So sad they destroy landmarks of old Hollywood. Leave them alone!! We want to preserve the homes and architecture of past celebrities and their hangouts. Thank you Scott for taking me along. 😊
I agree that everything should be presevered i. love old hollywood and old movie star homes and so all should be perserved if i could i would rebuild them as they were
So true- it is a disgrace. Developers and certain types of people with extra money think they have the right to do whatever they want. They knocked down Betty whites house and destroyed Cielo drive. Knocked down the house of blues on sunset blvd! They could’ve put a memorial park on Cielo dedicated to the victims but yet some ahole producer destroyed the land with some oversized tacky eyesore.
It's disgusting and it's happening everywhere. A beautiful home on a bluff overlooking a bay was just torn down near me. It dated to the 20s, needed some work but it was more than structurally sound enough to refurbish. All those gulf hurricanes it survived just to be bulldozed by some asshat that just moved to the area so he can build some gawd mansion.
LA has a seriously nasty history tearing down old homes and buildings of historical relevance. A great example was the guy who torched the Pan Pacific Auditorium. Allegedly he did it because he wanted to sell the land for condos to be developed there. You all would recognize the building as it was the nightclub in the movie Xanadu. It was also briefly featured in the Barbra Streisand film, Funny Lady. The building was a true example of art deco. The sloping spindles were magnificent and the whole roundness of the building was built of solid quality and class. The fire happened in the late 80s and its shell stood there for years before the city finally had it torn down. Now it’s a park that’s called Pan Pacific park, which has the building spindles as it logo for signage. A far cry from the majestic beauty of the original building that used to be there. Sad.
No one appreciates history any longer it seems .But it’s great to see someone still does . Thank you Scott for walking in history . You’re helping to keep stars from another era still in our memories ❤❤❤
I fully believe Beverly Hills city would’ve torn down Graystone Manor if it didn’t have a reservoir on the property. Than mansion is another gorgeous reminder of a bygone era in Los Angeles. Like the Mansfield Garbor tunnel there’s supposed to be one from Graystone that goes all the way to Santa Monica Blvd from the old Prohibition days. I’ve never seen it but the park rangers talk about it when you tour the mansion.
Tearing down old buildings,homes, landmarks seems to be going on everywhere. Our city started back in the 70’s and they called it urban development. So many sturdy structures destroyed. Some of them needed work. Finally years later they stopped tearing them down but so much of the damage was done. Some of the buildings get reprieved because historians say the buildings are historical and it gives people time to get funds to hopefully refurbish the property. They definitely don’t make buildings like the old ones. I would feel so much safer in a house that’s been around for a long time compared to the ones built recently. Just like cars the old cars were made out of metal not fiberglass like new ones. Thanks Scott another interesting experience that a lot of people like myself would never get to see because lack of funds in this chaotic government today. Great knowledge like always.
@@cindysmith2858 yup my city of Calgary , Alberta is undergoing heavy rezoning and densification . What is a single family detached home , will be ripped down to build an 8 or 6 plex on it 😡😡😡😡😡
@@ridingtheroad185 who says she doesn't? Who knows if the property was even offered to her by Humperdinck? Growing up in that crazy life she may want NOTHING to do with that part of her life! When the house was last sold her daughter was a HUGE celebrity in her own right and money def wasn't an issue for she's worth 100 million today, I would guess she was worth at least 10 million 20 years ago? You have to remove the celebrity provenance from the gates, that's what makes them desirable not the "craftmanship" or materials used! To Mariska she was just mom and those gates are just that...gates! Would you want the old discarded gate to your moms house where you grew up as a child where you lived a tumultuous childhood? What would you do with it? Why would you want it? I'm sure Mariska has better keepsakes and heirlooms than a rusty old gate!
@ridingtheroad185 not long after Jaynes death thieves actually broke into the pink palace and ransacked it. Jewellery, clothes, everything. The only way Mariska got any of it was after buying it back from them. Imagine what people would charge for her to have them. It makes me sick that people steal from the death but also force the deceased family members to BUY IT BACK FROM THEM.
Englebert Humperdinck said that when He lived in the Pink Palace Jayne Mansfield’s Ghost was always around but He welcomed her spirit and wasn’t frightened.He had met her shortly before her death.How sad to see this beautiful historic house torn down.
Her husband claimed that he heard violin music once (after she had passed), and when he walked out to the gallery, he saw her below playing the violin, as clear as day.
I don't understand why they wanted to pull it down! Could their daughter have done anything? I here they want to pull down Marilyn's house in Brentwood 😢
I can’t imagine buying a house that belonged to early Hollywood days and tear it down. Such a shame. I can see where it would need some updates but to destroy a well built old home is unforgivable.
I know- I left a house that had been built in 1875,still standing,because of the rich history there. Large ,oversized doors,candelabra chandeliers which used actual candles,and stain glass transoms.
They’re tearing Marilyn Monroe’s final home down, and they’ve replaced Sharon Tate’s beautiful French rustic home with a grotesque monstrosity. It’s a sin.
Easy for everyone to lament and criticize this being torn down. Try to understand that someone has to pay to own and maintain what is probably a maintenance nightmare and money pit. Try to understand….unless you want to pay for it.
@@chowmarina008 how do you know she sold it? she wasnt even 4 years old when her mother died, its likely she had no control over or imput what happened to her mothers estate.
I've been exploring off the beaten path through Hollywood and L.A. since my teen in the late 1970s, and I never tire discovering these "pop ruins". I still remember going through the Houdini mansion ruins, up the twisted exterior western stone steps leading to it, finding all kinds of long-forgotten relics strewn about. I even found and took a 19th century Hungarian novel still there under a pile of debris. Scott, you're among our modern-day "Pop Indiana Jones"! 👍 Following you for decades - keep it up. I'm diving in again this weekend 😆 ✌
I believe Frank Zappa lived across the street from the Houdini House in the 60s in Tom Mix's house. Supposedly, because Houdini and Tom Mix were friends, there was a secret tunnel between their houses and they would use the tunnel to visit each other.
Worth the risk, they're so historic and beautiful. Not condoning such antics, but I'd plan a wee morning quick getaway, having prepped the gates during daylight hours under cover... if I were going to do it. Cameras probably everywhere along the street, tho.
@@thunderhermits LOL I was thinking everything you just stated down to the "prep" earlier in the day so all you have to do is cut the chain with bolt cutters and grab each side that was "prepped" earlier and throw into the awaiting box truck...less than a minute total time! If I lived anywhere near several hours drive I would boost them TONIGHT!!!! The best part NO ONE would be looking for them or filing a complaint other than maybe trespassing and damage to a link on their chain! LOL
A tile setter who set tile in my relatives homes in the Detroit area tiled her pool and her bathroom. He said he left one piece of marble loose on the floor and that's where she would hide jewelry. It was set to where she used a plunger to pick up that particular piece of tile in her bathroom.
My brother's band (Snotty Scotty and the Hankies) played at the Pink Palace. They set up outside by the pools. A wonderful time was had by one and all. Great video.
Shame Americans dont seem to appreciate their own history, not talking about you guys. The States doesn't have old European buildings, but they have golden age Hollywood, which has significance to not only Americans but to us round the world , that grew up watching the Hollywood greats, with the stars then still having some class and style.

In some small towns in Missouri, some strikingly beautiful buildings are in the town square. I travelled around as a field interviewer and I was surprised to see those buildings in little towns. Apparently around 1902 and so, Carnegie was building libraries. I have seen beautiful columns, and beautiful marble and granite work. Some courthouses are quite elegant and striking as well, all built in times past.
A large part of Hollywood and Beverly Hills is first and second generation immigrants -- they have no idea who Jayne Mansfield is. My immigrant wife actually does, but only because we often pass the place where she died -- outside of New Orleans on Highway 90.

Thanks Scott. It's lovely to see the gates still there. It's really sad they felt the need to destroy the pink palace unecessarily. Let's hope they leave these gates in place. I don't understand Hollywood destroying their own history. Pia Zadora destroyed Pickfair and now they're after Marilyn's hacienda home. It's so tragic.
Thank you Mr Michaels for your intriguing and facts that you give us all the time if I ever get out to California I would love to meet you and just talk to you about some of the fascinating things that you go over for us thanks again
That road noise would make living there impossible for me. I’ve driven up and down Sunset many times - beautiful homes that could work if one were deaf…
Same although I bet most of the homes have double paned sound proof glass and plenty of insulation in walls. Otherwise yeah it would be a constant headache!
Scott, this is a historic find. Way to go. Your level of dedication to finding these artifacts is second to none. I live in Missouri and have been following you for years and have learned so much information from you that would have taken me a lifetime to gather. The places and things I have seen through your videos are indescribable. Keep up the great work my friend.
Seems like it was destroyed all for nothing. It's so sad. Thank you for sharing your trip back & surprising us with the beautiful gate! I'm still in shock it's still there. Wonder why they left it? 🤔
Great sleuthing Scott! I love your videos as much as having taken the Graveline tour years ago. The "then & now" photo overlays are awesome, and the work to produce them is appreciated!!!
The Pink Palace has long served as Home decor inspiration to me. The images of that Home and its abundance of Pink are permanently embedded within the confines of my mind. I am now a Homeowner as a young woman, living alone. I am decorating in much the same HYPER-FEMININE manner as Jayne Mansfield preferred. Why not? I possess the autonomy to do so!🖤
So sad to see an iconic house torn down and nothing but piles of dirt years later. Such a waste. Since I left LA in the mid 70's, it's turned into a cease pool of nothing. All the historic sites are gone. Nothing charming about it at all. I wouldn't wish to visit now. My memories are good enough from when I was a kid!. Thanks for the adventure, Scott. That was a hidden Gem! ❤
Its so awesome that there are people like you, Scott, that respects old history, and continues to look for it! I do the same thing all the time, and I think Im weird! Amazing finds, Scott!
Amazing that the gates are still there. It is sad that there are just piles of dirt there now. The Pink Palace was so gorgeous and truly a dream home. Funny, a lot of videos came up on my UA-cam feed about Jayne this afternoon, including one from the Grunge channel from a couple of years ago. The ' Death Car' in your Dearly Departed Museum was mentioned. 🤗 Coincidence? 😊 Thanks Scott. RIP Jayne 💝💫🌹
What a nice video! I would never see much of Hollywood, let alone new or old if it weren't for your nice videos (and those of others). It sure is sad to see the old landmarks disappear and all this new stuff hastily put up, it won't be around long. Thanks Scott, always enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the great work.
@thefonzkiss I did a Google Search for "drone policies in Hollywood" and it seems there is a bit of contradictory information, but I do see the fee you're referring to. I think that's for professional film making as opposed to hobbist drones which say it's only a $5 permit. In LA they mention you can't do it over private property, but if it was small enough & you just did it on boundary lines I'm sure you wouldn't get in trouble.
@@Valencenliberty Jayne was wonderful with Tom Ewell in. "The Girl Can't Help It "...Early Rock N Roll movie with Little Richard and the Platters etc. Eddie Cochran.
Thanks s it for bringing this old dil. Back to life, I love old places,it's just a shame they have demolished these beautiful old home's, it's nessesary to keep them up alive in the name of memories for old & young alike. Thanks Scott.
I am SO envious! I hope I can get to see them if I come out later this year. I understand Engelbert didn't know the new owners were going to tear it down when he sold it to them. It had isues, plumbing and so forth, but could've bee saved, at least part of it and the pool fixed back up.
This is crap Scott, I hate that they are tearing down Hollywood History to make lovely, meaningful parking lot's or apartments 🤢🤮 Fascinating video. I loved it.
Thankyou for all your stories, I especially enjoyed this one. Love hearing about Hollywood and listening to you and Todd discussing the details. Your research is brilliant. Wish you were still doing tours !
I love living here in L.A. passionately, and CA. in general. But it really upsets me how, with rare exception, we seem to have no sense of our own architectural history. Or the desire to preserve it. I appreciate what you do, Scott, as well as Alison Martino. We desperately need historians like you to keep the dream alive.
Scott, I got the feeling that you would love to have those gates. I am guessing this is considered abandoned property. Thank you so much for this stroll down memory lane. RIP Jayne and Mickey.
Your video brings out so many diverse emotions, especially for us older folks. Many of us can recall once momentous details concerning their lives that are meaningless today, but in their day they were significant events. How can it all be gone? We are nothing in the long or short scheme of things; not long after we are gone, so are our most important accomplishments and possessions. (Edit: It just struck me that those gates were in remarkably good condition for being so old! Maybe I'm just getting used to the junk they produce today so the well-built things of my youth seem less real.)
I would love to go through the tunnels. I wonder if they r still there?They were probably there since pro avision?If only they could talk.😮Probably so many secret tunnels all through Los Angeles. I know of many here in Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 😊❤
Weird that this popped up today. I'm not a film buff and barely knew who Miss Mansfield was, but knew my uncle was working for Rank Organisation and had shown her around the southern UK when she was over to promote a film . Only yesterday, going through my late mother's things, I found a packet of photos of his that she had saved and there are three of him with Jayne Mansfield among them. Uncle Roland would be 104 years old now and died in his late 80s. There was a signed, topless photo of her once, but I think my somewhat prudish mother must have burned it. He showed me it once when I was young and Mum was horrified.
Also....those trees are uprooting the gate and brick fence and pulling the brick apart at the seams. So destructive. The perimeter brick fence would have been nice for whatever gets built there eventually. Whoever planted those invasive trees there did a disservice to the property.
We appreciate all you go through to investigate and bring us back to the glory days of the US. Never again. Thats what makes your channel so appealing and valuable. Please keep up the great work!! ❤
People don't like nor appreciate history anymore, including art, which movies are. They're way too smug for history, and think the only time that matters is NOW! That is why you see a lot of comments on older movies where people complain that it's "dated," which is st*pid! Case in point: the possible destruction of Marilyn Monroe's last home. Why would anyone want to tear that down? Why, because it's "dated?" What next, Hearst Castle? Paramount Studios?
So sad they destroy landmarks of old Hollywood. Leave them alone!! We want to preserve the homes and architecture of past celebrities and their hangouts. Thank you Scott for taking me along. 😊

So true- it is a disgrace. Developers and certain types of people with extra money think they have the right to do whatever they want. They knocked down Betty whites house and destroyed Cielo drive. Knocked down the house of blues on sunset blvd! They could’ve put a memorial park on Cielo dedicated to the victims but yet some ahole producer destroyed the land with some oversized tacky eyesore.
It's disgusting and it's happening everywhere. A beautiful home on a bluff overlooking a bay was just torn down near me. It dated to the 20s, needed some work but it was more than structurally sound enough to refurbish. All those gulf hurricanes it survived just to be bulldozed by some asshat that just moved to the area so he can build some gawd mansion.

yes, start a fund for the upkeep - or tours inside - sadly property taxes would require lots of funds, much less expensive if nothing is on the lot.

That road noise would make living there impossible for me. I’ve driven up and down Sunset many times - beautiful homes that could work if one were deaf…
Same although I bet most of the homes have double paned sound proof glass and plenty of insulation in walls. Otherwise yeah it would be a constant headache!
And they rush by not knowing Hollywood history
Are the statues of the painters, tourist and joggers still there?
Completely agree. Would send me insane.
Pretty sure that's why they invented double and triple glazing!
Scott, this is a historic find. Way to go. Your level of dedication to finding these artifacts is second to none. I live in Missouri and have been following you for years and have learned so much information from you that would have taken me a lifetime to gather. The places and things I have seen through your videos are indescribable. Keep up the great work my friend.
Im in Missouri to
Fascinating and sad at the same time.
Thanks for sharing! I can see the joy in your face at the end when you said the gates still exist. I love your content. Amazing as usual!
Seems like it was destroyed all for nothing. It's so sad. Thank you for sharing your trip back & surprising us with the beautiful gate! I'm still in shock it's still there. Wonder why they left it? 🤔
Makes so sad to see old Hollywood homes/buildings be demolished. 😢 wiping away some cool history! Love your videos by the way!
Great sleuthing Scott! I love your videos as much as having taken the Graveline tour years ago.
The "then & now" photo overlays are awesome, and the work to produce them is appreciated!!!
So cool. Thanks Scott.
I look forward to your videos Scott.... So special ❤️ thank you for sharing.
So sad
She was beautiful
Mansfield bought the house in 1957 for 924K in today's dollars. For that money you can now buy a rundown tract house in Los Angeles.
Thank you for all the wonderful memories.😊
Still an empty lot after all these years. Such a sad state of tearing down an iconic house
The Pink Palace has long served as Home decor inspiration to me. The images of that Home and its abundance of Pink are permanently embedded within the confines of my mind. I am now a Homeowner as a young woman, living alone. I am decorating in much the same HYPER-FEMININE manner as Jayne Mansfield preferred. Why not? I possess the autonomy to do so!🖤
Thought at first you worded "anatomy" ... ; )
Excellent as always. I could listen to you all day. You are the treasure!
So sad to see an iconic house torn down and nothing but piles of dirt years later. Such a waste. Since I left LA in the mid 70's, it's turned into a cease pool of nothing. All the historic sites are gone. Nothing charming about it at all. I wouldn't wish to visit now. My memories are good enough from when I was a kid!.
Thanks for the adventure, Scott. That was a hidden Gem! ❤
I hope those gates don't get destroyed. Thanks scott
I am amazed no one has tried to salvage those gates. No museum or anything! Sad.....
Its so awesome that there are people like you, Scott, that respects old history, and continues to look for it! I do the same thing all the time, and I think Im weird! Amazing finds, Scott!
History is very much appreciated in Europe. Old buildings are well preserved. Here in the U.S not very much.😢
Ireland don’t care either
Some parts of US they are, but you are right. Most are not. Luckily in New Orleans people are not allowed to tear down old houses.
Ive always said this too this is tragic😢
That’s because our version of old is not that old, really
Thank you for the history education...So great to recreate this puzzle of artifacts that still remain. Really enjoyed your video!
so interesting. I wish you could petition to get that gate! They will just destroy it anyway.
Thank you, Scott!! Excellent, excellent video!! I'm hoping to vacation in Hollywood soon. There are so many locations I want to visit. This is added.
That's so cool seeing the sunset Blvd. Driveway !! Love that movie.
Scott, thank you for all you do to preserve and bring light to treasures like these. It makes me so sad to see these things going away.
Amazing that the gates are still there. It is sad that there are just piles of dirt there now. The Pink Palace was so gorgeous and truly a dream home. Funny, a lot of videos came up on my UA-cam feed about Jayne this afternoon, including one from the Grunge channel from a couple of years ago. The ' Death Car' in your Dearly Departed Museum was mentioned. 🤗 Coincidence? 😊 Thanks Scott. RIP Jayne 💝💫🌹
What a nice video! I would never see much of Hollywood, let alone new or old if it weren't for your nice videos (and those of others). It sure is sad to see the old landmarks disappear and all this new stuff hastily put up, it won't be around long. Thanks Scott, always enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the great work.
I still say you need to get a drone, Scott!
You can’t just film with a drone in Hollywood you need to pay a $1250 permit before it’s even approved and have two deputies there to oversee it.
@thefonzkiss I did a Google Search for "drone policies in Hollywood" and it seems there is a bit of contradictory information, but I do see the fee you're referring to. I think that's for professional film making as opposed to hobbist drones which say it's only a $5 permit. In LA they mention you can't do it over private property, but if it was small enough & you just did it on boundary lines I'm sure you wouldn't get in trouble.
wow.... great video.... thats awesome folks can get a piece....
Jayne Mansfield was a icon just a woman of class
Beautiful woman❤
@@Valencenliberty
Jayne was wonderful with
Tom Ewell in. "The Girl Can't Help It "...Early Rock N Roll movie
with Little Richard and the Platters etc. Eddie Cochran.
Thanks s it for bringing this old dil. Back to life, I love old places,it's just a shame they have demolished these beautiful old home's, it's nessesary to keep them up alive in the name of memories for old & young alike. Thanks Scott.
Stars back then had homes the lived in. Not opulent palaces. Really sad.
I had no idea either and never heard the rumor. Thanks Scott for posting!
Wow,so sad they tore it down to leave it mess 😢 what a great video Scott thk you ,
Scott this is an exceptional video. When you showed the gate with initials I got goosebumps
Thank you for showing us !!
Wow all those great sights from the past. Thanks alot.
I am SO envious! I hope I can get to see them if I come out later this year. I understand Engelbert didn't know the new owners were going to tear it down when he sold it to them. It had isues, plumbing and so forth, but could've bee saved, at least part of it and the pool fixed back up.
loved this one !!! thank you ! i am watching it again.
This is crap Scott, I hate that they are tearing down Hollywood History to make lovely, meaningful parking lot's or apartments 🤢🤮
Fascinating video. I loved it.
That’s sad & she must of loved all the details of the house. Thank you for showing us this nice history. California is so full of nice info.
Excellent work Scott! Great Hollywood history.
It’s so sad how no one has value in this anymore but thankfully, you do. Thanks for sharing such great videos.
By far the best story teller!!!
Thankyou for all your stories, I especially enjoyed this one. Love hearing about Hollywood and listening to you and Todd discussing the details. Your research is brilliant. Wish you were still doing tours !
Omg they need rescued!!
Always a pleasure to view a video made by you ❤️
Scott!!! Happy to see you!!! 😁
Really love what you do with the photos and research. So much fun to see how beautiful these properties were. Love these field trips!
Sad foreigners or dislocated young generation have no clue of history
I love living here in L.A. passionately, and CA. in general. But it really upsets me how, with rare exception, we seem to have no sense of our own architectural history. Or the desire to preserve it.
I appreciate what you do, Scott, as well as Alison Martino. We desperately need historians like you to keep the dream alive.
Thanks for taking us on yet another great adventure / story.
Scott,
I enjoy your videos very much! You always do a good job editing and are a wealth of interesting information. Keep up the good work.
Scott, I got the feeling that you would love to have those gates. I am guessing this is considered abandoned property. Thank you so much for this stroll down memory lane. RIP Jayne and Mickey.
Your video brings out so many diverse emotions, especially for us older folks. Many of us can recall once momentous details concerning their lives that are meaningless today, but in their day they were significant events. How can it all be gone? We are nothing in the long or short scheme of things; not long after we are gone, so are our most important accomplishments and possessions. (Edit: It just struck me that those gates were in remarkably good condition for being so old! Maybe I'm just getting used to the junk they produce today so the well-built things of my youth seem less real.)
Thanks! And I would like to buy a peice of the pool tiles, do you have any full square tiles left?
Yes we do thank you so much for the donation! There is a link in the description area of this video.
Dust in the wind
All we are are dust in the wind!
Sad!
True statement
Ty for this awesome ❤
I love all of your knowledge and how in depth your stories are! I'd love to attend one of your tours in person on day!
I'm surprised Jaynes family wouldn't snatch those gates up!
Her daughter Marissa Hargitay.
Terrific video Scott! Thanks for mentioning Gary Cooper's last house too! xoxoxo
Love all the old memorabilia u found.Thank u for sharing 😊❤
I would love to go through the tunnels. I wonder if they r still there?They were probably there since pro avision?If only they could talk.😮Probably so many secret tunnels all through Los Angeles. I know of many here in Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 😊❤
Too bad u couldn't get those gates.lol What a piece of great history 😊
Weird that this popped up today.
I'm not a film buff and barely knew who Miss Mansfield was, but knew my uncle was working for Rank Organisation and had shown her around the southern UK when she was over to promote a film . Only yesterday, going through my late mother's things, I found a packet of photos of his that she had saved and there are three of him with Jayne Mansfield among them. Uncle Roland would be 104 years old now and died in his late 80s. There was a signed, topless photo of her once, but I think my somewhat prudish mother must have burned it. He showed me it once when I was young and Mum was horrified.
What year for the pictures
Cool video. It's sad the goons had to tear down Jaynie's Palace for apparently no reason.
Also....those trees are uprooting the gate and brick fence and pulling the brick apart at the seams. So destructive. The perimeter brick fence would have been nice for whatever gets built there eventually. Whoever planted those invasive trees there did a disservice to the property.
I love Jayne Mansfield 🩷
We appreciate all you go through to investigate and bring us back to the glory days of the US. Never again. Thats what makes your channel so appealing and valuable. Please keep up the great work!! ❤
People don't like nor appreciate history anymore, including art, which movies are. They're way too smug for history, and think the only time that matters is NOW! That is why you see a lot of comments on older movies where people complain that it's "dated," which is st*pid! Case in point: the possible destruction of Marilyn Monroe's last home. Why would anyone want to tear that down? Why, because it's "dated?" What next, Hearst Castle? Paramount Studios?
I agree with your comment. I think a lowering of intelligence and poor public education contribute to the disdain for history.
The ignorance of the young.
It's the negative effects of globalization greed, it destroys heritage, culture and community wherever it goes.
Indeed 😢
Different in the UK. Everything seems to be still standing except at Sandbanks Dorset
