  • Hello! Eh Up! And how ya Diddlin!? In this weeks video, we go finding the remains of an English mansion in the woods. Bramcote hall, near Nottingham to be precise. The hall is long gone, but there are some fantastic remains of its former terraced gardens.
    I hope you enjoy the video, cheers, Steve ❤️

    Always a pleasure and never a chore watching your video’s Steve. Especially this one mate a 12th century church tower let me put it into perspective. It was built a couple 100 years before America was discovered how amazing is that? It’s still standing. all the best mate looking forward to the next one.

    Truely lost heritage, under the trees, where nobody sees. Keep up the great work. Mum loves the way you use old sayings and your accent too. 👍 Hugs and smiles across the miles.

    Thank you Steve. An old staircase in the middle of the wood, Fantastic explore! It really is amazing what is left for nature to reclaim.

    What a great outing, thanks! I've heard tell that if you go up those steps at just the right time you'll catch a glimpse of the old Hall before it vanishes in the mist...😉

    I like that, bit of a different noseh but great nonetheless. Them stairs were stunning. I'm toying with the idea of building a 'ruined' folly in me garden, some of those walls and balustrades gave me some great ideas.
    Thanks for the video Steve, as always brilliant to watch.

    If I came across a flight of stairs out in the woods like that I would thank the woodland fairies for making my walk easier.

      Thank You for showing everyone the photos and history of this fantastic place. How could they demolish all that? I am happy to follow along as you find the remnants of this great place. Wish I could be there out in nature. Nature sure takes over when humans depart. If we didn't have these videos I couldn't have the adventures with you. Thanks!

    Did you notice the tower portion of the hall had disappeared in the later dated photo?
    Also coal- you probably know Woolaton Hall had possibly the 1st railway in the world to bring coal from Strelly pit. Wooden rails & horse drawn I shouldn't wonder.
    Great video Steve, I watched Ant Dakins vlog about Bramcote Hall a few weeks ago, wouldn't mind a mooch round myself but no time these days!

    Nice trick with the LIDAR map didn't know about that, I find that website tricky to use at times. Liked those steps.

      I find the "swipe on" feature much easier to use. Specially on phone. The maps are overlaid and you drag the line across.

    Steps "humanize" the site. Look down at the steps and begin walking up them. Slowly look up, letting yourself imagine you are following someone, and instantly traverse the difference in time.

    Interesting stuff . That tunnel under the stairs is probably an escape route for the mansion's owner.
    Bankers and MPs always need an escape route 🤨🤭

    You are saying lieutenant incorrectly. It's 'leff-tenant'. Look it up.
