Hi clarky
What a bloody shame that place is left to rot away.. really pisses me off how nobody bothers I'd love that place 👍crackin vid pal
Nice one Goo m8 and yep its a joke man!
Thats just wrong. I never can understand why historic buildings like this are just left to rot. What a pity.
Basically I live next to it the sheds have been knocked down but they are renovating/ building up the rest of the residence so I’m very happy!!!
YES FINALLY, IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW WHATS INSIDE
Heartbreaking that this place has been left in such a state. I can’t get my head round it. The bloke who owned it was clearly very talented and educated. You did a great job Jay in being very respectful to the house and it’s previous owner. I’m sure the bloke would have been happy you was documenting what once was his beautiful home! Top vid bro! Loved it👍🏼
Yeah your not wrong about him m8 much-appreciated man and who knows maybe he's still around eh?
The Urban Collective I hope so mate
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt How is it respectful to show such disarray with personal items strewn all over the place, posters from old art exhibitions seemingly dumped in piles and even showing a close-up of an old passport??? Maybe he's still around? Why would he leave all his things behind? Is he dead or does he simply not want to be found? This video is very morbid and upsetting because he's my big brother and I don't know where the hell he is...

We are extremely sorry to hear that Martine we had no intention whatsoever of ever upsetting anybody and do have the utmost respect for the places we visit and history we gather. As Im sure you'll find there are multiple videos of this place around the web and most are done in a very mediocre and extremely disrespectful manner compared to this one. We blurred out the passport in the video and did not film documents etc relating to the occupant as a lot of the other explorers did. Anyway, the last thing I want is to have offended you in any way shape or form we were truly intrigued and in awe by this place and by the previous occupant and the video was made to represent this.
Hough Hall is an extremely valuable part of Mostons heritage and the story left by the previous occupant was extremely compelling. As for the whereabouts of your brother, we really do hope he's ok and if we hear anything about his whereabouts from the feedback we get on this video you will be the first person to know. There is actually a comment below stating that he may be in Japan and we know a few people who are actively trying to find him in the hopes of getting the old place restored.
Please understand we did not have any intention of offence by making this or any other of our videos they are purely for historical purposes only.
Take care!
Clarky
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt You haven't offended me as such, it's just devastating to see my brother's belongings like that in a UA-cam video. He's a very talented artist who, when he was young, had a fantastic future ahead of him, so it makes me so very, very sad. Box was an artistic installation that travelled around the UK, including the Tate Gallery, and I ran some of his shows for him at the time. He became involved with a tutor at uni (she should have know better not to date one of her students) and he foolishly married her, plunging him into the marriage from hell because after having a child together she left him and never allowed him to see his daughter again - and I don't think he ever recovered as no parent gets over the loss of a child... I shouldn't be talking about his personal issues, however, I believe, from one of our cousins, that his long-standing partner Heather, who bought the Hall with him, died a few years ago. I would be very grateful if you would let me know if you find out where he is - Thank you.
My friend ran his business from there a Dave Clough, now lives in Middleton. He’s on FB and may if contacted add a background to this building . This was around 1980s
My wife's from Moston and this buildings amazing to see it's very sad the council haven't made it a heritage site . Great vid mate 👍❤🇬🇧
Thanks for watching man glad you enjoyed it!
They have!!!
Brilliant and mysterious as always beautifully and tastefully done !
Cheers Mark I'm trying make my films a bit more commercial now and trying to phase out the swearing to a certain extent where possible.
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt your videos have character as much as the place your filming and a uniqueness and honest humour, try to keep a fine balance to not take anything away from that!
I used to live near that place and never took much notice, thanks for taking me inside.
No worries m8 it was a pleasure!
What a lovely house. Them paintings were brilliant x
Yeah i really enjoyed this one m8 its really sad that its ended up like this to be honest!
Just found this video from sometime ago as I can see. Well done and beautifully edited as usual Jayson. I wonder How all started such a long time ago when it was built ,surely surrounded by happiness and the opulence of the time to build such a place .And what a sad ,sad ending to it all .Whoever they were the last occupants left a very sad statement of the raw reality of live .
I totally agree... :(
If you seen the state of this gaff today you would cry. Its nothing like this state now, it's half gone.. LITERALLY rotted away. 😪😪
Went here today - the front is almost completely gone and being held up by scaffolding and a lot of walls are starting to bow as well. Such a shame.
Love the paneling and fireplace. So sad that it's been left to ruin still beautiful though. Wow that staircase 😍 makes it all the better that an artist lived there would have been my dream house.
Yeah it is quite special this place!
It's great but sad to see this, but thanks! My ancestors lived at Hough Hall. James Simpson Ward was the head of the household in the 1881 census; he lived there with his wife Ann and their 6 children. James had a brother, John Ward who was an alderman of Manchester. John published 2 books in 1910 Moston Characters at Work and Moston Characters at Play. It must have been a wonderful family home back in the day.
Quality I wonder if they are still available? Thanks for commenting m8 I'm glad you found the video.
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt I tried my local bookshop near Cambridge and they recommended I try a specialist online service whose name I forget right now. I found the first in a shop in Blackpool quite quickly but it took another 3 years before a notification came into my email box that the second had been found in Halifax. So I have managed to get both of them. This is going back about 10 years now.
It would be amazing if something could be done to bring it back before its completely disintegrated.
This place is amazing. The stair case, the roof and the fireplaces. What about all that wood paneling omg amazing
I know right proper little gem.
I’ve wanted to look in this building for thirty years. Thank you so much it’s even better than I expected.
Pleasure m8!
It was built in 1502 for a merchant called Hugh Sherlock and then later bought by William Radcliffe who owned ordsall hall and passed through branches of his family for generations and then owned by a captain Samuel something or other and then it was used as allsorts since then like butchers, lipstick makers and then bought by the current owners and abandoned in 2016.
Such a pity that a home of that age as been let go to rack and ruin. Cheers young Clarky pal. Another outstanding video .
Thanks Ste glad you enjoyed it m8 and yes it is a great shame as I believe it’s partly demolished now…
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt We must meet up for a noggin my friend.
Wow.... When I was younger I remember an artist who used to go around the shops and ask if he could paint a picture of the shop for them and he was dressed very old school and gave that look like he would have lived in a place like this,
Amazing work mate 👍
You never know m8?
Thanks Etchi
As a leeds lad now living in the states I can tell you there is just nothing like this over here. It would be a huge undertaking to restore this property but it would be worth it. Great commentary also shows your enthusiasm for our history.
Thank you John I’m glad you think that m8 to care pal.
Bloody hell! This is epic mate! You stumble across a building dating back to AT LEAST 1591 (when Elizabeth Ist was on the throne), that I never even heard of even though I only live 20 minutes away and mst have driven past hundreds of times, that has been largely undisturbed over the centuries, complete with original Jacobean panelling and beams intact. Some of those beams may be from trees that were around at the time of the battle of Hastings in 1066! - not only that, a mystery time capsule of the life of an artist that just walked out one day, leaving possessions, photographs and unfinished paintings. When you read about the said person (don't want to be a spoiler), the whole thing is shrouded in mystery and intrigue. One of the best urban explorations I've ever seen on YT. Must have been like winning the lottery when you found this! PS - I wonder if there was still a film in that little camera?
Yeah unbelievable this place m8 and theres no question about the build and qulaity its all ancient materials and to be still stood up after all these years just goes to show they certainly dont make them like they used to.
When you walk into a place like this I suppose its the closest thing to time travel so in a certain respect we are time travellers and as for the film even if there was film in it we wouldnt be able to take it to check whats on it due to our moral code, but, my lord I would love to know. Honest Alan Ive seen so many things doing this that most people wouldnt believe me when i told them.
Im made up ykur enjoying my videos m8 it means a lot to me amd I ha e some absolute crackers planned for the future too. Take care m8.
Just saw your video and realised that I've been there keep up the good work
There’s beauty in everything
Nice work lads. What a crying shame, I hope someone can save it. It is absolutely beautiful. :(
Thankyou Charlie x
Wow what a place awesome explore mate need to see this 👌🏻
Cheers pal!
Very amazing video well done and I love listening to your videos as I am blind and I am a white cane long cane user
Oh my Lord! "Harvester of knowledge" I like that.....what a house, what a waste! Great stuff again Clarky.
Thank you Miss Im glad my videos havent become mundane during your marathon. It inspires me to make more. Im actully in the process of recording a new series of films soon so hopefully youll join us for those too.
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt of course, I'm loving every minute. It's like going thro a door marked "Unknown" as you never know what's on the other side!
@@misscoutts6193 good choice of music at the end, haunting....
It’s getting built back up!!!
Very cool, and sad at the state of the decay that's been allowed to happen. I grew up around that area and went to school in the building next door so am very familiar with that place.
Great vids man keep it up was just wondering if you will return to the Victoria street
Highly likely m8 as I've not even started with Manchester yet and thanks for the feedback brother!
Brilliant find..really like the way your first interest is in the urban decay and not to deliberately go through the person's belongings, respect for that. Loved the interior, god bless Roger as I clicked on one of the links in your comments and it says he has since passed away but was reunited with his sister hope that was the case...
He was reunited with his sister yes I did speak to her a few times as she was gutted people had been getting in I wasnt the first to do this old place there were a few before me and to be honest they didnt really have any respect for the place ya know which is a great shame. Il be honest Joe I dont really like doing houses like this that look lived in to certain extent it just feels wrong ya know so I try to stear clear of them these days m8. You'll see something simmilar with a place I did called the old Vicarage or walters house maybe? On my chanel.
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt yes I did see them think I am up to date with your work now, can't wait for more of the work you do, not just saying it either really enjoy it..
Nothing like a bit of builders bottom lol ace video as always! Love the history, thank you and keep them coming!
So sad to see a 16th century building in such decay, history that shouldn’t be lost 😔 heartbreaking to see an old building left to degrade like this, I’m amazed english heritage haven’t stepped in to save it knowing the age of it
Well it's actually sterted to be demolished as we speak but people are fighting to save it!
Good video that but also very sad, if walls could talk.👍
I've always wanted to see inside of there 😍
Glad we could be of service m8 ;)
My school is there
You're a good egg, Clarky inspite of your dodgy caps!😉
Lol cheers m8 I think lol
Do the National Trust or the local council know about this building? It needs to be saved and investigated.
There's a place in Bolton called Haulgh Hall, pronounced "hough" too, it looks very similar and is said to be the oldest home in Bolton. I used to know the person who owned it back in the 90's, it's an amazing place inside, like stepping back in time, they had renovated it in the 90's to strict guidlines by whom ever is in contol of listed buildings. I don't know who owns it now, but it's looking bit run down these days. Which is a shame. But it's very old and luckily still standing !
Im sure Ive been to the old palce m8 is it behind queensparkish?
No I was wrong I was thinking about something else Ive just seenthe old and it does indeed look verysimmilar!
Thanks mate. I was trying to think of my Aunts husbands name. Yep, Hough. I will definitely be watching this video closely.
Cheers Red it's a stunning place this is pal.
That needs a 60 likes on that ;)
Haha nice one r kid!
so sad xx
1970 was a coal merchant Gobbi and Clough was a kid when mam paid the coal bills.Then in 2005 a man a woman bought it to do up she worked at Manchester University as a lecturer could have been art but she got unwell but that's the last thing know for sure. I think they took on too much trying to modernise it
Highly likely m8 thanks for the history!
That's next to my school lol
Great video greetings ☺
Cheers m8 much appreciated!
Since your video came out showing the juicy irreplaceable interior features, someone went into the building and removed most of the staircase as well as other things.
The house went up for sale last month for 150,000.
it's a shame the interior is now vandalized so bad.
There are numerous videos out on this old place most of them released before mine and in a terrible dissrespectfull manner. I take no responsibility whatsoever for the actions of other people...
Amazin told me mates. Omg them kids lol brother slo mo
That's well old could be Tudor.
Them places reek of life and people.
They certainly do m8 I'm well made up your enjoying the vids m8 thanks!
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt
Proper lol
Late to this, it's like a saw cut through the centuries - the building itself then through to more recent occupation [pc&tower] etc... How is it its not preserved, properly, makes no sense.
Sorry, spoke before properly watching, ok: there's been some recent life in there, Wainscotting still in unmouldy place, so how's it abandoned and mainly boarded? Ghosts? You're in the place !
Stairs remind of Sudbury but - a cherub compared withat.
Lol one of my teachers that knew everything about harperhey said hough hall was captain hooks house
Lol
They know it all eh lol!
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt wait but is it true?!
He's just vanished
He was actually found a while back m8!
Surely I can’t be the only person to be alarmed by what appears to be 2 girl’s pony tails cut off and intact on the desk (9.39). What’s even creepier is that they are near a photo of a young girl. It’s very disturbing.
They were clip ons then m8 lol like what rodney wore in only fools lol. I can deffinately see why youd be concerned though!
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt Oh Thank goodness for that! Just my eyesight. Should’ve gone to Specsavers! 👀
Just saw your video and realised that I've been there keep up the good work
Cheers m8!
