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!

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.

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.

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.

Good one Col catchphrase of KZfaq "a Very, Very long time" gotta love it keep up the good work

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!

Great video, Colin! But please at 1:20 a slim black shadow in the reflection of that left window, walking clear as day.. is that one of you guys?? It kind of looks spooky to be honest.. I like that you're not going alone to these locations like you used to!

@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 ..

The thing in the attic is a very early 1920s radio and it's aerial. Worth a little bit to a collector..

Down in the kitchen that was an old fashioned boiler for clothes etc. My Great Grandfather had one,my mum and me lived with him when I was a baby for a short time. Then we went to live with my Mum's parents xxx

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.

Considering the house is so old & nobody knows it’s there that’s incredible. Good job buddy

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. Awesome find! Enjoy your videos!

This is a Fascinating old home.

Sounded like someone was chucking stones on the floor when you was upstairs, them cops at the end 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Break in it’s abandoned for decades 🙄 all those police , yet we had an trespasser where we lived a couple of years ago and police didn’t bother to turn up , luckily I can hold my own, yet a rotten old house and everything is falling apart they send all resources to it 🤦‍♂️ other than end drama a good vid as always 😎

Omg Colin what a find. No fridge unfortunately 😂 all those police just for you, mental.

The big tin full of sugar may have been for feeding bees as there also were 2 white machines that looked like spin-dryers that I suspect were actually the machines used to seperate & clean raw honey.

Good morning Colin, great video and find, just to let you know I've seen those toilet systems before which were lead lined inside, keep up the good work

Totally over the top response by the police and the 5 foot police woman with the torch sums it up.

That house is a real blast from the past, a proper time warp. It’s obviously been abandoned for many years. There’s no way I would have explored it in darkness as it was really spooky.

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. 💕🇦🇺

Wonderful explore Colin. It seems that when Taser and you team up, the police get involved 🤔 😆. Stay safe out there boys. Cheers from the States 👍🤙

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 vid. The stick with the copper end in the loft is called a ponch or laundry plunger. Was used with a tub for washing clothes 😀

I am sure I have seen this house before, the exact same thing happened to the explorers when they were upstairs where things were thrown around.

Love having the bajeezes scared out of me from the safety of my home. Thanks! Really enjoyed this.

Wow you normally don’t get that many cops to show up to a house where people actually are living 😂

We enjoyed this so much! Keep up the good work Collin. We are fans from the Netherlands! 🎉🎉

Adam Explores was here 2 months ago .. he picked exactly the same book up as you did. Very freaky lol. … and why is it always you that gets collared by the fuzz 😂.. enjoyed 👍🏻

You are really awesome! Only you could have gotten caught by police in a house so hidden! Lol

This is far one of the best videos I have seen from you. The find is amazing a home decades old that has not been touched, the suspense caused from the noises and last but least your reaction to the find. Thank you very much for putting this video out there for us to enjoy.

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.

That old mattress on the floor looks like what is called a flock mattress, filled with fleece off sheep.

another exciting evening with Colin and tazer great video guys I think the blue lights where after you're autographs 👍😎😎🤣

Older houses have atmosphere that just is missing from newer places.

Fantastic video Colin one of your best absolutely ridiculous the amount of police though! Shocking

Just..... wow!! 👏

the plunger was for washing cloths in a tub

Fabulous so old as well ...awesome video

That thing you thought was an axe looks like a draughtsmans set square. I have something similar in my loft. The short bit slides along the edge of a drawing board and the long length is your accurate horizontal or vertical line.

I love those old built in stoves that have tiles on the front.

I bet the cops were talking to themselves and saying well then who is going to go in there to search for the burglars lol as they might know what the house is like and did not fancy their chances of bumping into something or someone in the dark lol, Love it

This has got to be one of the best explores colin.A absolutely amazing time capsule from decades gone by.

Hi Colin brilliant video again I see your friends the police came to see you yet again my mother and grandmother had one of those plungers it for doing the washing in a tube they go back over a 100 years keep up your brilliant work and videos Bernard

How many police 😂. Didn’t even get that many when I actually was in a situation where someone was trying to get in my house with my children in it. Unbelievable. Great explore allthough the house was very creepy, FairPlay to you doing it at night

Love your stuff really interesting, as someone mentioned earlier that Adam Mark was there a while back and did some spooky stuff, and says it’s very haunted!!

Great explore the old amateur radio set up is really cool

Tazer is back! I saw him in the Irish bar explore but forgot to comment. Tazer you were almost right with those things on top of the radio...they are artillery shell fuses 👍

Radio and aerial in the loft... Possibly a base for a standard lamp also.

The thing you found in the attic was for washing clothes you had a large metal barrel and you use that to plunge in and out to wash your clothes. 😀W .

Well done for getting down the ladder I'd be too scared - after a ghoul chucking stuff LOL

That intro music at the start really sets the mood for the video. Good work Colin. Shame about the last part but guess they were just following up on reports.

Hi Colin. That was one booky looking house.

Thanks for taking us on this adventure, another great video 👍

Thanks for another great explore 👌 😀 take care my friend much love 💘❤ 💘

That place had a lot of amazing 30's details, that's probably the last time it was modernised as the structure and windows do seem older. Either that or it's a 30's build with mock Tudor features. Love it either way! Awesome find!! 😊😊

Omg off the bloody Scales Colin, what a Outstanding house, wiv a little extra Paranormal, I can't believe all them police car and van's just for you 2 lmao, but Probably not funny at the time for yous take care stay safe 🙏🇬🇧❤️🚔🚔🚓

Awesome Colin ....creepy too ,forget the rozzers ...

the thing with the stick is for washing clothes. water in a tub and always up and down. the water then flows out of the holes at the bottom under pressure.

What you thought looked like a plunger is a laundry ponch, used like an old wooden dolly to agitate dirty laundry.

The 3 things on top of the radio in the first room upstairs were timer fuses for bombs. The long handled thing in the second room that you thought was a plunger was a posser, used to wash clothes in a large barrel

You ought to make up some business cards with your KZfaq Channel name on them, to pass out to police the next time they're waiting for you. You could have them in a quickly accessible pocket, hand them out and tell them to look you up. They seem to catch a lot of urban explorers in the act.

Omg, report a real crime and not a police officer in sight!! That was overkill 200% great find, spooky and once a lovely home 🌹

Great video as always and lovely to see you and Big Taze together…such a spooky vibe in that old place😬

As I can see the Radio is a ICRANIC 6 VALVE Supersonic heterodyne receiver about 1925

That plunger thing upstairs is what they would use to wash clothes. The radio was incredible. What an incredible find. Thanks Colin and glad to see Tazer, Nathan with you.

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 👍

That looks like an old WWII radio upstairs. Whether it transmits or just receives, I'm not sure. Some radio ham might be able to tell you more. But definitely a radio n areal. 👍🇭🇲🇬🇧

I'm glad you took Tazer with you in this spooky house 😅

That is a very old radio upstairs. Could do with being given to a museum.

This place is so well preserved

I love your work, utterly hooked

Got to be the creapiest, sadest explore you've ever done. Very brave of you

What a little beauty that was Colin, loved it. I wonder who the lady was who lived there, nice little loft conversion she had and considering how long it's been empty, it's still doing reasonably well! Can't believe all those police for what could have just been a homeless person looking for an empty place to sleep !! That bed looked like my grans old bed, they were so well made back then with sprung bases that lasted a long time. Loved this explore, no daft ghosts or paranormal nonsense, just a brilliant explore of a very old forgotten little house ...... fantastic, thank you xx 😘👍

Grate find both and you had a welcome party 🥳 when leaving the house definitely was a time capsule and a bit spooky.

What is it with you and Tazer and the police 🤣 🤣 🤣

The plunger thing may be a washing machine, clothes in bucket with water lift up and down.

The item in the loft is for washing clothes. You plunge it up and down in a wash tub. I believe it is called a clothes dolly. The short wave radio is awesome.

Sorry but that spider! That was a really spooky house. Loved it though!! I'm glad you weren't alone. I couldn't do what you do No way!!! The police ending was a surprise to you and to us.

Yay Tazer! I love you two together. Very nice house, Lots of cool stuff. And finished off with a fine brace of police officers. Looks like it was a quiet evening and everybody wanted to get in on the only excitement of the night.

Brilliant house maybe the noises in house trying to warn you 😀 lol so many coppers ..

wow great video really enjoyed it, I must say I thought it had been empty a lot longer than the date on the papers suggested.

That was scarier than any horror film I've seen this year..............

Albert James Powell (8 December 1893-15 February 1979) was an English cricketer, who played a single first-class match, for Worcestershire against Lancashire at Worcester in August 1921.

Hi Colin great explore mate

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.

The pole in the loft is a wash tub poss stick used to pummel clothes in the tub

nobody knew the house was there but called the police that it was broken into. and I agree with what Alicia R. said about what would happen in the US. The thing you thought was a plunger, I think it was used to wash clothes. Put clothes in tub of water and use that to plunge the clothes up and down to get clean.

Wow what an incredible find a real time capsule it feels so sad that a nice house is left forgotten and lonely take away all the vines and I’m sure the house would be beautiful thank you Colin

you can't fault the people that lived t there they just helping fellow people

I was holding my breath. Lol

Serious question : are you not worried about breathing asbestos in? Alot of These old places have asbestos most places.. ceiling, around pipes and so on and of course most of these places are in damaged states. Kind regards

Wow well that was a creepy house I think some spirits were letting you know they are still residing there you must be more sensitive as you felt the air change around you also I should send you one of our hand sized huntsman spiders 🕷 you’d love it haha great explore love from your Aussie supporter 🇦🇺🐨🦘❤️xx

That’s awesome that you can explore without trouble from the authorities. Here in the U.S. you would be arrested for trespassing, unless you have proof of permission to enter the property. Very cool find.

Great ending guys

That vhf radio 40s 50s used in cold war valve radio

The long handle things was a posher for washing clothes back in the day x

Great video, guys! Thank you! Why, oh why, do this after dark? You would have been so less conspicuous during daylight! (And less scary for you too!)
