The End Of The Bottle Dump Amazing History Found Just In Time!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- This week videos sees us a little in shock and very sad! Unfortunately our favourite dump has been destroyed. We watched as all the trees in the orchard were ripped up by a mechanical digger. It is going to be turned in to fields but I suspect it may be built on once they have permission. We shed a few tears but quickly realised we had to save as much as we could.
This film and next weeks is us trying to find as much history as we can before it is lost forever.

Thank you so much for all the lovely comments of support and commiseration. We are still devastated by the loss of all those beautiful trees. The land is being given over to animal feed crops. There is some light as we have been told by the owner that the profits from these fields will be donated to a local charity. There is one last dump film this Sunday but we are working on a very special Dump Doll extravaganza including crafting and a closer look at all the dolls and parts we have found at the dump. That film will hopefully be out next Thursday (I say hopefully because this is possibly the most involved craft we have ever done) Thank you again for your wonderful comments they mean so much xxxxxxxxx
Could you ask if it's still possible to go searching the land between crops when it's ploughed. It sound like they wouldn't mind that.
@@tonywild1963 exactly what I thought
Thank You Fleur & Kate♥️💐🐿️🙋
I think Kent will be in lockdown for a long time. Keep safe
@@tonywild1963 I do that on land near me and still find perfume bottles and stoppers, blue and white pottery and ink jars so not everything gets completely mashed up. You would have thought that apple cider was still popular and certainly apple cider vinegar is very on trend. Perhaps it's the lack of pickers that has driven this or the age of the trees even though they seemed to be producing still.
How utterly heartbreaking to watch. I'm on the other side of the world but it feels like my hearts been ripped out, I can't even imagine how you must feel xXx
So sad. Wish I were there. I could harvest some of those trees and turn them into bonsai trees. You'd be amazed how even big, fat trees can be made into large bonsai. I have two ponderosa pines that are over 130 years old that were saved from a forest fire by harvesting them and creating bonsai from them. They are beautiful and very happy. 💚
What a beautiful hobby! Thanks for your efforts saving our heritage❤️
They're expanding the roads where I live and in the process, they are pulling up hundreds of old oak trees. I cry when I see that too. 😥
your tears are my tears
Heartfelt condolences on the loss of your beloved bottle dump. Add to that the loss of the beautiful trees.... :( !
Hello ladies, I'm so sorry about your dump. So much lost. I think you can tell the with Crystal and glass by the sound they make when you tap on them. The big clay marble is a for a game. Tom Burleigh found one once. I truly enjoy all your videos. Take care and stay safe 🙏
I also feel for you. As a small child I used to visit an overgrown walled garden full of overgrown shrubs, butterflies, wild bees, beetles and flowers. It was torn up and the land covered with tarmac. As an adult, I still remember the sadness of its passing.
A person at their desk in a cosy office signs off this land in a second not ever knowing the consequences to the nature and avalon they have destroyed .
We are all with you ❤
Totally agree
I was not expecting to cry at this video but what a shame that old orchard was destroyed. I hope it doesn't get built on soon, so maybe you can still find some things...
Omg why such a beautiful place with all the treasures and wild life shame on those who have destroyed it am so very sorry am so sad hugs 😢 xxxxx
I too think the orchard dump was waiting for you to come find as many treasures as you could find. I know Kate will remember that spot fondly for the rest of her life. 💜 Thank you for sharing so many great treasure finds there with us.
Very sad hearing the chainsaws in the background. Great finds. ♥️♥️♥️
Ohhhh nooo I’m so sad for you all and the trees the birds all the treasures and history, I grieve along with you , and shedded a tear or two watching and in empathy, glad you got to save some beautiful treasures . My heart is with you
Oh no! I feel your pain so much. I was crying quite a lot during your video, so sad. I’m glad that you have managed to find such beautiful treasures. That place was so magical. ❤️🇦🇺xxx
Broken hearted for certain. Joyful with the things brought to the surface and saved.
Wow- can't wait to watch this. I had a similar experience this week. The local play park was being redone. Revealing an old bottle dump underneath. The builders kindly let me and the kids come in and pick up the bottles we could see. Now, it's all AstroTurfed over.
These were the first bottles me and the kids had found so it was super special. I even found some with embossing from the town we're in & so glad we saved them. No clay pipes yet but I'm hopeful we'll find one someday.
That’s devastating! You must have been heartbroken! I loved this location and always thought you were so lucky to have it. (Nothing like it in North Carolina.)
Oh, that's criminal!! Those beautiful trees. I hate to see such destruction. Brings tears to my eyes too!! What a world we live in ........
Aww, I'm so sorry..breaks my heart. Kate has the sweetest most compassionate heart.
So so sorry you're loosing your historical dump site. Thank you for preserving history with your finds and sharing it with all of us. Laurie Riley USA
I am so sorry about the loss of your trees and wildlife you’re not the only one who cries when they lose a tree we had a tornado that took 12 of ours some we had planted many years ago when we first moved in they were as little as pencils and they turned into beautiful mighty oaks but they were no match for the tornadoes I miss much trees and still mourn them much love from Alabama your friend Becky
Kate, Fleur, we feel for you with the loss of that haven for wildlife and the hidden treasures. Greed and thoughtlessness is rife this century, more so than the last. Hopefully mother nature will come back to bite the owners. Perhaps the little birds will set up in your lovely garden. Glad you were able to find so many treasures. Ian and Sue, Australia
Awww, Kate and Fleur I am so sorry. The destruction broke my heart too...and I only watch the finds! It is very much the loss of a dear friend. Your tears are well understood. Your video was a lovely tribute.
Sad to see the trees just pulled out of the ground with the birds homes . But the field surely gave you a abundance of lovely treasures . I wish humans would just let nature do its thing and be happy.
That just makes me so mad. They just cant leave anything alone. Ide camp out there and search for stuff with my torch . We aren't going to have any countryside left .
They can’t, I had a large forest near my house. They chopped half of it down to create an empty lot to sell (still hasn’t sold) then they destroyed another large portion to build a super Walmart. :(
I'm so very sorry about the bottle dump. And it hurt to see the trees cut down. I'm glad you are able to go for a little more time. Take care, and thank you for your video
That is terrible ripping out the lovely old orchard, it seems nowhere is safe from distruction now. I think that ladybird just said it all. You had some lovely finds. I like the dolls heads and bottles. I love the hand holding the cup. Thank you for sharing, I feel so sad for you and the wildlife. Its such a shame why this is happening everywhere. Take care.
So sad to see those trees cut down just like that and all the treasures go to waste!😥
Luckily you were able to save some nice things!
Give you a virtual hug!😚
I hope you can find another area that can bring you happiness once again.
Looking forward to the premiere ! Oh noooo the orchard was always my favourite place !!! Hope you managed to get lots of treasures saved x
I agree with Nicole and Craig. I loved the orchard. It was a magical place to find the coolest little treasures. Aww. I'm so sorry. Perhaps there is some yet-to-be-discovered location waiting for you to find it andaybe it will be just as wonderful. We will keep our fingers crossed for you.
Such a beautiful haven for wildlife ; ( , nothing surprises me anymore and for what ?
Apartments, Housing, and Factories!!! Yay!!!
I hope you can tell that is sarcasm...
@@Elmo-fp3no the punctuation gives it away : )
I’m so very sorry. I cried too. The bottle dump gave you so much joy that you passed on to us. I’m saddened for the tress, wildlife and I’m sure the stretch of woods was sad too. Thank you dump for all the excitement and joy you gave Fleur & Kate & Oscar. Your finds we’re bittersweet. ☹️
Totally agree
The stamp looks like a little angel sits.
So sad. But glad you were able to save as much as you could.
My heart 'is' breaking....................
SO SORRY FOR YALL. HOPE YOU FIND LOTS OF OLD ITEMS OTHER PLACES I WATCH YOU EVERY SHOW. YALL HAVE SO MUCH FUN. HAPPY FOR YOU. .
Absolutely heart-breaking to see that much needed and beautiful habitat destroyed. It was such an idyllic spot for you to go and find your treasures xx
With the frozen Charlotte you can maybe make a pictorial and have it all covered in resin
Humans and their progress. Forget about nature. Very sad.
All countries need to stop cutting down and start planting. If they want to build something it has to be eco friendly.
Oh sooo sad, the amazing bottle dump, the beautiful trees, the Robins and all other wildlife now all gone 😢😢😢😢 my heart breaks for you guys.
You have saved some wonderful items though ❤❤❤ them all. Thank you for sharing 😊
Totally agree
My heart is also broken, how can they do wuch things. The way man treats trees is so heartbreaking. So very sad today.
What a shame, but I suppose that is what history is, changing times and what's left over. Well done on your rescue mission, you certainly had some good finds. That must have been a beautiful orchard at some stage, I hope over the years you have had a few apples.
I'm not sure which is worse: the destruction of the dump, or the uprooting/destroying of the trees, which means more habitat loss for songbirds, insects, & small mammals. :'( But that's humans for you. Everything in the name of progress. :/ Loved all your finds, and I'm so glad you went out to look immediately after getting the message about the heavy equipment. It was hard hearing those chainsaws in the background. :o Looking forward to next week's video. All the best to your family.
I love the glasses , I think they would make nice bells !
So sad 😞 l glad you got a few things out them poor trees and wildlife I cried with you
Thank you for another wonderful video.
It’s very sad 😔 to see the end of this beautiful Apple orchard 😔 and all of the amazing things you could have found and all of the wild animals homes too 😔 I always thought of my mum when the beautiful Robin was there with you 💞 hopefully you will find a new Field xx 😷💞
seeing them destroy that orchard makes me cry
Hugs from across the pond. ❤️❤️😢
Tragic! I believe I'm nearly as devastated as you both are. What a loss! I'm so sorry. You will certainly have many memories though, you've found some wonderful things there, and this trip was no exception. I love your finds. Thanks again for sharing. :-)
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventures and talents. I have learnt so much from you all in many ways. My heart goes out to you and look forward to your new adventures and delights to give you joy. *Disinfected hugs* to warm your huge hearts a little XXXXX
So sad they tore down the orchard and dump, I wonder why? Though you have alot of awesome finds Love the seal and wow big eagle claw pipe! All of your finds are awesome congrats!
Loved seeing all the lovely things that you were able to save, enjoyed watching but was crying while watching so sad. All the trees and so much history destroyed so very sad!!
How sad to see the area demolished! Breaks your heart!💔
I am so grieved for your loss. This was such a delightful place to visit with you on your adventures. This reminds me too much of when my husbands father died, ten odd years ago, and my brother in-law inherited his orchard. Dad had an old fashioned orchard with tall wind-rows full of cottonwood tree's that the birds loved to nest in, and was a haven also for all manner of wildlife. He had a 85 acre's of all kinds of fruit tree varieties. Apple's, pears, peaches, and cherries, all of which we were free to pick and can for our own use. With no warning at all, we went one day to visit, and my brother in-law had hired removers to come and destroy all the old tree's, dig out the wind-rows, and chip them all into wood chips. In their place were planted rows on rows of commercial pears, closely strung on wood poles and wires. It was the most hideous thing I have ever seen, (next to this today.) His orchard is now much more commercially viable, but it has lost its soul completely. No more pleasant strolls at sunset down the wide avenue of tree's to watch the birds. Now it is just jam crammed tree's with not enough space to spread their ever growing roots. My heart was so broken by the sight of Dad's decimated orchard, I was glad he didn't live to see it. I seldom go there anymore, even tho I live nearby, for tho the years have passed, it remains never the same gentle loving old fashioned orchard that I roamed and loved so well.
So sorry to see the dump go we know how that feels such a shame
I'm so sad for you. For you, for the treasures, the trees, the birds. What a destruction and what a waste. Haste to save the precious waste.
The trees and wildlife are the real treasures. We don’t realize that until they have all gone.
So sad . The history that was lost
That is terribly terribly sad. I remember videos with all the birds singing while you searched for treasures. Why build a house on a dump. It has been done elsewhere to the detriment of the home owners later on. I am very sad with you. Hopefully the lockdown will end soon and you can travel a little farther. 😢Donna USA
Can't wait
Can you grab some of the wood? My sister in law had her father make beautiful wood bowls from the tree I knew of my childhood
Could that pipe be made of ivory it looks like it might be an elephant love your videos and your beautiful bits and bobbles from WV💕💕
You are truly genuine souls, the music in this video is beautiful where do you find it?
Don't get me crying now ladies ( or worse yet... angry ) ! Question : Is that privately or publicly owned land ? Why is there leveling out everything going on ? It looks like a pretty big area . So sad to think that just like that ... in the space of mere minutes... 40 + yr. Old trees are gone and all the wildlife that used those trees & bushes , flowera & grasses as shelter , cover or homes no longer have that to count on ! MAN truly is ... the MOST DESTRUCTIVE BEING ON THE PLANET ! With all of our supposed wisdom & knowledge ( and all the things we've created ) ... why is it we have no common sense to know how badly the things we do destroy everything from land to water to sky !!??
Could the 'f' be an old style s? If they do use it as a regular field it will be like the Northerns "Field of Dreams".
Not sure, but I think your small glasses are for cordials. What a shame about that old orchard, The apples were beautiful,and the birds and insects had a home there. So sad.
Omg I even cried
Oh my gosh, I’m sooooo sorry for you both - I can’t imagine how devestating this is for you both😭! This happened to my town dump before I even had the chance to dig it, so many rare local bottles were built on.... I cannot believe this has happened - maybe you should advertise it for people online to come and dig the holes so that you and everybody else can save as much as possible? I’m so sorry that this had to happen to you.. I hope either you find a new place, the plans for building fall through or they don’t build on part of the dump? I feel really sad that the lucky dump bird you found on one of your first adventures that showed you all the good finds will now be without a home 😭 😭 it’s so sad that everything else will be built over, when you put the eye that was too big in your doll it looked like it was crying 😭 very well done using the seal!! Maybe you should use it when signing off letters from now on? 😂 😁 poor old dump, may you rest in piece... maybe you should ask the people driving the diggers to save as much as is possible as put them somewhere you can easily find them? 😀 😭 😢
hi again the pipe half could be cast it has a branch for crafting
Very sad indeed. Desecration.
Totally agree
Awww it’s very sad, even that lady bird was suicidal... creepy music
You should see if you could save a seedling appletree . Many old apples aren't available anymore. Again so sorry.
🇨🇦 This makes me so outraged. I am sad for the loss of the dump but the silver lining is that more items are being brought to the surface from disturbing the soil. If this is going to be a field there will be new things revealed every year. What really makes me angry is the wholesale destruction of a well planted established apple orchard. I can tell this because the trees were obviously planted in rows. With a good arborist that orchard would have been producing masses of apples again. The loss of an established echo system for the birds and animals drives me crazy. If it isn't too late, you could protest this aspect to the local media or politician. It might save your dump.
Hi was looking at your wax seal and when you stamped it on a piece of fabric I saw the most beautiful womans face.it was so clear it might just be me
OH dear, all those lovely old apple trees. Trees are the world's lungs, they take in carbon and give up oxygen for us. Well I guess when the powers that be have paved the last piece of green earth maybe they will have learned or not. I always liked when you went to this particular bottle dump as you always found something to be excited over and you had such fun, a sometimes rare commodity.
Totally agree
I adore wonky bear
Only way I know of to tell crystal glass from regular glass is to tap it lightly with your fingernail or a butter knife/silverware, if it “pings” it’s crystal. Two different sounds with glass and crystal.
Look at the bright side it may become a plugged field imagine all the new finds that will be brought up....
i would get lots of bags and fill them up as much as i could.
wh.y could not their crops have been those amazing apples? It looked to be an incredibly bountiful apple producing orchard by looking at the mounds of fallen apples?? How sad
It is very sad!
Maybe that was one of the first golf balls
Swan head looks like a goose head....either way, its saved!
That old abandoned pear tree orchard .must have been sold on for land development .... what a shame.
😳Please forgive me for misspelling Caboodlers. I was a little emotional myself.
And then the bird was singing...😥
I sometimes HATE ( so called ) PROGRESS !!!!! Broken hearted, OLD NOTTS. LADY, USA 😢😢😢
Yes it's Peter.
Try it with waxs
Why was frozen Charlotte always naked
First I want you to know I'm sending you both some comforting hugs. As our Kate stood there looking at that broken tree, with her heart breaking, I too cried. Last week they removed a very healthy, lovely maple tree from next door to me, It was 70 to 100 years old and we have seen many generations of birds nesting in that tree. When I saw it, it stunned me so much, it took my breath away. I cried for days for that tree and a wee bird that sat in a neighboring tree crying. I've never heard a bird wailing before, but I can assure you that is what it was doing. A couple days later the city marked a maple on my property, to be cut or removed, (something to do with city water lines, though I'm thinking it has to do with the five gee whiz poles being erected), all in the name of progress? Please send up prayers with me, that I can trim it down enough that they won't remove it. I am so sad, I'm not gonna lie, though your wonderful rescues, along with your bucket listers were encouraging and lightened my Heart a bit.
Bless Your Beautiful Hearts, Fleur and Kate, From a kindred soul sister.
So sad... I keep thinking of all the wildlife that dwelled in those trees :( very sad...
Yes and now have to find new homes in ever decreasing woodlands.
😒😢 oh no...not the bottle dump!!! I'm so sorry 😔, my heart and stomach literally dropped when I heard your voice over.
All those apple trees (sustaining food for birds, bugs, bees and possibly mammals) and various other shrubs and plants that nurtured and sheltered Mother Nature's wild children.🤦🏼♀️(sigh) I'm just heartsick 💔. So few wild and safe places for nature's creatures anymore.
Thank you for giving your best to try and save as much history treasures as you can 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!!! I can hear the deep sadness and shock in both your voices😌🤗(giant virtual cuddle hug).
Can't wait to see the next installment... hope you get to see your "wee" mudlarking birdie one last time 🤞🏻. Love and hugs🙂🤗🤭😘
OMG! Heartbreaking! I am so sorry... history gone, trees gone, wildlife gone. There really are no words to describe this...
I totally agree with you.
Very sad indeed.
You took the words or of my mouth. Just heartbreaking.
Heartbreaking 💔
I always find it very sad when trees are destroyed. And this orchard held so much history! Such a shame!
I couldn’t do that job...
Oh gosh, I hope an ecological survey was done before they destroyed it!! All the wildlife! 😦😯😟😔 It breaks my heart, that looked like a wildlife haven 😢
My thinking as well. Often land owners will make these changes without reference to anyone else for fear of delaying their planned work. Wild life, conservation, preservation doesn't enter their thinking.
Hi ladies, I feel your sadness, that dump had become a real haven for wildlife and I felt so sick seeing such destruction. At least you managed to rescue some of the dump babies that live there. I think that Kate's 'big marble' is a Jack or 'Cochonnet' (French 'piglet') from a game of bowls or 'boules.' It was a game that became very popular during the 19th century.
Big hugs,
Louie Xx
I'm sorry for your loss of this dear 'friend'. It was so close (literally) to you and gave you so many nice things. You were so good to go and save what you could.
Brought tears to this old man,they are destroying my beautiful Britain.
What are they going to build I wonder?
Just heartbreaking hope their comes a chance it will stay a empty field,so mudlarking could continue Wouldn't be the same but a future field of dreams?
What a bittersweet ending to your faithful dump. She seems to have been giving you some of her best treasures. Tears and cheers! Keep hunting!
What a terrible loss. The poor trees and treasures. Our hearts go out to you all. ❤️
Also, I would react just as you both did to all this. I would speak to the dump and thank it and tell the little faces that they're coming home safe. I feel so connected to you lovely folks. Thank you for sharing with us.
