    Loved that episode! The war time postcards were amazing. Eugene Bickens, son of Joseph and Amy born around 1892, was in the Royal Horse Artillery and Royal Field Artillery, rank, Gunner. His parents were tailors, or at least his father was, (who was born in France). Eugene had two brothers, possibly Harry and Napoleon! If it's the same Eugene in 1939, he had married a girl in France, called Peaceful!

    Those spikes wheels you found are pattern wheels. They are used for transferring a pattern to fabric - you run the wheel along the pattern lines and it will prick holes in the paper, and you can then pounce chalk through the holes onto the fabric. I actually still use them to transfer my embroidery patterns - but those are way nicer than the ones I have! Lol. Great explore! ❤️

      I use them for leather projects. I was fortunate to find an antique shop that had a corner lot full of cobbler tools. Some really strange tools!

    Matt, tell a military museum about the letters you found from ww1. They should be protected.

    • @juliadagnall7103

      The problem is even a museum, can’t remove the postcards… it’s still classed as burglary

    That war letter from Eugene is so sad. It says he applied for leave, "but has very poor hopes of getting it. It has properly killed all my spirit for soldiering, I am disgusted with it, but I suppose I must carry on" I hope he did survive the war, this is just a glimpse of what these men/boys were feeling xx

    • @FINDERSBEEPERS
      @FINDERSBEEPERS  Před 9 měsíci +2

      It really is awful… but at least he survived it. He didn’t die until 1960.

    I really enjoyed tonight's explore .It is so sad that all those beautiful photos and embroidered cards from World War One ,are just left .I know if it was my house ,and I had passed away ,I would be more than pleased ,that someone had saved my treasures ,perhaps for a museum .

  • @Baldivis66
    @Baldivis66 Před 9 měsíci +1

    A brilliant find. Thank you for always taking the time to show us photos and the post cards, they give us a window into someone else’s life. You make me laugh at myself when you discover buttons, I almost look at them with my hands over my eyes in fear, I arent even scared of them! Lol. x

    Don't know if anyone else has mentioned it buy those spoked metal wheels with a wooden handle that you thought were for pie crusts; they are used in leather craft to mark holes for the stitching.
    Also in that same shot there was a leather hole punch on the table top.
    Love your shows and you are the best at it!

    The letter translated, very sweet.
    Calais on January 27, 1919
    Dear Uncle and Aunt
    We are very happy right now because baby Eugene is with us. He is leaving this evening for St Omer and for dinner we are with the family. Celine and her husband are with us. Our cousin is still the same very mocking, but he knows how to speak French well. We hope, dear uncle and aunt, to see you again soon, kisses from all the family.
    Your niece, Agathe

  • @janetdupont9342

    On the wooden plate, it was ‘Give us our daily bread in French’. The postcard was to his aunt and uncle. Really interesting explore! 😊

    the transferware plates in that hutch from the beginning of the video are so pretty.
    also, an uncut edge of a book, like the poetry book, is called a deckled edge.

  • @annacollier2936
    @annacollier2936 Před 9 měsíci +1

    Loved that house, the perfume brick was used for linen drawers, they sprayed perfume on the brick or lavender oil and made linen etc smell nice, perhaps to keep away moths too! ( dated from the 1930's)

  • @esmeyoung1396
    @esmeyoung1396 Před 9 měsíci +2

    From what I can gather, there were two Biekens brothers. Eugene Napoleon (born 1892) and Henry Francis (born 1890) both born on the Isle of Wight. Henry died in action on August 7th 1915. Eugene died in 1960.

    Matt, kudos to you for going into these buildings with sketchy floors and staircases,but the things you discover WOW! AMAZING! What a stunningly interesting find this was and I love the way you look at so much of the stuff (that’s what I would want to do ) thanks for all your hard work, brilliant ❤

  • @amandabeech8472
    @amandabeech8472 Před 9 měsíci +11

    Matt and bear, this was one of the best solo explorers you have done, some amazing finds, those beautiful embroidery postcards. The photo of the west minister abbey fallen soldier, in the first bedroom the little white dolls chair was cute. But the rusty spike tools, I think they were for making holes or patterns in leather. You did make me laugh when you open the box of buttons. The straw hat suited you, thanks for another mating video. 🥰

  • @karenconway6061
    @karenconway6061 Před 9 měsíci +1

    This house was awesome great video Matt. The cards were from the 60 s . I found my brothers cards from his birth and he had one exactly the same as the one you looked at.

  • @DeniseLaFranceCDNpainter
    @DeniseLaFranceCDNpainter Před 9 měsíci +2

    I bet that bowler hat on the pic of the guy is the one you were briefly wearing! Mighta been a tad small but it looked GREAT on you! Frog in ceiling kinda suits rabbit in ceiling in the 'where's the logic?' department. 😂

  • @PlayCator
    @PlayCator Před 9 měsíci +4

    Got emotional at the first hat, then switched to the tiny hat and I died laughing. Emotional roller coaster right there.

  • @colindolly
    @colindolly Před 9 měsíci

    Well done Matt, another great find. I am always glad to see you get out of these places without being seen. If some one ever does see you and says what are you doing in there, just say my dog went inside and you went looking for him lol. Bit of a problem if it is too high for bear to get in though. Rock on matt and Bear. Respect.

    Blue Peter book.....Valerie Singleton, Peter Purves and the legendary John Noakes (get down Shep) with dogs Petra and Patch.
    And Matt, how did you not know that little Wilson's tin from Sheffield contained snuff? 😊

  • @lorio6924
    @lorio6924 Před 6 měsíci

    There’s a lot of good stuff in that place! Those post cards should be seen by everyone in a museum or something. You should buy one of these places with all the contents and fix it so floors aren’t buckling etc and open a museum like a “explorer window into the world” and keep everything like it is so people can search through. Kids would love it - I mean I would have! Lol.

  • @kitchenskillet
    @kitchenskillet Před 9 měsíci

    At 10:10 those metal tools are for using on leather. They would make the dot patterns. And behind them, I saw a leather punch, for making holes in leather belts etc. Really love seeing all the old bits n bobs.

  • @DeniseLaFranceCDNpainter
    @DeniseLaFranceCDNpainter Před 9 měsíci +4

    The French postcard is to the aunt & uncle from niece Agethe who's traveling with their baby named Eugène. They're visiting a relative named Celine who has a mocking little boy who speaks French well. She sends kisses to uncle & aunt.

    The inside of the chair looks like burlap and maybe cotton stuffing.
    Love the hats 🧢 😉😊
    This is a place that i could REALLY enjoy looking thru these things. This is history and so interesting.
    Those hand stitched post cards are absolutely lovely and beautiful. I have NEVER seen those kind before. Those would be worth a small fortune. Amazing.
    This has been a GREAT explore.
    Its so too bad you cant take those hand stitched cards to a museum. Could you tell them as an unknown contributeri
    Cardinal Woolsey, wasnt he a jerk especially towards Catherine of Aragon. Or is it a different cardinal woolsey ?
    KNT is an abbreviation for Knight, i think.
    What a treasure trove of things.
    Awesome and amazing. Love it.
    Hope that flashing red light wasnt a silent alarm of some kind. You did mention the fridge was still running.which means electric is still on.
