I loved this video.. my favorite since the oldest church bell...your videos are my way to unwind at the end of the day. Mr. Holdsworth is always a very pleasant addition.... I love all the info he always brings.
I worked in Kent a few years ago, and grew to like the Kent countryside. Now I watch your videos of the South and realise there is a lot more lovely places in the South that are so nice !
Love the speeded up bit and music, it’s like being on a , don’t know what you call it. Spotted some interesting railings that will be on the next video can’t wait. Well done Richard and Matthew.
Wow that was very intresting, them gardens are loverly, and the fact there are tunnels they is amazing. Such an unassuming place has so much history! Head qauters of the southern railway; that is something I need two find out more on, and that's a place I need two go for that reason! I did enjoy that well done you two 👍.
I’m so glad I found your programs as theve shown me just how much of the country around me I’ve missed. I was dumbfounded about the first war tank you found and that’s on my must visit soon as I’m sure the council will deem it a health and safety hazard as soon as they find it and will of course remove it. How do you find new places of interest to visit is it a pin and map or is it more sophisticated. Horsmonden is a nice area with old farms and buildings, my uncle farmed next to the church and I remember vast areas of hops which have now sadly vanished, the smell was heaven but now it’s a fishery which isn’t such a heavenly scent. I’m just back home for a couple of days and then back to the boat. You do a wonderful program and I’m so pleased you get noticed when out and about as that’s got to be a boost. 🛸
Thanks so much for your wonderful comments. Sometimes it is a bit like a pin in the map to find places, but more often than not people approach me. Which is great. Take care and enjoy the countryside. :)
Another great video (regardless of the trolls who seem to enjoy giving your videos a thumbs down). It was wonderful to see all of the people who recognized you! Nicely done, Richard What's-His-Name! :D
Great stuff. Wonderful history. Amazing explore. Write a book. I’ll buy it. Here in Plainfield IN we don’t have these kinds of places. Why was the house razed? I enjoyed the historic photos. Thank you, Mr Vobes and friends. And Nathan and all the volunteers.
Unexpected discoveries always add so much more to a walk. And I don't just mean meeting people who recognise you! That was exciting. Looking forward to the next instalment.
I wish Deepdene "Country Home" (sorry that still cracks me up) was still standing? Looked like incredible grounds. Any idea who the original family owners were? I loved Cody the Lion. I suppose he was supposed to majestic or ferocious - I just found him cute! I was getting a kick for you out of everytime you ran into someone, "I know you!" You're a celebrity around there Richard! Those Rhodies look about like ours here in OR too.☹ They're pretty, but sadly don't last too long. I hope you visit Norbury (sp?) Mannor while you are in the area. It looked incredible!
@@RichardVobes Morning. Ok. I told Marq English too on You Tube it came out a bit funny. It's on my Inbox. You Tube. And I told a man called John Rogers who is on You Tube

Thanks so much Jeff - thrilled you like this. Matthew will be pleased! :)
One of my favourite videos I have done with you! Can’t believe the change there...
I could see how excited you were! :)

I must do more in Kent - the South East has so much to explore.
marvellous video as always with Matthew
Thanks Shaun - we are enjoying uncovering all aspects of the Greensand Way, including this on the Deepdene Trail.

Thanks Ann, we do our best to amuse and entertain. :)

Yes THOSE gardens are lovely and yes, you need to go there to see the HQ of southern trains. :)
look at how popular you are, Richard!!!
thank you, Matthew and Richard, for another wonderful walk!
It is funny when one is spotted!

Thanks so much John - I am not sure what a thumbs down really means - it would be interesting if people explained what it was they didn't like.
The lion's name is actually Coady, because the original statue was moulded in Coade Stone, Mrs Eleanor Coade's ingenious ceramic stone substitute.
Ah yes - thanks for the correction.

There are so many places to explore in the UK - history seeps out of the ground.
Intresting walk looks beautiful
Thanks Tom - we have more to do there I believe!
Unexpected discoveries always add so much more to a walk. And I don't just mean meeting people who recognise you! That was exciting. Looking forward to the next instalment.
Thanks Nigel - it is quite distracting when someone says I know you and you don't know them! :)
It was really interesting. Thank you!
Fabulous - thanks for watching!

A fascinating place and great to see it opened up to the public by the hard working volunteers.
Great video as per usual Richard and it must be rewarding to be recognised while being out and about but dont let the fame go to your head ;)
I will try not to - but yes, great to know people have seen the videos.
Cant find the updates for Behind the Scenes.
Ah yes - I haven't be making any for a while - had a back log of main videos to get out.
Did you get my message re The Museum of London exhibition Hidden Waterways .
I didn't get that message - must look that up - thank you.

He does walks like yourself and Marq English. I told him about yourselves
He's more East End.
