  • In this weeks video, we explored a house that we drove past that looked completely invisible from the road! How we spotted it, I’ll never know… entrance was easy as the property has slowly fallen into disrepair and half a wall had fallen down outside, there were still a fair amount of stuff inside which was very interesting to look through. Towards the end of our Explore, we started to hear some strange noises, so we decided to head out. When we got outside, we had the surprise of our life. 👮 👮🏽‍♀️ 😅 hope you enjoy this weeks video guys. 🙂

    Incredible. You get your house burgled and the Police don't even bother coming out. Someone goes into a house that has been empty for 35 years and about 6 Police cars show up.

    The bedstead was manufactured by Chorlton & Dugdale which was a furniture and bedstead manufacturer which existed from 1876-1891 and were based in Manchester and London. The Excelsior bedframe was manufactured for invalids (their terminology) with a patented spring design which won many awards. I bet you there's not many of these left on the planet!

    The short wave radio reciever/ transmitter is from the 1930's the contraption by the side is a high frequency Ariel, the pieces on the top of the radio are Fuses for artillery shells,the rocket shaped one is a rarity, honestly a great find.

  • @Jessica15747

    Some info on the mattress frame you found.
    The firm of Chorlton & Dugdale was listed in The Furniture Gazette Directory, 1876 & 1877, at 76 Higher Ormond Street, Manchester and 63 Watling Street, London. They advertised their Excelsior patent spring mattress in The Furniture Gazette, 22 January 1876, and continued to advertise in this publication until 1891.

    Hi Colin, the cannon plunger is a posser for using when you were doing the weekly washing. I’d help my Gran by filling the tub with hot water, washing powder or a dolly blue then put in the washing & swish the clothes round in the tub, worked really well.

  • @amremotewatching
    @amremotewatching Рік тому +3

    @The Bearded Explorer .. The device shown at 16m45s onwards is a LW/MW/Shortwave SuperHeterodyne receiver made around 1925-1930 by a UK company called Igranic Electric Ltd. It sported no less than 6 valves. The antenna is some sort of DIY Rhomboid Frame aerial. Given the very approx. dimensions shown, it was likely being used for picking up SW signals in the 3Mhz to 7Mhz bands. It looks like there is no external speaker present as that would normally be attached to the screw-studs on the rightmost side of the front panel. The receiver is ultra rare and probably worth a few bob to collectors on the vintage radio forum! Other than that ..

  • @Burnsie8282
    @Burnsie8282 Рік тому +51

    Good Evening Colin, the apparatus you weren’t sure about at around 16.52 mins is an old radio set and aerial for it. Your co-explorer is nearly right, the things on the top of the radio are the time fuses from old artillery shells, completely harmless but very cool, I’m sure someone will be able to enlighten you further. Great job as always, love the videos!

  • @sarahstrong7174

    I imagine that the toilet cistern that appears wooden actually is a cover that has an old metal tank in it, covered to prevent condensation from dripping from it & ensuring the tank did not freeze & split.

    I think that is an old radio with an antenna or cat whiskers. You would tweak the whiskers to make the station come in clearer. The metal plunger was used for laundry as an agitator.

    The "plunger" you saw was used in a dolly tub for washing clothes, you would light the boiler under the tub, put your washing in and then use the ponch to squash them down and turn them, rather like the old twin tub agitator, I used to use it in my granny's house in the 50s

    Great video, what a find. With all those armchairs in one room I would guess the Lady was a very sociable person and very knowledgeable. The set up of furniture in the lounge room was just like my Dads old place in London years ago. The thing that looked like a plunger was an old fashioned 'Washing Dolly' used inside the tub of boiling water or copper boiler to wash clothes or sheets etc, by plunging it up and down by hand it pushed the water through the material and made it so clean and white long before washing machines were used in the home. Also o vacume cleaner jyst a carpet sweeper, broom and mop. Thank you so much. 💕🇦🇺

    Golly Colin, them last few minutes in the house had me sitting on the edge of my seat, so suspenseful and a great video. I see ladies shoes downstairs that you picked up, but the with only a ladder to access the upper level makes me think no lady would climb up there, so maybe the male of the house was spying on the Russian spy organization intercepting their radio signals. Great content, you surpassed yourself with this video and the Police did an excellent job responding to a eagle eyed citizen, this is probably why this old house is still not vandalized.

    Wow 😳 Colin what an adrenaline fuelled video! Squad cars, monster spiders and scary as heck houses 🏚️ Your videos are truly the most creepy i have ever seen glad you weren't on your own. So good to see Tazer again. Thanks 👍

    The plunger looks like something that was used for washing clothes. The other item I think was a radio. Like a ham radio hence the antenna.
