We Found A Fully Stocked Nuclear Bunker From The 80’s At This Abandoned Mansion!!!

- Опубликовано: 6 мар 2021
- This Mansion has been empty for many years now and I’ve personally known about it for at least x2!.. finally got around to having a look wile on the way back from another location. Sadly the house was sealed tight.... but the secret bunker definitely made up for that! The most recent date we found was on a bar of soda from the 80’s!!! This guy was fully prepared for a Dooms Day Apocalypse!.. I reckon he had enough supplies down there to last him at least x6 months maybe more? And it’s all still there!... completely untouched! A true time capsule 👌🏽

this house belonged to the millionaire mapmaker david ronald wood, who sadly passsed away in 2012. he is known for having the largest civilian owned fallout dhelter in the UK, and his books on the subject of Rennes-le-chateau. his book geneset target earth is actually quite a worthwhile read.
Thx 4 this info.
Interesting thanks 🙏
It's a pity no one took it over but Thanks for an amazing adventure😊
I would definitely remodel and update that and move in now. The world is crazy enough now to bunker up
Owner died in 2012, he was a professional cartographert and book writer. the review on his book sounds pretty deep, from the garden of eden through the snakes eyes, Atlantis and secret societies from the Knights Templar to the Freemasons and world secrets and end of times, crazy smart guy.
Also a guy commented he worked for the government and that he actually knew stuff, some nasty knowledge about what could happen which was one reason he build the bunker
Curious, who was the owner? Would love to research his books.
@@binder946 I cant remember, it's in the video or comments probably, been a while since I watched it.
@@romanmichaelhamilton8729 His name is David Wood.
@Tobi Gibbons, well it's easy to say/think that way when U are in a good state of mind. One little part I've recently learned when I was put in a respiratory care for some weeks (f-g VAL) and was able to breathe by myself. I've never had hallucinations before, but I got it then. I'm still, 18 months later, not sure of all parts. Dreams or real? Your mnd is VERY strong and when it decided to go in a different path.... Just find a way to live. Hughes to all guy's
Looks like the owner was prepping for the near imminent Cold War around the late 70’s early 80’s. Scary times!
Get it back up to spec because the Chinese are getting awfully aggressive and 60 countries want to kick their a$$! Of course with Beijing Joe at the helm of the once free world, China is leaning forward when Trump knocked them back on their heels. Bribe-em, I mean Biden is a dote and he is bought and paid for like his son by the red menace!
scarier now .
Given how unstable things seem compared to the Cold War, it isn't nearly as scary as feeling as though nuclear war was imminent, esp after Ronald Reagan was elected. The BBC film "Threads" illustrated how surviving a war would be, and it's US counterpart actually scared Reagan into accepting Gorbahev's overtures to come to some sort of peace agreement (which was awesome & unexpected). @@tommas2674

Someone once had a happy time there, pottering in the garages and work shops, luvly place, hope it becomes once more a family home and not demolished for a estate.
Looking at the the dates of that food is like looking through my Nans cupboards
Lool
My cupboards aren’t far behind 😂
I was thinking the same. My great nans house had loads of old stuff, and the garden shed looked like this place. Spiders galore, mould and more. Wouldn't go in there without a mask!

These books were published between 86 and 94. A signed copy goes for about £30. The books subject matter would align with the Bunker.
Ya beat me by a fortnight!
His books seem interesting
Found some stuff about David Wood. He was known as the man who had the largest privately owned nuclear bunker in the UK. It was apparently featured on a TV documentary in the 80's. He was a Rennes-le-Chateu conspiracy theorist alongside the co-writer of the other book Ian Wallace Campbell. DW died in 2012.
@@gino_Utah Afraid not. I guss it's one of those things that someone might find on a videotape one day and eventually put on RUclips.
Them books also still selll for £22.50 on amazon lol
The David Wood author of Genesis: The first book of revelation, is still alive and American, according to wikipedia. Also David Wood the actor, also still alive. I don't know about this other David Wood, as there must be thousands.
@David Wood Oh, dear, hope this isn't a Mark Twain moment.
Seems to be the consensus of those with sufficient interest in the books and subject to post articles.
@@ohrworminc Google david wood the author. None of what I found was hard. All Wiki/Google for my sources. David wood, this author, was a christian, pastor, nut job in his (probably) 50's by now, and still writing bollox
WOW thank you for putting in the time and effort filming this and sharing. Sad to see how things can change, once a home now unused.
It never fails to shock me when I see these houses and all its contents just left to rot. Brilliant explore 👍👍👍
Same here🤨it’s unbelievable that ppls would leave everything . Shaking my head
@@williambergman3840 i have to assume some of them have died without a will/listing it on a will or moved to a different country. i wouldn't be as moral as these people in the urban exploring community. i'd loot the place
@@cagneybillingsley2165 Well you are the idiot vandal who breaks things.
If there is no clear inheritor and the owner didn’t leave a will with instructions on what to do with the house - these things can get stuck in probate for years and years. Sometimes there is just nobody to inherit it, but more often when there is the persons probably don’t want it, as it will come with a massive amount of inheritance tax that’s unaffordable. So you could be an average person, find out a long lost relative leaves you a house like that. HMRC will value the property at current market values - and then bosh you owe 40% of a couple of million quid, and you are stuck with a derelict house and a huge debt. For most people it’s not worth it, so that’s usually why you find these places, people don’t want to touch them with a barge pole !
David Wood was a British army-trained surveyor who founded a successful lithographic company. Wood spent years researching the mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau in France. He surveyed the area and looked for clues in rennaissance paintings, books, and art, but made very little progress. His eventual success was aided by other researchers, such as Henry Lincoln, who co-wrote "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" (which was a very popular book in the 80s; I read it, and it proposes that Jesus lived in Cornwall from age 12 to 30!).
Wood published his findings in "Genisis", and also co-wrote "Geniset" with Ian Campbell, a computer scientist.
He died in November, 2012.

Thanks!
Hes still alive 77

That’s a great video guys! Thank you very much for making sure no kids can get in there that was a very smart move and very considerate.
Thanks for sharing your Explore, agree the Bunker is Incredible, the effort to create the bunker and the thought and preparation that has gone into creating the bunker is unbelievable. Once again thanks for sharing your work.
Awesome video of that bunker of years gone by. Thanks so much for sharing us your travels and experience.
Unbelievable explore there B Ex 🧔. The guy wasn't going to run out of toothpaste in a hurry ! amongst other things 🤣🎥👍
The Daewoo was actually a Ssyangyong first, it was then sold rebadged as a Daewoo.
They did use Mercedes diesel engines.
Ssangyong Korando
The Daewoo had a MOT (annual roadworthy test) until 2 August 2016 and VED (annual tax) to 11 May 2015 which is bit odd. The Micra's MOT expired on 27 April 2014 and was SORNED (declared off the road). Not enough number plate to check BMW.

That is the most amazing exploration. Thanks gents -- takes a lotta guts to go into a place like that. One thing -- here in Australia -- if such a property did exist it would be gutted/ vandalised and burnt within a couple of weeks of abandonment.
Great explore lads,, thank God they never had to use it,, I've been in an operational bunker in the 80s but that's a different story,, keep em coming,,, stay safe, 👍
Wow another awesome explore 💪👍. Really didn't like the look of that water in the swimming pool gave me the shivers.
As said before love how always respectful you are when you go around places. Keep up the fantastic work 🙏
That bunker was crazy how did they plan on getting out after it was safe to do so mad the money that cost to set up probably more than they paid for the house 😲👍👌
I remember as a kid seeing people building nuclear bunkers, a chap in our village ran a business building them. It was certainly a scary time.
@@AndyUK-Corrival My Dad told me that a salesman tried to sell him a fall out shelter in 1983.
The cost would have been £15000.
My Dad politely declined and said that it would be better to go out in the explosion.
It's only two 20ft shipping containers
Thank you for sharing, great bunker and amazing find. Would have loved to seen inside the house but this was a very good explore. Well done guys.
Says with surprise "the date on this soap is nineteen eighty one" as if James Cook had just sailed on the bounty.

What an awesome place.Makes you wonder what the house was like.Such a shame ppl have to trash things.xAwesome.xx
that was a good day! let's keep the bangers coming!
Wow,,amazing find,the bunker was mind blowing,everything just left,it's incredible,great vid👍
What an amazing place, that bunker blew my mind. Great video
Random and awsome at the same time! Mind boggles, I'm going to Google that book now😁
Great explore, as always
I just stumbled upon this video of yours. I had to watch it till the end 😃 Great explore and nice to see in the comments that others have found more info about who lived there.
It must have been some how depressing for the owner to see it not being maintained and fallen apart. Sad that no other family member have taken over or sold it to others who world have appreciated it.
I like how you explore, not destroying anything and leaving it in the same condition as before 👍...a man who knows about e30's and like to explore...you got a follower 😁
Thanks for a great video...it was exciting to watch 😃
Great to see you found another amazing place !👍
Brilliant explore, great video and amazing location. Great work
I greatly appreciate your care in the places you explore. You enjoy for what it is and leave it be for others to see also, doing your best to leave no trace. Well done 🙏🏻
Sad to see the destruction, the senseless destruction, of the property from someone who came before you.

@@mattl6004 yes you can
@@mattl6004 As long as you're not defacing or stealing things, then sure. The real problem is the random people who come there, tag all the walls and break all the fixtures - there's a ton of really cool stuff in there that's just completely trashed, and I guarantee it wasn't urbex people doing that.
@@mattl6004 Its not trespassing unless you refuse to leave after being asked!🤷♂️
The Genesis book is selling for $153 US each. Imagine how much money you were staring at. lol
What a waste then, get a few boxes at least..
Make an offer to BUY the place as-is.
Sell the books.
Pay off the mortgage.
Use the bunker for 2024.
Your theme tune is amazing, along with the explores. Appreciate you BE!
Amazing. Hope you find more places like this!
Greetings from Texas. I watch a lot of urbex-type videos on YT and this is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating. For 1970s design, that bunker isn't bad at all. Modern day we know more about the importance of air filtration and whatever, but for the time, that was impressive. Fantastic upload, I enjoyed every minute.
So sad that these homes just sit there abandoned. So much potential. I would love a home with land around it. So peaceful.
I fully agree. Btw what’s that yellow thing on your face in your picture? (If that’s even you?) A bit of the headdress that you’re wearing?
🤣
Thank you so much for this video. It is absolutely amazing. Your so lucky that you go to explore this place ❤❤
wow what a find and what a great video, sad we werent able to see inside the house but still great video.....
Wow! Great explore. The bunker is amazing. The whole estate must have cost a vast amount of money. Wonder why it is vacant/abandonded.
Awesome content, great job. 👊👍✌
Really interesting to see so many abandoned places there. This is really a special place. So much effort to built this an equip it. Maybe the owner is dead now and never used his bunker!
What an amazing place ...thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻
Wot a brilliant video well done can't wait for the next one 👏
Need a Part 2 of this property
Your videos deserve so many more views dude. They're awesome!
Thank you 😊
@@TheBeardedExplorer Awesome video - has made me do so much more research on DW
That’s a great find well done. Amazing place
Great video. You guys cracked me up at the end with the dialogue while closing the bunker door together.
Great find, Wish you had filmed more on the communications set-up in the bunker.
i have pics of this place before all the peasants trashed it. friend used to own it.
Worth a dozen thumbs up. Great explore. Well done.
Absolutely amazing find what a place love your videos they are always really interesting
Awesome find ! That owner was an OG Prepper.
David Wood was a millionaire mapmaker that had the biggest privately owned fallout shelter in the UK in his time
Is this david woods house?
@@wirelessone2986 yeah
Awesome, man. Thank you for the info. Do you know much more about his history? Like, was he born into a rich family or did he create that with mapmaking in his own lifetime?
I didn't even know pools in bunkers was a real thing. I thought it was only in movies.
@@adamhaney9447 there wasn't a pool in the bunker
One thing I have known and experienced is houses that are secluded and large pieces of property make good places for chop shops and to ditch stolen cars. If that BMW had been there that long with a broken window I'd have expected it to be a lot worse inside.
I watch these videos and wonder how much that house is worth. I live in a state in the US where I paid $125,000 for the house and now it is unofficially appraised at $375,000 but could go way up if I tried to sell it and a bidding war happened. It's always interesting to see what housing markets are like in other parts of the world.
WOWW , STOCKED BUNKER !!!
most amazing video I've ever seen
Incredible explore, thanks for sharing! Cheers from Utah, USA! :)
That was a great video, one of the best abandoned explorations. It would be great to see inside but so much stuff going on outside.
Was this property ever sold ? I like that diesel gen set with a crank on it. Reminds me of a gen set I acquired from a old garage before it was torn down. The gen set has a flat 4 head cylinder and a crank on front as well as electric start.
In that bunker where you explored the underground was old WWII book on operation of antique radio and controls and operation.
I looked at an old minute man silo that came up for sale upstate NY.
200K plus the money to have your own bug out nuclear shelter.
Really, really interesting... I would love to have seen this in its heyday.
Again, absolutely amazing find 👍
You can tell how young these guys are. They called a car cassette player an 8 track. So funny. They probably wouldn't know how to use a dial phone.
I was wondering if anyone else saw that...that was just a nice in-dash cassette player he had in his hands.
That was an 8 track.
that looks like the pool used in some movies : was it cocoon ?
what kind of people feel they are interesting enough to write their gibberish all over things .
a sad thing : if the family that built all of this - their children / children's children could not take over for any reason : I take it and love it .
The asbestos sticker on the shock mount on the bmw! That’d be for brake pads surely?!
I’d say the bunker was created in the sixties. Looks like the supplies were raided, likely very little of the food was left when you got there. Amazing vid, ty 👍
Great video Loved the bunker Thankyou for sharing it
I remember growing up in the 80’s scary time with the Cold War
They say we were at the very brink of WW3 in late 1962 and late 1983
i was born in 1944 catherine
I knew nothing about it lol I. Was in my teens bk then.
@@angelacarinduff9111when I was at school in the late 70's early 80's in Yorkshire within 10 miles of a USAF radar / early warning base we had a map on one of the classroom walls with 10 mile concentric circles centred on the base indicating pedicted nuclear blast damage.
We were inside the first circle. Needless to say had the shtf hiding would have been somewhat pointless.
It would have been awesome to know the owner during those times.He couldn’t have been the only one who thought the world was ending but he obviously had the money to build the bunker.The guy had to be a genius.

That machine you found in the one out room with the two spotlights on the side is a high quality photo reproduction machine. You would insert the image or book at the bottom and then use plate film loaded in the top part. It would make a plate negative of the book or image u have at the bottom. The plate would be used to reproduce copies. Those machines were used by forensic laboratories in the late 80s early 90s
Probably used to make the images for the books. Those were two of the best sellers at a bookstore I managed in Sedona in the 80's and my own bookstores back in the 90's. Lost both of my own copies and would love to have them again.
@@AZStarYT you sound awesome and also sound like you've had quite the life
They're used to make negatives, part of process for offset printing machines and to create Positives, used in the process of screen printing.

Interesting that you passed right by 60 gallons of Dairy Hypoclite with no mention of it. It is so sad to see in the younger people, how little they notice because they know so little!
I'm surprised not everything was vandalized and stollen, good video 👍🏼
gotta love them preppers lol just think how the new bunker is looking :D
the '80's were a scary time. we all though we were gonna die in a nuclear fire ball. the wealthy built bunkers, the rest of us just partied like it was 1999.
@Andy Smythe i'm a yankee. they really want as few people voting here as possible. easier to cheat that way. i was stationed in germany in '84-85, in a us army tank unit. we got "patriotism reinforcement education". basically, do as you're told, believe what we say, and don't question authority figures. right, like that's gonna happen.

The 80's? I can remember doing bomb drills in grade school in 1961! Everyone in the states were beginning to build fallout shelters due to the paranoia of the big one. The threat has returned unfortunately, and bunkers are becoming popular again. Makes one wonder what people 50 years from now would think if they stumbled onto my bunker! Hopefully they would be as impressed as I was when I watched your video of David Woods' bunker. I would imagine his bunker was state of the art in 1978. Great find.
Do you remember the instructions in the PSA to take off all your internal doors and make a den under your stairs in the event of a 4minute warning 🤣 I'd still be looking for the right screwdriver before I was turned into ash 🤣
@@handyhippie6548 You mean the Trumpites want to inhibit voters and voting.
and the 50s and 60s were major nuclear paranoia. The world is loading up with crazy exponentially.
Yeah being stationed in Germany was great..
Bunker looks well built in terms of no water or rising damp. But best believe he would have been better off sitting in that soft top jeep instead of in that thing if nukes went off... no visible recirculation systems or air filtration at all.
But probably made him feel "safe" and "prepared"
Not that you could see. The intake pipe and exhaust next to it in the beginning of the vid was for the generator. There are probably others not near those, so there wouldn't be carbon monoxide going back in. There was usually a hand air pump, because electric would fail, eventually, and carbon dioxide would build up from people breathing.
Better than taking a nuke to the face on the surface I suppose
Brilliant, absolutely loved it.
best looking bunker I've seen. some of the supplies might still be salvageable, I wouldn't try the food though. clean it, restock it, and get a heavy duty metal cable strapped to the door and run inside and you've got the makings of a secure establishment. Heck, even the generator looks it better shape than it should
Absolutely loved this video.I was a teenanger at the height of the cold war in the 80's..I remember always watching the news always worried in case tensions rose between east and west , scary times ,people lived and breathed it.I think if the unthinkable had happened I wouldn't have wanted to survive.Imagine getting trapped inside one of those shelters even if you did survive the blast? You would have had to have kept it very quiet if you had a shelter like that ,if we ever did get to the brink you would possibly have to fight people off to get in!.Enjoy all your explorations but this is my favourite to date ! Many thanks
Same here, watched 'Threads' about a nuclear attack on Sheffield. Very grim.
Yes, they frightened the shite out of us at school. Even our English essays had to be about nuclear war
70,s built tech is 70,s 1981 had apple computers , cells .
The Apple II with monitor and floppy drive mounted on computer box. 1977
In August 1981, IBM introduced its first personal computer to the marketplace
It's kind of sad to see the place in the condition it is in .The owner must have devoted so much time to this place and in the end despite all his preparation nothing could save him.I guess it shows that you should leave your home to a child or someone who will take care of it.
