. . . but that was a superb guess.
Hi Linda, yes thats exactly what i think happened, You could probably hear my dissapointment in my voice whilst filming. Like you said they had no reason to do that. Thanks for watching
@@stare6711 Did the owner go into a care home or die .I have done house clearances in the past and believe it or not the people that leave the mess this way was the family members .
Hi Connie, yes this really is a nice looking house and as you said such a shame that the looters have been in there and made such a mess. Thanks for watching
It's sad the people destroyed this man's home by trashing his possessions. He was obviously an avid reader. His family should have taken the photos and his medals at least so they could be preserved and passed on to other generations. At some point it must have been a magnificent home but sadly it has been left to decay.
The box of metals is a game box, open play backgammon out side checkers or chess. The boar's Head look like part of a walking cane and it's probably carved out of ivory and I hope you put it all back together properly. Beautiful fines. The beautiful leather books for protected in that box I hope you close them all back up. The books look like first edition too. And the pink box was pretty awesome with the King and Queens embossment. Looks like the house was turned into a boy's school after WWII. The gun looked like an early to mid 1800's. Some of the china and crockery may be valuable to, I know antique store love to get a hold of the wood furniture. You guys need to try to start some type of preservation foundation to save some of the beautiful artifacts that you find in the homes you explore.
Brilliant explore as always! I’m glad you didn’t twist an ankle in that place. WOW! A 3 hour drive! Now that’s devotion !! Whoa, that looks like a real gun in the attic 😳. So much cool stuff in that attic especially an interrogation report. That doll head was really creepy. Thank you Darren for exploring this gem!! 👍❤️😊
Hey Chrissy, isnt it weird that a house as nice as this with all its contents just get abandoned? Great stuff in the attic, that dolls head thing was pretty freaky and that fake book with the pocket watch inside was a great find:) Thanks again for watching
Just watched this video. very good i like all your explorer homes that you find. Can I ask , when you took so those things out of that fake book box, did you put them back as you found them after filming stopped....
I too was concerned if he took the time to carefully replace the items that were so carelessly tossed out of the game box. Please show just a little more respect when handling such personal and intimate belongings of others. That really got to me seeing those things being tossed around. Thank for sharing. Great find.
So I wonder who owns the house ? You would think some relation was held come foward some one must have known the people living there , or why haven’t the authority’s tried to find out who it belongs to
That is a very classical style and beautiful mansion, so sad to see it in gradual decay, a total waste. Have you done any research on the history of the place.
When I watch something like this? Specially when you went to the attic? The cross? There’s a name,do you ever want to find out, curious? Maybe contact the city and find out ? I have a lot of respect with a men in uniform, the picture , black n white the two old men n a little boy? The picture of the beautiful woman. The history of that mansion? Who are his siblings, children if he have any? Or married? Your making a video about this ? There’s a lot of antiques etc. But the most important thing for me? His memorabilia, he served his country with dignity, therefore those memorabilia should be preserved, or goes to his family. But thank you for the video. So sad😢🙏🙏
Hi Liza, thanks for your comment, yes i agree there must be family out there somewhere, maybe living abroad? Just hope someone can at least have and cherish his war medals. Thanks for watching
What a brave man you are to tromp through all that mess. Such a shame that it was just soooo ransacked. Almost looks like a Hoarder house. Must have been amazing in its day. Thanks for showing it to us.
I’m a mini military historian and collect war relics and Militaria and my heart hurts knowing those medals and letters and stuff just sit there. I wish I could take them and they would be well taken care of and honoured.
Hi Matthew, yes I know what you mean about the military stuff, to go through what those guys went through in the wars, they need to be hung on a wall somewhere and appreciated by the family. Thanks for watching
@Deborah Cowley Ok so you are insinuating here that he has staged it with stuff from his backpack...further down the comment section you insinuate he is a thief. Which is it?! Looks like the lockdown boredom has rotted your brain. Move on, you're not f**king welcome here moron!!
@@karenbailey7081 I don't understand why the owner didn't sort his estate out before he passed away especially since this one is extremely valuable. Obviously he was an intelligent, educated man. If he had no surviving relatives as an ex service man he could of left it to Help for the Hero's charity or any charity that was close to his heart. It's selfish just to leave it to be ransacked, vandalised and rot. What did he honestly expect. When something has been abandoned it means it's uncared for and unwanted so therefore other people will take it.
@@ginacable5376 I'm just going on what ive seen from what I can see they lived into old age therefore would of had plenty of time to sort thier estate out especially as it's no doubt a listed building and very valuable as well as all the valuable belongings.
Hi Karen, yes i did put everything back where i found it in the attic, just soooo difficult when you have a camera in one hand and a light in the other:)
That Pistol is a cap and ball pistol. It is not a toy but requires loading each cylinder with a lead ball after priming the cylinder. Then a Ballistic Cap is put onto each firing position on the cylinder. It also may require that the hammer be manually drawn back for each shot.
Look up at the second floor window on the left as Stare walks to the front door. At 1.32 something white flashes by the bottom right pain. If you play with it and get to the very end of 1.32 you will catch it. It moves across during the end of the second. I saw something but wanted to make sure I wasn't imagining it so I asked my wife what she saw, she saw the white flash by, then I showed her the frame ( which took a few tries to catch at the end of that second) and immediately said the face of a little girl. That was what I saw as well. Does anyone else see it? And Shade can you catch it with the original and be able to capture it better ? Thanks.
There was movement but I couldn't make out what it was and it seemed a face was looking out the window but I can't say if it was a boy or girl just a small face however it was in the left pane near the bottom not the right as you described then sudden movement in the right upper pane like someone moved
@@santinowilliams693 Yes, I should have added that detail. The face is in the bottom left pain then the white flurry to the right and the face again for a fraction of a second in the bottom right pain, then the camera moves on. It was very hard for me to stop the tape to catch the bottom right face but after a lot of misses I got it. Not sure what this was or what caused it. With all of the CCTV in the world I do not know why we are not flooded with film/pics of these things if they exist. Logically I cannot accept the existence of ghosts except for the inexplicable fact that I saw the same one multiple times in our home of a little girl that came and went right before my very eyes. The strange part, other than the obvious, was that she was always looking at me. My wife and daughter saw her as well on different occasions. ???
I wish I were there!! At around @5:20 it looks like there is an antique Steiff teddy bear sitting there. If it is one of their early ones it could be worth $1,000-$5,000!! Please go get it for me and ship it to New York, lol 😜
STARE. Thanks again for your tours. Actually all the stuff laying around looks in pretty good shape. Tossed around but not broken. How long has the Lieutenants mansion been vacant. Oh... 2014. So not that old. Thank you sir.
Hi Ken, yes your right the stuff on the floors is in good shape, i just wish these vandals didnt throw stuff everywhere whilst looking for valubles. Thanks for watching
New sub! Enjoying this. Beautiful pictures sad to see such elegance being ruined by mindless imbeciles. Great work on your part nice and slow gave me time to get a feeing of this gorgeous place, many thanks 🙏
The house was last occupied by a hoarder. A huge task just to shovel the mounds of trash. Probably would need 3 to 4 dumpsters to hold the trash. The gun and few other things in the attic might be worth something. Them again they might just be more trash.
Hi Patricia, yes the place was packed full of stuff, some of it was really interesting and should be looked after rather than just lying on the floor. Hopefully when the house gets bought by someone some of the items can be saved:) Thanks for watching
This house is like a maze--it has so many long narrow hallways. Too sad that savages trashed the place. Is the style of the home "Arts and Crafts?--I don't know much about styles but some features remind me of that one. It is really beautiful in spite of its current state.
He probably died but instead of making a will he chose to just leave it. I'm surprised as an ex service man that he didn't leave it to help the Hero's charity or any other charity close to his heart it's selfish to leave it all to get vandalised, ransacked and rot.
The funny looking car in the photo was probably a Messerschmidt, although I think Singer built something similar. The framed photo upstairs of the pony and dog , I've seen before in a book on horses and riding. Sadly, I don't have it any more. The wooden cross is a grave marker with its row and plot number. Presumably it was later replaced by a standard Commonwealth War Graves headstone, it would be interesting to research the name. Its a strange house, more like an institution than a family home, and you have decent furniture and pretty cheap furniture all together.
I see plenty of baby stuff that I assume meant he had kids-why didn't they clean up his stuff when he passed? I saw his cane so he couldn't do that much cleaning. I don't understand why kids don't clean up after the passing of family. It seems so disrespectful. Are they lazy? I'm glad you were careful. I enjoyed seeing his World War 2 stuff. Really hope he wasn't lonely in the end!
Not really a 'secret' box, it is a gaming box...draughts or chess board on the outside Backgammon on the inside. The inside would hold the gaming pieces but they obviously got lost over the years so the Lieutenant reused the box to store items that meant something to him. The gun is a replica.
Doubt it with so many things lying helter skelter all over the place. I agree, a proper Explorer would place items back as they were found, but it seems the place was ransacked for valuables and items discarded here and there. Reminds me of the home of Ebenezer Scrooge when his curtains were stolen from his bed to be sold at the black market.
Y eso va a pasar con todos mis pequeños tesoros, los libros que mas leo, mis tejidos, las fotos.... :( . Me gustó muchísimo este pequeño documental de la vida.... muy triste y desesperante, porque le espera la destrucción. Saludos desde Argentina!!
It’s such a shame to see a house this beautiful just left to fall apart like that. The family history inside this place really goes back, to also have military medals in the attic that no one cares about is very sad. I hope that someone one day can buy this place and sell the antiques before they get too badly damaged. Thanks for watching
Once the mould covers the books they are useless. It's better to collect these books while they aren't completely damaged and donate them to a local library. 📚📘📖 #booklover
I get mad when people gets in abandoned houses and do not left the things as they descovered in the same place and position, it is all about respect, to bad for you.
Minerva Ibarra is there such a thing as an abandoned house? Someone owns it... just because they are not living there does not mean they want people entering it. I have two houses that I do not live and both are in rural woods setting. both are full of my personal property like furniture, taxidermy, etc. It’s my property and I do not want people rummaging through it. I appreciate your thoughts on respect and not disturbing anything but true respect would be not entering the property in the first place.
@@AAA-nq6bo the difference is it's obvious these places that Stare explore's are abandoned no one wants them no one cares about them no one takes ownership for them or even bothers to secure them.
Maria Bushen my question to you is... how do you know that it’s abandoned? I can only visit one of my properties once a year and I actually skipped a year before. Because I stop once a year does not mean I have abandoned the property. I bought it, I paid for the everything inside, I own it, I pay taxes on it, I pay the utility bills.. if people break in and trash your house while your gone does that give me permission to go inside your house with a camera and make a UA-cam video showing how it was trashed and your put all your personal items out on UA-cam? I am not a wealthy man and that’s one of the reasons I can’t always get to the farthest remote property but someday i hope to retire and spend the winter months there as its warmer. My point is... there is no such thing as abandoned property! Someone owns every piece of property in the country. by law you do not have the right to go into other people’s property without permission.
Hi Kelly, yes your right its not nice to see all those family items all over the place like that, wish people would respect the places they visit more. Thanks for watching
its crazy i spending my night for looking information about thomas john middleton everywhere ...its stucked in my head )))what state is it ? omg i really want to know about this person lol
So someone was stationed in Iraq and assigned to investigate a collision at sea between an Iraqi vessel and an Indian vessel. Britain maintained military bases in Iraq until ' 54

Whether it's difficult or not just do it. Be respectful. And do try to do some homework on the place or give some details so the internet sleuths can get to work!
@@rocket7697 I'm pretty sure who the house belonged to.

The Gun.
BKA 98 is a non-firing replica of an 1860 Groswold & Gunnison revolver. It is made by Denix of Spain. The mark BKA is due to an old German law which stated that all the replica weapons should pass a test of the Federal Criminal Police Office Bundeskriminalamt, abbreviated BKA. It was made for collectors, reenactors, theatrical prop, etc.
Wow that's worth some money then ?
Brilliant! Thanks for that info.
Made by Denix but made in China under contract.
This once was a magnificent home. What a great find. I would love to have a house like this one. I'm old and retired so I really don't need as much room anymore. My home is less than 1000 sq. ft.. Any ways..this is a wonderful video. I'm just a little old lady in Texas saying"Howdy"..💗🇺🇸💗

Hi John, fantastic info, that was a pleasure to read. Thanks
I think it's actually HMS Flamingo (L18) which was a sloop that also served in WWII. There was a period where Flamingo carried pennant F18, and served in the Middle East, which lines up with the documents regarding the interrogation Stare found later in the video. So, A.C. Bagley, served on HMS Flamingo into post war, and earned the Defense medal - can't figure it out from there.

As a Lieutenant and obviously a well educated, intelligent man its strange why he never bothered to sort his estate out before he passed away especially since it's so valuable it's probably a listed building. Even if he had no surviving relatives as an ex service man I'm surprised he didn't leave it to Help the Hero's charity or any charity close to his heart. Why he chose to just leave it to get looted, vandalised and rot makes no sense it's blaffling 🤷♀️
@@sinisha61 could AC Bagley be his son ?
The cross was a burial marker probably removed and kept once they got a proper headstone for the grave
It makes me kind of sad watching this, building was once crowded with families, but now has turned into a silent place; people are gone, leaving their belonging all behind, leaving their memory in emptiness.
Yes I agree, it is sad seeing all the families belongings left behind but hopefully someone will live in this beautiful place again and add their own memories. Thanks for watching
Heartbreaking! Such a beautiful mansion gone to waste! Who owns the property now? I can’t believe the previous owners would just abandon their home? Seems like squatters trashed it! Someone needs to take over salvage the antiques,donate anything that can be used . Turn into a museum or B&B or something! 💔
People get old - die - plane-crash? The council are not allowed to just take over - there is a process to find next of kin etc. This all takes time and paperwork - meanwhile the vandals discover and do their work. Sad waste. - Idea: - Someone should set up a voluntary house-watchers group or something of the like to prevent this type of thing happening.
That is not squatter, that is kids.
@@daniellebanyard5909 I'd say it was more like someone has gone in looking for valuables to steal and tipped the contents of the drawers out to find anything of value it's obvious the place has been turned over they obviously missed the attic and didn't realise there was anything of value up there.
I bet someone has been back and stolen valuables from up there by now.
@@RockeyMarle but most people leave a will so there's no need to search for a next of kin. Its shocking that an intelligent, educated man would not make a will and sort his estate out before he passed away especially since his property is so valuable and filled with valuable possessions. Why he chose to just leave it makes no sense. Even if he had no surviving relatives as an ex service man I'm surprised he didn't leave it to Help the Hero's charity or any charity close to his heart it's selfish to just leave it to be ransacked, vandalised and rot. I'm sure here in the UK if someone dies without leaving a will the government take possession of the property and get the local council to clear it out then sell the property at auction correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure that's how the process works ?
I'm guessing the reason the government haven't yet cleared and sold this property is due to the fact it's in a remote location and hasn't yet come to thier attention.
@@sugarsundae3400 He may have had a will leaving the property to his wife and then she passed away years later without one.
The first owner was Capt. *Arthur Handcock Bagley* (1897-1952), he was a Company Commander in the 8th Rajputs, Indian Army (then led by the British), his wife *Audrey Evelyn Foster* died in 1975.
Their son then inherited the house, he was *Anthony Foster Bagley* (1925-2000), He served in the Royal Navy as a Submariner from 1945-1958.
Anthony was married to *Mary Margaret Joyce* from 1952 until his death in 2000, Mary was the last occupant of the house, she passed away in 2013 aged 87.
That’s Mary on the ID card @10:35.
Wow John that is some fantastic background info on the family that once lived in this beautiful old house. Fascinating to read, thanks so much:)
It's truly a shame to see so many once wealthy British families left to live in what's left of their estates. The money is gone and the cost of maintenance was prohibitive, so the old folks are left with the ruins of their palatial homes, camping out in only a few of the rooms. The good days gone forever and so are they. Again, such a damned shame.
Yes, that's probably what happens - people get old and obsolete, too weak to maintain the place and tradesmen are expensive and some ripoffs. Once the roof starts leaking the ceilings go and wood-rot sets in and it's all downhill from then on.
I would love to own this place. It's so beautiful. So sad no one is taking care of it.
Everytime i watched abandoned houses... i really wish those books was given to me before the owner abandoned it... coz i really love reading books... haist
So many beautiful pieces of fine China nad Crystal! the furniture also amazing what a terrible shame some on felt a need to trash such a beautiful home!! Why do they do it!! So sad!
Yes it was a real shame it had been completely ransacked like that, and like you said there are still some beautiful items there like the furniture etc. Let's hope it doesn't get any worse as it's a stunning house that deserves to be lived in.
Next step - they will set it on fire - then all is lost forever.
Can not wrap my head around how ppl can be so disrespectful to others possessions. Glad you were able to show some treasures in the attic..it seems the attic holds the undisturbed history of the house's former owner. That does not appear to be a toy gun. If you can recap and get the numbers off it, it can be traced to orig owner. The numbered cross was likely a marker in ground till stone was placed. Really enjoyed this find. Greetings from California. Great video!
Hi MC thanks for the info on that cross, i always wondered what it could be, now it makes sense that it was a pre cross waiting for a more expensive one to be made. Thanks for that
As a genealogist, my heart bleeds every time there are family photos left behind.
Hi Susan, yes i agree its sad to see really nice old black and white photos just left in these places. There must be family out there somewhere. . . . . . . Thanks for watching
Susan McReynolds, I to do genealogy and have come to know how valueablr those old family photos are in the ancestry world. I often think the same kind of thoughts. With documents as well.
Me too.... :(
I would be in Heaven exploring a place like this!! 👏 Bravo!
The antiques in there alone are worth omg so much. Such a shame that they are just going to waste.
At 6:11 the etching is worth something and @ 7:10 the light blue Wedgwood antique porcelain china dishes and vase, I can't believe it's still there! At 26:54 regarding the cross that is a grave marker in place until they were able to place a head stone. @ 30:38 that pipe is definitely worth something, its made of ivory.
That is china blue Wedgewood, worth a pretty penny.
Hi Teresa, thanks for all that info especially about the wooden cross, it now makes sense what it was used for. Thanks for watching
Not to mention the 1902 encyclopedias
The medals and paper work found in the loft should be in a museum and some photos rather be left to rot or be stolen such shame if there was any family you think they want save bits
Hi Faye, yes its sad that the medals are not proudly displayed on a wall somewhere, hopefully whoever buys the place might be able to track down the family and return them. Thanks for watching
apparently there a son in the uk there ive seen another explorer do this house, that photo of the 2 man n boy is father n son n the son son
@@stare6711 I suspect by the time someone buys the place it will have been looted unfortunately.
Loving your videos I will be binge watching them. Thanks for posting. Have you ever experienced any kind of paranormal activity while exploring these places ?
@native American That doll head thing was weird I dare say no one will steal that but the rest will be gone that's for sure. Me personally I would of taken anything of value sold it and money made would of been donated to some kind of Help the Heroe's charity in honour of the deceased man as an ex service man I'm pretty sure he would approve.
The family if there are any obviously don't care about the place or its contents so therefore don't deserve it.
@Jane well done Jane for trying to look into the family history.
Me personally I wouldn't give any of those things to the family I would donate them to a history museum and sell all the other valuables and give the money to Help the Hero's charity in honour of the deceased man
I just feel the family don't deserve them as they obviously don't care about what happens to the house or its valuable contents. I'm sure since this video other's have been in and stolen everything of value by now.
My grandad used to make gates like that. He was a blacksmith & farrier, worked in the Portsmouth docks & shoed many of the horses that went off to the first World war.
very cool!
Absolutely beautiful. Especially the old leaded windows
Yes the windows are really nice and unusual. Thanks for watching
How many memories are destroyed by the intruders, how much history does this palace contain. Every corner contains a story, and every degree contains a memory that hurts pain. I see this ruin that has taken place.
I wonder if anyone is allowed to enter this place, as it appears to be private property
The cross was a grave marker, probably later replaced by a gravestone. That interrogation report probably contained something he was not happy about. He retained the information for some reason. Something concerned him. Perhaps he felt the authorities had not taken note of his concerns.
It was a messy affair in Aden.
Can you imagine how much good stuff was in the house if that’s what’s left ...look like the family have been through and took anything of real value ...nothing like family to strip a house out ..
I wonder why the family just left it. Can you find out?
This house definitely had my attention. It had beautiful glass, and antiques, I collect Victorian and Edwardian photographs, no offence but you were alittle rough in the contents of the box with the old photos and papers ( In the attic) i thought that you would have put them back as you found them. I would have. Anyway thanks for sharing an amazing house with interesting History.
The gun is a Colt Model 1851 Navy Percussion Cap Revolver.
It is an air gun with the pump lever under the barrel.
It’s a replica. The BKA mark means it’s not real.
So, so sad to see people's once loved treasures and memories destroyed. I would have taken the box of medals and documents to the Imperial War museum for safe keeping. They could help trace family or at least keep it together safely. So many lovely vintage things there. People are such animals. Truly awful to see.
Many times, a loved one that was lost/died abroad and could not be returned home, the family would plant a tree or a plant bed of the deceased's favorite flowers/plants was set in place and a commemorative cross driven into the ground in their memory.
The pistol may very well be a Lead metal toy but for the most part, the "toy" pistol was a much smaller version of the real thing. From the looks of what you found, it appears to be an old Navy 'cap and ball' pistol (real), usually black powder based, which cannot handle the greater power of modern powders. If this is the case, I hope they don't try to fire it!!
The Boar Head appears to be some form or fashion of scrimshaw, usually containing a hidden/recessed pipe bowl scraper.
There appear to be sufficient British Naval artifacts, that the medals, pictures and other military goods could be placed in a shadow box, made from the remaining furniture to properly celebrate the contribution of the Leftenant during WWII. Cheers and good hunting!!
Thanks for your interesting comment, yes i thought the gun was made of lead too, very heavy. Interesting what you think on the boars head, i hadnt thought of that: Thanks for watching
THIS is a jackpot find!! SO much fascinating treasures to be discovered! The warthog thing in the world “games-books” is made of, if my eyes are still functioning, ivory! VERY old indeed, although it must’ve been in there a very long time as the ivory would’ve yellowed over the years.
My fingers were itching like mad with the desire to let them go explore everything! I admire your sense of respect others’ property,even though they are long dead.
You’re a gentleman, my friend! This was truly a find and I was sorry to see you leave without looking around more!
Why didnt you focus on the address/ recipient of the Debenhams box ffs? Goods sent 2/2/5?
That wardrobe was stunning
how do you know whose home it was & if you know that, why dont you know the circumstance of its condition?! its very frustrating. are they living? why did they leave so much? etc.. i want to know the history of the occupants more than the messy contents of the home. btw, its not an ex naval lt. unless hes been dishonorably discharged. hes a 'retired' naval officer.
I belive the odd dolls' head in the bracket next to the pistol was a doll- maker's porcelain head moulde.
A hoarder lived in this house. Never threw anything away and collected many things. Very sad such a beautiful place went to wreck and ruin. Such a large house would have cost a fortune to maintain.
English manor home the architecture is amazing reminds me of Henry VIII palace at Hampton Court. Sadly, no one plans their death, or even thinks to donate excess belongings to those less fortunate before their demise. Some of the furniture dates to the 40's, bathroom fixtures to the 60's and odds n ends 1970's. Why, why, why do people hoard possessions when so many people are without and why not share before your death?
Hi Gloria, thats a really good idea, why cant these kinda re usable possessions get used by people who need such things rather than being left to rot. Thanks for watching
Why hasn't someone from the family gone through this house or at the very lease someone salvage the beautiful woodwork and mantels.
Hi Darren, I’m watching this video again as I found it fascinating! Thank you for documenting this home.
Hi Chrissy, unfortunately this is what happened to this place, it’s one of the reasons why I don’t do much exploring anymore as these once beautiful buildings that just used to sit there quietly in time get trashed and worse, it doesn’t matter how small the number of people you give the location to it always gets into the wrong hands😔
www.sussexlive.co.uk/news/sussex-news/dramatic-photos-show-fire-ripping-5632243
@@stare6711 That article brought me to tears, I rewatched your video and was in awe of everything and now they’re gone forever. 😭😭. It’s unfortunate that you don’t do much exploring anymore . My point is, you do justice by documenting a time period that once was.
Doesn't someone still have to pay taxes on all these abandoned estates?
That's what I was wondering?
in the US, if the taxes arent paid, the bank, if you have a mortgage, or the gov, puts a lien on the home. if the taxes arent paid within a certain time period, the bank or the gov can auction the home off to recoup some of their losses.
I imagine you learn pretty quick not to open refrigerators.
Ww2 stuff,very cool . I like the pocket watch👍
When I see a beautiful old place like that so trashed and disrespected it makes my blood boil!
What makes me sad as bout these old homes are the family photos. That history is going to be lost forever. Why must people trash these beautiful homes. I don't get it.
I leapt like a gaffed salmon when the camera panned round and your friend was sitting in the corner! What a lovely old place with some lovely items of furniture. I'd spend all day looking at the books! Those who trashed the place should get a good punch to the scones
I think this could be the old Stubbington House Preparatory School established in 1841 by William Foster. There was a photo that had 3 generations of Fosters. That is why there are so many small rooms and so many books ! There were many pictures with students and staff.
That's a very good guess but William Foster, founder of Stubbington and his son Montague were not related to the Fosters in photo. Also, Lt. Bagley's photo with Audrey confirms this. . . but that was a superb guess.
Wow I did not expect to see it in this shape from what it looked like outside. I love the fireplace! Stunning find! Thank you sharing.
Hi Pamela, yes the inside was also a shock for me too. I also loved that huge fireplace:) Thanks for watching
It looks like someone went in and went through everything throwing it all over the floor. It's sad. They had no reason for that
Hi Linda, yes thats exactly what i think happened, You could probably hear my dissapointment in my voice whilst filming. Like you said they had no reason to do that. Thanks for watching
@@stare6711 Did the owner go into a care home or die .I have done house clearances in the past and believe it or not the people that leave the mess this way was the family members .
Wow, you can see, the looters were here.. What a beautiful place this once was.
Hi Connie, yes this really is a nice looking house and as you said such a shame that the looters have been in there and made such a mess. Thanks for watching
It's sad the people destroyed this man's home by trashing his possessions. He was obviously an avid reader. His family should have taken the photos and his medals at least so they could be preserved and passed on to other generations. At some point it must have been a magnificent home but sadly it has been left to decay.
The box of metals is a game box, open play backgammon out side checkers or chess. The boar's Head look like part of a walking cane and it's probably carved out of ivory and I hope you put it all back together properly. Beautiful fines. The beautiful leather books for protected in that box I hope you close them all back up. The books look like first edition too. And the pink box was pretty awesome with the King and Queens embossment. Looks like the house was turned into a boy's school after WWII. The gun looked like an early to mid 1800's. Some of the china and crockery may be valuable to, I know antique store love to get a hold of the wood furniture.
You guys need to try to start some type of preservation foundation to save some of the beautiful artifacts that you find in the homes you explore.
Brilliant explore as always! I’m glad you didn’t twist an ankle in that place. WOW! A 3 hour drive! Now that’s devotion !! Whoa, that looks like a real gun in the attic 😳. So much cool stuff in that attic especially an interrogation report. That doll head was really creepy. Thank you Darren for exploring this gem!! 👍❤️😊
Hey Chrissy, isnt it weird that a house as nice as this with all its contents just get abandoned? Great stuff in the attic, that dolls head thing was pretty freaky and that fake book with the pocket watch inside was a great find:) Thanks again for watching
HAPPY EASTER Darren!!
The little red car at the picturegerman german Messerschmitt Kabinenroller I think. A car from the 50s.
Quite a lot of books (prolific readers?) and multiple pictures of assembled students and staff...perhaps it was a boarding school for a period?
Just watched this video. very good i like all your explorer homes that you find. Can I ask , when you took so those things out of that fake book box, did you put them back as you found them after filming stopped....
Hi Judith, yes i always put things back where i found them after filming so other explorers can see them in their original places. Thanks for watching
I too was concerned if he took the time to carefully replace the items that were so carelessly tossed out of the game box. Please show just a little more respect when handling such personal and intimate belongings of others. That really got to me seeing those things being tossed around. Thank for sharing. Great find.
This place just keeps going on and on, would love to know the history of the home, the outside architecture looks pretty old.
Hi Jean, yes its a really beautiful old building isnt it. Thanks for watching
The little red car is called a bubble car they were around in the 60s & early 70s, the whole front opened up for driver and passenger.
Hi Pat, that car is soooo different from any other car ive ever seen, cool little thing and probably quite collectable now:) Thanks for watching
I think you will find that its a messerschmidt motor car, 2 seater.
So I wonder who owns the house ? You would think some relation was held come foward some one must have known the people living there , or why haven’t the authority’s tried to find out who it belongs to
That is a very classical style and beautiful mansion, so sad to see it in gradual decay, a total waste.
Have you done any research on the history of the place.
When I watch something like this? Specially when you went to the attic? The cross? There’s a name,do you ever want to find out, curious? Maybe contact the city and find out ? I have a lot of respect with a men in uniform, the picture , black n white the two old men n a little boy? The picture of the beautiful woman. The history of that mansion? Who are his siblings, children if he have any? Or married? Your making a video about this ? There’s a lot of antiques etc. But the most important thing for me? His memorabilia, he served his country with dignity, therefore those memorabilia should be preserved, or goes to his family. But thank you for the video. So sad😢🙏🙏
Hi Liza, thanks for your comment, yes i agree there must be family out there somewhere, maybe living abroad? Just hope someone can at least have and cherish his war medals. Thanks for watching
What a brave man you are to tromp through all that mess. Such a shame that it was just soooo ransacked. Almost looks like a Hoarder house. Must have been amazing in its day. Thanks for showing it to us.
Hi Ebbra, yes i bet in its day it was such a nice place to be:) Thanks for watching
I can't get over all the books!!! So many!! Yes, I agree it's all trashed. No respect for others home.
That gun you found in the basket is the real thing. It's a 1800s model. You pull the lever below the barrel and it ejects the bullets. Amazing find.
Some fabulous and even some expensive antiques in there! Let me at it!
Hi Bobbye, yes your right, lots of amazing old antiques and other items in that place, just the kinda place I love exploring:) Thanks for watching
I’m a mini military historian and collect war relics and Militaria and my heart hurts knowing those medals and letters and stuff just sit there. I wish I could take them and they would be well taken care of and honoured.
Hi Matthew, yes I know what you mean about the military stuff, to go through what those guys went through in the wars, they need to be hung on a wall somewhere and appreciated by the family. Thanks for watching
Really outstanding work...especially the last few minutes when you found a jackpot! Well done, what a great place.
Thanks Wendy, that stuff in the attic was great to find but that metal dolls head thing. . . . . . . . Scary
I am wondering if that was some sort of mould for making doll's heads? Perhaps pouring something inside...weird it was in the Lieutenants home though!
yes you could be right with it being a mould for dolls heads as the bottom did unscrew so something could be poured inside. Thanks for the info
Well some had backpacks on
@Deborah Cowley
Ok so you are insinuating here that he has staged it with stuff from his backpack...further down the comment section you insinuate he is a thief.
Which is it?!
Looks like the lockdown boredom has rotted your brain.
Move on, you're not f**king welcome here moron!!
I really enjoyed seeing this treasure of a home; however, I had to stop watching because the state of it was making me so anxious! Seriously.
Same
@@karenbailey7081 I don't understand why the owner didn't sort his estate out before he passed away especially since this one is extremely valuable. Obviously he was an intelligent, educated man.
If he had no surviving relatives as an ex service man he could of left it to Help for the Hero's charity or any charity that was close to his heart.
It's selfish just to leave it to be ransacked, vandalised and rot. What did he honestly expect. When something has been abandoned it means it's uncared for and unwanted so therefore other people will take it.
@@sugarsundae3400 maybe he died suddenly before he got his affairs in order.
@@ginacable5376 I'm just going on what ive seen from what I can see they lived into old age therefore would of had plenty of time to sort thier estate out especially as it's no doubt a listed building and very valuable as well as all the valuable belongings.

Awesome Find, You Did a Good Job Getting Around in That Huge Mess, Lots of Stuff Should Be Saved etc...
If it was me, I would have put all that stuff back into the basket. Instead of leaving it there looking like I trashed the place. 😒
Hi Karen, yes i did put everything back where i found it in the attic, just soooo difficult when you have a camera in one hand and a light in the other:)
That Pistol is a cap and ball pistol. It is not a toy but requires loading each cylinder with a lead ball after priming the cylinder. Then a Ballistic Cap is put onto each firing position on the cylinder. It also may require that the hammer be manually drawn back for each shot.
Look up at the second floor window on the left as Stare walks to the front door. At 1.32 something white flashes by the bottom right pain. If you play with it and get to the very end of 1.32 you will catch it. It moves across during the end of the second. I saw something but wanted to make sure I wasn't imagining it so I asked my wife what she saw, she saw the white flash by, then I showed her the frame ( which took a few tries to catch at the end of that second) and immediately said the face of a little girl. That was what I saw as well. Does anyone else see it? And Shade can you catch it with the original and be able to capture it better ? Thanks.
Robert Gustison I saw it. Probably just a reflection. 🤷♂️
There was movement but I couldn't make out what it was and it seemed a face was looking out the window but I can't say if it was a boy or girl just a small face however it was in the left pane near the bottom not the right as you described then sudden movement in the right upper pane like someone moved
@@santinowilliams693 Yes, I should have added that detail. The face is in the bottom left pain then the white flurry to the right and the face again for a fraction of a second in the bottom right pain, then the camera moves on. It was very hard for me to stop the tape to catch the bottom right face but after a lot of misses I got it. Not sure what this was or what caused it. With all of the CCTV in the world I do not know why we are not flooded with film/pics of these things if they exist. Logically I cannot accept the existence of ghosts except for the inexplicable fact that I saw the same one multiple times in our home of a little girl that came and went right before my very eyes. The strange part, other than the obvious, was that she was always looking at me. My wife and daughter saw her as well on different occasions. ???
It very respectful with peoples things throwing them about they are actually valuable
I wish I were there!! At around @5:20 it looks like there is an antique Steiff teddy bear sitting there. If it is one of their early ones it could be worth $1,000-$5,000!! Please go get it for me and ship it to New York, lol 😜
STARE. Thanks again for your tours. Actually all the stuff laying around looks in pretty good shape. Tossed around but not broken. How long has the Lieutenants mansion been vacant. Oh... 2014. So not that old. Thank you sir.
Hi Ken, yes your right the stuff on the floors is in good shape, i just wish these vandals didnt throw stuff everywhere whilst looking for valubles. Thanks for watching
New sub! Enjoying this. Beautiful pictures sad to see such elegance being ruined by mindless imbeciles. Great work on your part nice and slow gave me time to get a feeing of this gorgeous place, many thanks 🙏
Ho Laois, glad you enjoyed the tour and yes your right its a georgeous place:) Thanks for watching
The house looks so big outside but didn’t seem so inside
Perhaps because the rooms were small and cluttered.
Kathy Lingen yeah maybe that could be why
Besides that the Square footage is probably a lot.
Hubby said gun you found looked like an old Navy Colt cap and ball. Great explore wish I could save these places it's sad.
Such beautiful birdsong at the beginning of the video.
Yes i remember that bird, it sounded so loud like id added a sound effect:)
@@stare6711 Natural sound effects are always the best.
That box you call fake book. Was a game for chess and backgammon, the pieces would be kept inside the box, to keep it all together.
Hi Paul, thanks for the info on the games box, looked pretty old too:) Thanks for watching
The house was last occupied by a hoarder. A huge task just to shovel the mounds of trash. Probably would need 3 to 4 dumpsters to hold the trash. The gun and few other things in the attic might be worth something. Them again they might just be more trash.
Hi Patricia, yes the place was packed full of stuff, some of it was really interesting and should be looked after rather than just lying on the floor. Hopefully when the house gets bought by someone some of the items can be saved:) Thanks for watching
Patricia Peterson I wondered if it was a hoarder. I think the boar from the attic box was probably the top of a cane
This house is like a maze--it has so many long narrow hallways. Too sad that savages trashed the place. Is the style of the home "Arts and Crafts?--I don't know much about styles but some features remind me of that one. It is really beautiful in spite of its current state.
Hi Jane, yes its a beautiful house isnt it, just hope someone buys the place and restores it back to its former glory:) Thanks for watching
nice channel ... always watching before bed time lol ))
Hi Mika, I’m glad your enjoying the videos, hope you don’t fall asleep whilst watching them though:)
Magnificent building but who just ups and leaves, leaving all their personal belongings behind?
He probably died but instead of making a will he chose to just leave it. I'm surprised as an ex service man that he didn't leave it to help the Hero's charity or any other charity close to his heart it's selfish to leave it all to get vandalised, ransacked and rot.
The funny looking car in the photo was probably a Messerschmidt, although I think Singer built something similar. The framed photo upstairs of the pony and dog , I've seen before in a book on horses and riding. Sadly, I don't have it any more. The wooden cross is a grave marker with its row and plot number. Presumably it was later replaced by a standard Commonwealth War Graves headstone, it would be interesting to research the name. Its a strange house, more like an institution than a family home, and you have decent furniture and pretty cheap furniture all together.
Hi Helen, yes that cool looking car is quite collectable these days. Thanks for your interesting comment:)
I see plenty of baby stuff that I assume meant he had kids-why didn't they clean up his stuff when he passed? I saw his cane so he couldn't do that much cleaning. I don't understand why kids don't clean up after the passing of family. It seems so disrespectful. Are they lazy? I'm glad you were careful. I enjoyed seeing his World War 2 stuff. Really hope he wasn't lonely in the end!
Looked like kids stuff from the ages of 6-17 mainly. The foot ball shoes and the baby chair.
One thing about them, they certainly were avid readers.
Books were a main source of personal entertainment before computers & televisions were everywhere.
Hi, Iam not the gun expert, but it looks real. I am sure that it has sad history together with this cross, medal and secret box.
Not really a 'secret' box, it is a gaming box...draughts or chess board on the outside Backgammon on the inside. The inside would hold the gaming pieces but they obviously got lost over the years so the Lieutenant reused the box to store items that meant something to him. The gun is a replica.
I believe that red car was a Messerschmitt highly collectible and really cool
wow,really?
That is a Messerschmitt.
It breaks my heart to see such a beautiful house fall into such ruin. Why????
Please tell me you CAREFULLY returned the attic things to their boxes and left them protected like you found them!!!
Doubt it with so many things lying helter skelter all over the place. I agree, a proper Explorer would place items back as they were found, but it seems the place was ransacked for valuables and items discarded here and there. Reminds me of the home of Ebenezer Scrooge when his curtains were stolen from his bed to be sold at the black market.
I hope he returned things as neatly as they were also or he just left a big ransacked mess as well.
Not a good idea to have your sidekick smoking inside this old abandoned house with all of paper, books etc laying around!
Y eso va a pasar con todos mis pequeños tesoros, los libros que mas leo, mis tejidos, las fotos.... :( . Me gustó muchísimo este pequeño documental de la vida.... muy triste y desesperante, porque le espera la destrucción. Saludos desde Argentina!!

My mind would explode in seeing all those objects. I just couldn't go inside I would end up breaking the law..
It’s such a shame to see a house this beautiful just left to fall apart like that. The family history inside this place really goes back, to also have military medals in the attic that no one cares about is very sad. I hope that someone one day can buy this place and sell the antiques before they get too badly damaged. Thanks for watching
Once the mould covers the books they are useless. It's better to collect these books while they aren't completely damaged and donate them to a local library. 📚📘📖 #booklover
Looks like an old ball and cap pistol, if it’s heavy like you say it could be from early to mid 1800s, could be very valuable in deed
His stuff belongs in a collection or even a museum. Or maybe track down some relatives.
I get mad when people gets in abandoned houses and do not left the things as they descovered in the same place and position, it is all about respect, to bad for you.
Minerva Ibarra is there such a thing as an abandoned house? Someone owns it... just because they are not living there does not mean they want people entering it. I have two houses that I do not live and both are in rural woods setting. both are full of my personal property like furniture, taxidermy, etc. It’s my property and I do not want people rummaging through it. I appreciate your thoughts on respect and not disturbing anything but true respect would be not entering the property in the first place.
@@AAA-nq6bo the difference is it's obvious these places that Stare explore's are abandoned no one wants them no one cares about them no one takes ownership for them or even bothers to secure them.
Stare is extremely respectful of these places and the things inside I've watched other explorer's videos and I've seen some be really disrespectful.
Maria Bushen my question to you is... how do you know that it’s abandoned? I can only visit one of my properties once a year and I actually skipped a year before. Because I stop once a year does not mean I have abandoned the property. I bought it, I paid for the everything inside, I own it, I pay taxes on it, I pay the utility bills.. if people break in and trash your house while your gone does that give me permission to go inside your house with a camera and make a UA-cam video showing how it was trashed and your put all your personal items out on UA-cam? I am not a wealthy man and that’s one of the reasons I can’t always get to the farthest remote property but someday i hope to retire and spend the winter months there as its warmer. My point is... there is no such thing as abandoned property! Someone owns every piece of property in the country. by law you do not have the right to go into other people’s property without permission.
It’s really sad! Collect beautiful items, cherish them, this is what happens to them when the family or no family has left all behind.
Hi Kelly, yes your right its not nice to see all those family items all over the place like that, wish people would respect the places they visit more. Thanks for watching
It is only important to whom it belonged.
