I wonder if that bed in the master bedroom has been there since the 1600s, or 1700s or 1800s....

Everyone that knows of these beautiful buildings and its contents should pressure government to take action if there are no surviving relatives give things to museums have auctions sell the propertys there are many homeless people dont have a home

1827 is in 17th century man

I live in USA I love your show Lesley I am 58 years old I can recognize most of the tools and tv and ans machine I wish times were like it was when this house was first built. Thank u so much for your shows

Thank you for the information. Appreciate that and interesting.

Thanks for this information.

I wondered if it was related to the Guild of Millers, could be both I guess.

And outside of indigenous buildings like Mesa Verde, Plains Mounds, or the Pueblos, our 'history' goes back only to 1400's Spanish, some still in Southwest and Florida.

And left her shoes!!

I don't know anything about construction but even I kept thinking someone could save this place. Dig the river bed deeper or something. Such a huge shame.

I was thinking the same thing! Perhaps they could restore it with some modern flood protection and make it a museum.

it was abandoned probably around year 2000. There is digital electricity equipment (those white boxes with screen).

@@ligametis Yes. It’s obvious it hasn’t been vacant for 50 yrs. I think it was an assumption made from the date on the newspaper.

@@ligametis wat is the comment?

@Cheryl David video makes assumption that this building has been abandoned for longer than it really is

I support you. That place should be turned into a good museum.

That would be a multi-million euro project to create an alternative water pathway to alleviate the flood problem. What the family should’ve originally done in the 1800s was elevate the entire house a little higher during the building process even if they had to build stone steps leading to their entrances

The mill/house functioned well with the river for three hundred years. I imagine that the growth of the nearby city and the increased paving of streets and building of homes and businesses has resulted in more runoff as there is less open land to absorb rainfall. This could be why the home began to flood when it hadn’t had that problem for centuries.

That blanket was very clearly just put on. Or at least turned over. I find it so frustrating that things are not left as found and are staged. It’s so unnecessary. I used to be subscribed and that’s why I considered unsubbing. That and the fact that there’s a tendency to overdramatize and make wild assumptions about these peoples’ lives. I had stopped watching andchecked back in to watch this episode - there was less of that, but still some staging.

@@sammyjo8109 They are known to stage these places. They move things from room to room, often even during the video you’ll see things in one room at the start of the video turn up someplace else later in the video. Often you’ll notice, too, that just outside rooms that look in fair order, there will be pikes and mounds of trash and dirt from where they have cleared and cleaned a room up a bit so they can make their claims that it it’s “as if they just left”. It’s sickening. I haven’t watched one of their videos in months. I watch only those who are interested in portraying things as found. And without making up stories - I should just call them what they are which is lies - about the previous owners or occupants of the homes.

He was never married to Margaret.

@@vanessasimmons1175 Margaret is her sister, not her daughter. Anne is her daughter.

I'd say melancholy.

@@jrd3523 Yes , that ' s the word.

You do get he is breaking the law...he is breaking and entering...

@@jj3111 He didnt break anything lol!

You mean when the video was filmed?

Thats what the curtains are for. start the fire at noon, work untill the evening, before sitting down to eat the wife/kids would close the curtains inside the rooms to keep the heat close, when you open them again you vent the heatthrough the whole house again.

Electric boxes look like from 2000.

It's 17:08, but yes. The building has been abandoned much later than that. Also, 50 years of constant flooding would have caused much more damage than that we've seen.

They should be no older than 20 years old. so I would expect building was abandoned around 15 years ago.

Haha..He does have a resemblance to him.

Cristopher Plummer doesn't have such smiling eyes and heart warming, contagious smile. Lesley is even more handsome!
