A house.......with an underground chemical lab????
In this explore we visit an old Mansion in the English countryside,
Built in 1878, this household once entertained the likes of Queen Victoria's sons.
Until recently it formed part of the rural campus of a well known college, as we venture down into the basement, we discover vast underground labyrinths of labs!
This reminds me so much of Spencer Mansion from Resident Evil, the mansion then being a facade for the sinister work in the underground complex.
Will we find the undead...........

Brilliant work 👏 Loved this. Thanks very much. For anyone interested, the Manor House became 'out of bounds' to staff and students in July 2014. There have been plans to sell the house off and convert it into luxury apartments but there has been outcry over this, as the University still intends to keep running the campus (in the many other buildings on the land). Only the house and formal gardens would be sold. Due to the backlash, all plans are still on hold....6 years later.
Interesting, I was wondering why it's just sitting there abandoned. Thanks for the info. 🙌🙋🏻♀️🙌
B John thanks for the info 👍 🙏
Superb Alex. That Hothouse conservatory sold that to me. Beautiful beautiful building. Thanks Alex, taking all the risks so we can all enjoy your finds!
Glad you liked! It was baking in there lol.
And you're welcome Nanny 😊
Watching from S.E. Tennessee, and I’m blown away how such a beautiful building could simply be left to rot. Thank you for yet another fantastic exploration, gentlemen!
You're welcome! Glad you liked that explore, such a unique building
Yeah with all the homelessness.. you'd think they'd use some of these old building...
13 Tory scum years equals a poverty UK
The problem is money. These vast properties just after WWII attracted astonishing amounts of tax so that families sold the contents and gave the properties to the state or applied to demolish. Some were taken as institutions others became used schools or research institutes. These were run by companies who made profits or losses. Land was sold off the buildings remained but could not be demolished by this time but were severely expensive to maintain and were left to rot by companies that were headquartered abroad. They don’t care and would like these to fall down and sell the sites. The houses themselves have no validity today as you can well see. They were only viable to highly monied people 120 years ago or more who could engage very large staffs for little money.
Alex are you educated on Tartaria history that has been untold..when you are exploring these beautiful buildings and you are blown away by the architecture this because its not built us...
Look up "Auto didactic" on CZcams and a understanding of this will come to light. when you are exploring you have a better vision at what you are looking at..
Sadly all these buildings are mostly in hands of gov or elites. this to hide our history..but its coming to light💞🙏🌻
😅 when you made the noise faking a sensor sound😂 I love when you guys are messing with each other get spooked
Your skill Alex in touring these complexes is getting better each time! You deliver quality content and I appreciate it!
Very kind of you Fred!
I hope it comes across that I just love an explore, just a big kid really 😉👍
I think the majority of the lowest level was for science-based research on plants. None of it looked like biology of anything else. When this place was a college, students may have studied about farming. Loved the video guys, Thanks. This is a gorgeous place to explore and then show us all you've seen. So Thanks again.
Amazing 👏
Prof. Michael Hassell (named on one of the notices) is an important internationally renowned biologist, working primarily on insect ecology. There is nothing particularly secretive in the research work carried out here at Imperial College Silwood Park campus, previously and now - just making best use of available space at the time.
Absolutely gorgeous property! The woodwork is stunning. I couldn’t get over the size of this place. Great episode. Thanks for bringing us to these great places.
The first building you came across is called an orangery and victoriana had them built to show of their wealth to house rare and exotic plants
Well that was a nice surprise! Designed by my mates great, great grandfather as a private house ...
I can't believe such thing is abandoned. It cost millions. If the owner want to move he could just sell the mansion on discount. He could still earn millions and help another to get excellent mansion.
Beggers belief that beautiful buildings like this are empty. Really enjoyed this one. Thanks Alex 😃
You're welcome Raven, yeah such a unique find this one! So much to go through as well.
Wonderful explore team. Watching from New Zealand and love your content. Thankyou for being amazing
Wow New Zealand! Greetings from the UK, glad you're enjoying the adventures mate nd hope you enjoy the upcoming ones!
So crazy! These places are insane. The fact that they had multiple uses over the years is incredible enough but then to see them abandoned or at least out of use is wild. Makes sense as they must be a nightmare to keep in good condition and to run/heat etc but looking at the billions of pounds that the 1% have and the thousands of people without homes and then you get places like this just sitting there…it’s all so screwed up. Anyway, thanks for the amazing explores guys! Keeping me sane at work 🤣
It is eye watering the amount that has to go in to just basic maintenance, let alone restoration!
Such a cool place to look around, I'm glad I could distract you at work for a bit 😉
Cheers for watching 👍
Super building with some very interesting features. Eddie, may I say reminds me of a runaway train. I do not think I have come across an explorer as fast as he. And he does not seem to get out of puff. lol. Hope this great building is saved and goes on to be occupied for a long time to come. Thanks for the great video, guys.
He makes me laugh
@@maz121able Me too
Fast Eddie strikes again!! Cheers for watching Sharon!!
Thank you for taking the time to create these videos, we appreciate it. You three are an awesome team xx
Love the green house. Cup of tea in middle of winter 😂. Enjoyed the older parts.
I think I will be on the edge of my seat with this one, very fitting for 🎃 halloween can’t wait.🏴🇬🇧👌
I agree
168th! Scary basement guys! MAD SCIENTIST AREA! Roger in Pierre South Dakota USA
WOW.. You explore some wonderful places... Such Beautiful woodwork and that stained glass window at the end, gorgeous... Look forward to the next one... Thanks so much Alex!
Wow beautiful facade,enjoyed seeing all the old woodwork,still some beauty in some of the rooms indoors,interesting the greenhouse still in good condition,a little eery seeing the storage/lab rooms in the basement,thxs for the explore Alex,enjoyed it👍😊🇨🇦😊
Yeah such character to this place, with a story. If walls could talk!
Cheers for watching and commenting Marilyn
Really enjoyed this exploration guys... All sorts of ideas run through my head when I see these rooms (especially that chain and lock). Better you than me! Will keep on watching from New Zealand. Be careful 😮
Very cool explore! Fun to see Alex being sneaky and Pompeye’s jump scare, it adds an element of fun to the video. Great work!👍👍
😁👍 cheers, glad you liked that one!
@@VacantHaven I meant to give Ned a shout out too! Good job!
The locust room: The locust room also known as the chamber of locusts, it’s the second chamber inside the apocalypse temple. It was introduced in EP 44 The perfect swarm. just looked that name up but can’t be good what they have done down there.
Plants in there = someone looks after the place. Interesting building.
A very cool explore, there was some pretty cool detail in that section with the railings etc, they are probably keeping the heat on to stop any damp. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 🥰
Watching from USA,PA. This looks like it was a medical college?? Why don't you do research on the building. This was beautiful.
Thank you guys for this gorgeous find and tour. Wonderful work in exploration.
I will be watching it later. It will be a great and interesting exploration once again. Thanks Alex.👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Wow that place was huge.. Wonder what went on in the basement? Not seen anyone else explore this one. Nice to see both Vacant Haven's not forgetting pompeye. Take care guy's. 👍
Loved the video! Thanks for taking us along!!!
Sad it's so expensive to maintain...beautiful wood work. Glad Ed is there. ❤
love it when you three go on an explore pompeye cracks me up.. quality explore lads this is epic..
Thanks PnP
Glad you enjoyed 😁👍
Enjoyable explore Alex Ned and Pompey quality viewing mad a place like that being empty enjoying your explores great 👍 👍👍👍
LOL @17:00 you even had my heart pumping. Great explore, guys, thanks.
Another good explore! You never disappoint. It was good seeing Ned on one again, too.
Really enjoyed this one, especially Nedd catching you both out. Nice rooms upstairs but those cellars were a bit weird, keep up the good work Alex its definitely appreciated. 👍
Cheers HD yeah Ned shat us up a bit there lol.
Such a crazy sized basement, who knows what went on down there?
This fully gives me Spencer Mansion vibes!
This looks like one of the locations where the UK mini series of War of The worlds was filmed.
Oh labs as in "laboratories". I thought you found Laboradors under the house.
This sounds awesome, really looking forward to it.
Do you think heating was on to protect those beautifully preserved architectural features. The basements were staggering. I am dumbfounded.
Who’s paying the electricity bills?? Could it be experimental food, crops lavatory, making mosquito proof crops??
Another great explore😊
They used to study biological pest, disease, and weed management there.
What a beautiful place this is .Thanks for an amazing video . 🇨🇦
Brilliant work and I just subscribed to your channel.
hey Guys I enjoy the videos I give It a thumbs up everytime , just never comment. So I look forward to them every Sunday.
Thanks for the comment, glad you're enjoying the adventures 👍
Can't wait for this Alex love all your explores
Thank you Little p hope you enjoyed 👍
I always like his Explores 👍
Thanks guys always a pleasure to watch your explores ❤
Cheers Scarlet glad you enjoyed! It was a pretty unique one this! 👍
That place was huge. I like the atrium was nice and bright😊👍
The face on the fireplace is the all seeing eye. The SON.SUN.
Amazing property!
Crazy but an interesting historical building
Wow. I’d love that as a home great find guys and stay safe on your travels
4:18 the chain 😱
Another great video..keep up the good work 👍
They state on the website that this Imperial College campus was focused on biological ecology and evolution. So why did they build a nuclear reactor here in 1965?
That's why the heating is still on!
Great video Alex really enjoyed this explore what an amazing place such a shame yet again it's just sitting there going to waste and rotting away, keep up the good work 👍 and great content 👍💖 thanks for sharing 👍
I've watched a few of your videos now and so grateful for the chance to see inside these magnificent buildings.
Please can I recommend a channel called My Lunch Break. He's been deep diving on these old building, he's uncovered much that has been hidden. ❤
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍 I'll have a look at that channel, cheers
@VacantHaven thanks for responding. One of the reoccurring themes with these ancient buildings is the amount of time they took to design and construct, most are usually completed in under 2 years, bear in mind they were all built without so much as an electric screw driver, as power tool didn't come into use until the late 1800s, long after these building were erected. The other problem that seems to go with these buildings is the lack of a building merchants' names being provided, the suppliers and transporters of materials required.
I'm sure what you and your mates are doing has come at the right time for the right reasons.
Stunning house
How do the plants get water in a glass enclosure? The place reminds me of a sanatorium.
There would be a sprinkler and humidity system to keep it warm and moist, almost tropical.
Very cool place
this place has a serious resident evil vibe!
Guys love the building outside nice big rooms hope someone will buy the building furniture gone so some ones moved out
Super can't stop watching 😊
Nice one, glad you enjoyed Darrell
Man you are going so fast your missing a lot of architecture
Awesome place.
Great video.
👍👍👍👊😎
This would make a great haunted house for Halloween. Great video!!!
Yes theres some rot here and there but seriously...there shouldn't be any homeless people or families struggling after job loss. Places like this could be given the basics in the better safer areas to give dry short term living for genuine cases .even a week or two up to a few months it could be life changing. Unbelievable how the power is still on...shameful 😢
Thanks for another interesting explore lads👍
One solid steel safe, and two bank-type vaults (one of them locked tight).
Maybe we can house loads of the elderly there this winter to keep them warm.
With the price of energy
Amazing place boys well done great video it was never ending just sub to your channel 😀
Thank you Glenys!
Glad you enjoyed the explore 👍
I hope you used sage before and after!
They need the heating for the plants
That place is a maze, I'd be lost in there forever.
Amazing beauiful house and ground are 🌹 lovely
Great explore Alex, that place was Awesome 👍
Amazing place
I love castle and I hope do more videos
Brilliant an explore with Sat Nav Ed and Incognito Ed and our Alex. Interesting place with a few secrets hidden in the basement by the looks. Great explore......no climbing lol. Thanks Alex xx
Whose watering the indoor plants
Great as usual guys xx
Awesome video!
Thank Connie glad you liked that explore 😁👍
I used to live next to this, and the new facilities are just around the corner.
There's a decommissioned nuclear reactor there.
Great explore
Cheers Rob 👍
Fabulous building but obviously caretakered
Great Video as per usual going to binge watch a lot of your older videos at the weekend :)
This place kinda creepy
Check for bones in the furnaces.
This property is eventually going to be used as something else, with the electricity still working.
Place is awesome was it once a home 🏘️
Awesome and super quick explore. I loved the woodwork in that Atrium and some of the grand rooms with those ceilings. I think Pompeye is right about the conservatory - should be full of Parrots! 🦜🦜🪴🥬🦜🦜
hey guys some place you guys certainly find the best
been a muti-used mansion Lord n Lady?????
that glass-house was in its day used for tropical plant growing
Lord n Lady whoever would take tea served by the butler in there ,,,,, its called a orangery,,,,,
Edwin John,,,, Beverly Hills California US
Did you ever find out what was going on with that lab in the basement ?
Good video
Amazing find well done great video 👻
Cheers Clare, hope your explores are going well 👍
@@VacantHaven would like to meet up one day pls message David pls sort something out it would be nice to see you guys
@@UrbanParanormalXplores would be good 👍
Wow, if walls could speak...Gorgeous place. I hope they don't let this fall apart much further. Such a waste.
You guys having fun like little boys on a huge playground is just so refreshing. ☺️Keep it up, guys. 👏🤎👏
Thank you N Light, glad you liked!
At the end of the day I think we are just big kids who love an adventure!
