Managed to find a bit of history on this place!! Wheelbirks is a small rural part of Northumbria, located to the south of Hadrian’s Wall. According to several historical books, there have been farms in the area since the 16th century. David Richardson, who was a Quaker and the owner of some of the largest tanneries in the country, moved to the area in 1882. The family has a long history as tanners, tracing as far back as the mid-16th century to a site based at Great Ayton, Cleveland, so they had a considerable amount of wealth and influence. In 1902, Richardson started work on replacing the original farmhouse at Wheelbirks with a Restrained Gothic style farmhouse and several small cottages. By 1911, the area was completely transformed, having changed from a small farmstead into a fully-fledged estate. Further development was prompted a few months after completion following an outbreak of tuberculosis inside Richardson’s tanneries. The sanatorium itself is a cruciform construction of steel-reinforced concrete, white engineering brick and glass. It was designed to appear as if it is standing on stilts in a hollow; three bridges attached to the main entrances of the building helped to create the illusion. The design of the structure, which is reportedly American-based, and its chosen setting is said to have comprised a fresh-air method of treatment whereby patients would be surrounded by countryside and a clean, unpolluted environment. Unfortunately, Richardson never witnessed the completion of the sanatorium because it remained unfinished at the time of his death in 1913. In the end, the building was never used to treat TB sufferers because developments in antibiotics led to important changes in how TB was treated, to the extent that the use of isolated hospitals was rendered unnecessary. Very unique looking place, couldn't help but laugh at the poses Lloydy was doing when you explained the history.
My favourite parts are the push iron ice cream bike,Norton’s Carhartt dungarees and his almost day glow hat that can be seen by angry landowners miles away 👍
Al , I would say anything is acceptable for caving , including a onesie, love the videos guys , please continue with the content, from a long time subscriber, take care lads
My dad knew Ed Gein . Gein had a house up north in Wisconsin and he also had a small plot of land with a garage on it next to our property in Greenfield Wis . After he was arrested the cops blocked off access to the plot next to us. My oldest brother and his friends got arrested for trying to break into that garage to see what they could find for souvenirs . good times.
Hi HoE, from San Antonio TX. This was perhaps one of your finer vids... WELL DONE! Ok, that creepy stairs room... homage to Escher's lithograph?? Al, for spelunking... not splunking(!)... minimum wear jeans, tucked inside of boots. I use to wear caving overalls over blue jeans... layered to keep in body heat. Also ankle straps, keep out the crawlies! I know, shut the hell up... except for the splunking part (wink wink, nudge nudge). "Attempting" to be not seen, Jon wears a fluorescent target bright enough that ISS observers blink! Thanks for another SUPERB HoE morning viewing... the only sub I will rewatch, time and again. Y'all the bees knees! 🐈
hi guys me and jazmin have only been wacthing your videos the larst week and love them. we think your so arigial and the best were seen we look forward to your next video x
seriously guys, i dont know why you didnt think of just taking off your shoes and walking barefoot through the water, keeping your boots dry, it wasnt deep and looked like rounded pebble stones. haha.. this was one of the best funniest vids ive seen from you guys. your imagination was off the top and was so funny, glad you didnt meet up with the cranky farmer you spoke of haha
Awesome show as always lads. I loved how you were hiding from the farmer and Norton desided to wear the brightest hat in the world... Very stealthy Norton..... Very stealthy... The milk tray man has nothing on you bud 😂👌 xx
I love your channel I'm a 71 guy fucking crazy person first thing in the barn you were not sure of it was a hay feeder for sheep second thing upstairs AL picked up. Was a connector for telephone lines keep making superb videos
"Because there's a guy who's in it, but he's always asleep" Hahaha That history explanation tho CLASSY This place is HUGE, awesome find! Worth the trek. I'm honking so much at everything being "where he used .... his VICTIMS" XD The endingggggg Nice one lads!
@@centralrefurbishment7912 We absolutely love the guys, We did have a bit of beef with them in the past but They are absolutely top lads! And I wouldn’t say stalking... Hiding in their Wardrobe and masturbating is more like indecent exposure than stalking 😂😂😂😂
Next time Norton is near a stream and if he's wearing his Bob the builder clobber with that hat, get him to sit on a tree stump/log and give him a fishing rod, then he can pass himself of as Bob the Building Gnome.
Your question about caving pants? I would wear cargo pants and a pair of semi expensive hiking boots with a thick chunky tread/soul. This was my setup while traveling through New Zealand on my 2 Lord of the Rings filming sight tours. I never regretted spending the money. On the subject of your PJ's, leave them at home or give them back to your girlfriend.
Ohhhh boy oh boy oh boy just knew u were in trouble from the get go getting over that puddle, which in this case Al was like a boss n straight over dry as yer like , hilarious when ya got their as Norton had THE WORLDS BRIGHTEST HAT ON haha very inconspicuous! Al's only interested in trying to buy a care from 1989 haha then as ya make ya back upstairs ya got mr fookin random Lloydy " Ohhh nice window " wtaf I'm almost pee'd my pants , I don't think you know how funny u really all are just love ya all n thank god yer all still in one piece, frikkin nut job shooting at ppl ! Anyway soz this was long but thanks for riskin ya skin an can't wait for more , much love n good vibes to ya , stay safe guys x

Petition to permanently bring back Al Cam
When Al has the camera you need to put "Al cam" at the bottom left corner

@@sh3tpostsgamertime204I like dogging
Love how you were trying to stay hidden while Norton was wearing a hat that's visible from Mars lol!! 😂😂
Nothing better than coming home from work watching these 3 explore with about of banter. They never fail to entertain
Norton always looks like he's pricing up a job lmao
Nick 😂😂😂so very true , ya Gota give it to the lad wearing them out in public haha
Pricing up a job in the 1960s
Good old Northumberland, right next to my house this!
Is that where you now keep your victims? 😄
Are you the mental farmer 😅
Another entertaining one boys. An not once did Norton or lloyd moan about having wet feet! Proper troopers.
Nice inconspicuous exploring hat there Norton
The Boys are back in Town!

I'd get the patch and the sticker!
Fuck yeah I'd buy that!!

Very good to see you back friends!
Great find, the structure externally looks amazing 💖 But going in there in stealth mode with Norton in a fluorescent hat?? 😮🤣🤣🤣
Had to use 4G to watch as Center Parcs WiFi doesn’t allow content of “a potential mature nature”
Bastards.
I hope it was worth the data
@@upthehoe well worth it, proper enjoyed this one 👌🏻 keep up the good work boys 👍🏻

😂
Al in his element in the woods, Al you a wolfblood too? lol.
Great vid again ladies what a strange place it's amazing these places are still around!!
So awesome to see you guys!
Why have you replaced Norton with a Dutch Fisherman?
Why is Anton Levey wearing pyjamas?
They're not pyjamas; they're Encounter Suits

"Because there's a guy who's in it, but he's always asleep" Hahaha
That history explanation tho CLASSY
This place is HUGE, awesome find! Worth the trek.

Al's hair is nearly as long as mine! Love it!
You guys definitely need to have your own show on discovery networks! History Channel or A&E one of them.
Next time Norton is near a stream and if he's wearing his Bob the builder clobber with that hat, get him to sit on a tree stump/log and give him a fishing rod, then he can pass himself of as Bob the Building Gnome.
"I dont want to alarm anyone but I'm possessed"....omg....I nearly wet myself.....🤣
Looks like a scene out of the chainsaw masacre lol.well creepy

The room with the first newspaper an the walls smashed.. The walls are asbestos.. No joke
Brilliant, loved every minute of this video. Edge of seat stuff and added gun shots. 😁😆🤣
It doesn't help trying to sneak past the farmer with Norton's head looking like a brand new traffic cone!
We love Al Cam
Norton your not supposed to Cross streams ( Ghost Busters)!!Al your fine glad you didn't say Cave Panties!
Norton looks like he's a garden gnome lol all he needs is a fishing rod n he is set
The friendly insults and replies have me Lmao!
Norton,hide, in that massive orange hat 😂😂😂
That place used to hold the international ice-cream and boating convention
More cartime with al, tune in next week dun dan der!!!!
Top job chaps
Great episode and extremely funny !! 😝
😂😂 I've missed you guys!
Their is a really good ice cream parlour right next to this but I’ve always wondered what was in it
its better to take your shoes off before walking in water. if you go camping always take 2 sets of shoes or boots trust
08:06 that’s the TB mobile lads, come on, how can you not know
That was an Epic Building I agree with Mark it looks like a crazy Hillbilly Crazy Chainsaw Massacre House!!
Love how he says boat 😂
Is that Benny of crossroads 😂😂😂😜👍
Al reminds me of Neil from the Young Ones!
When you did the history Lloydy just looks like 1 of them who speaks to deaf people in the corner of your TV screen
Scary place ..lol loved the ending .. 😂
