EXPLORING ABANDONED CASTLE Everything Left Behind - (Urban Exploration on Isle of Wight)

  • Exploring Abandoned Castle; Norris Castle located in East Cowes on the Isle of Wight. Exploration inside, this Neo-Gothic Castle sits within 225 acres of grounds.
    It was designed in 1799 by the famous architect James Wyatt for Lord Henry Seymour.
    The estate adjoins the neighbouring Osborne House which was the country home to Queen Victoria.
    The castle had been left neglected for many years and in late 2016 the castle was purchased for 4.7million pounds by the owner of Island Harbour with the plan to turn the site into a luxury hotel and spa.
    In October 2016, the parks and gardens were upgraded by Historic England to Grade I, making them the Isle of Wight's only Grade I listed landscape.
    No damage was caused to the property during this visit and the site was left as it was found.
    I would strongly advise against anyone attempting entry to the property as the way in has since been sealed and the site has 24hour security.

      People need to have respect for property even when it's abandoned. Has it stops others from filming at these places. Asbestos is very serious to health yet people still don't wear the right equipment and clothing.

    This is not a medieval castle. It was built in 1799 for one thing. For another it lacks anything that looks like feasible battlements, while there are big windows on the ground floor. This is a manor house made to look (a little) like a medieval castle.

  • @brianartillery
    @brianartillery 7 лет назад +7

    What a beautiful film. I have heard of the place, although I never realised that it was empty. The condition of the interior is extraordinary. I hope that it is planned to remove the asbestos and restore life to this wonderful Victorian 'Gothic' building. It would be heartbresking if it were to be vandalized.

    • @AbandonedIsleofWight
      @AbandonedIsleofWight  7 лет назад +5

      It's been empty for some time the old guy living there died a few years back now.
      It is an incredible building and mostly in great condition, fortunately, it now extremely secure with 24h security (which is why I thought it safe to now upload) as I too would be mortified if it were to become vandalised... Thanks for watching 😃

      Abandoned Isle of Wight thank you, yes it is mainly in excellent condition. 'The Old Dude' Major Coventry spent a great deal of money and effort keeping it up - a small fortune was spent on the tower and north facade - and it really makes me angry when people talk as though it was neglected and allowed to fall down. Personally doubt the new people will do much in the short term

    Although I don't mind some communication as long as it's relevant to what they are exploring. History is amaZing.
    I love your style approach as you feel the indepth explore. It's not distracted in anyway. Taking in the architecture needs a lot of concentration and thought.

It was an amazing place and the furniture that came out was amazing and had so much history to it. I never saw the swimming pool though as we wasn't aloud down to the basement due to the asbestos.

    • @AbandonedIsleofWight

One of the security guards that was staying there at the time we went told us that late and night he could hear foot steps and doors closing... 😳

    I had a TV aerial job for the people who were living there once. Walking through the hallways was like being in another time. Suits of armour, paintings , wall hangings, weapons. The place was quite run down and the couple lived in a small part. I think private developers have taken over but they need a huge budget and I also read the local council are not happy with the speed they are working at this time.

    According to this piece here www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5289727/18th-century-castle-transformed-110-bed-hotel.html it is being returned to a 110 room hotel. It also mentions that the old Kaiser Wilhelm stayed there and had a bath built for him which is still there. Queen Victoria didn’t like it.

    Messrs Eamon O'Connor and Edward Wellington (2016 - ) Edit
    In February 2016, Norris Castle was bought for £4.7 million, with the intention that it be renovated and opened as a luxury hotel. The owning company is Uavend (Norris Castle) LTD, operated by Eamon O'Connor and his business partner, Edward Wellington. The selling agent set a guide price of £1 million, with the proviso that the estate would need millions spent to restore it.[90]
    At the current time, the project is in its planning and consultation stages.
    Is this still the case or is it for sale ?

    I wonder if anything has been done to it since being purchased? I would have turned it into a wedding venue/hotel/spa type business. I'm sure when fixed up it will look great. Probably haunted though. My daughter had her wedding at a 1920's mansion and I asked the workers if it were haunted and she said they have had some unusual activity, but it was a gorgeous home!

      MLMLW sadly, it’s pretty much been left.... it is on the English Heritage at risk list.
      Bought in 2016 with the intention of making it into a hotel, the owners worked with English Heritage who upgraded the house, the outbuildings and the farm to a Grade 1 listing because of its importance.
      The owners do want to continue work, but it will be very costly indeed.
      There’s a WIKI for it, quite interesting. 👍

      And part of of urban exploration is take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints. It doesn't matter what it's worth, it would be stealing and you could go to jail. Abandoned doesn't mean there is no owner.
