There were a lot of butterflies flying by that day, It was a lovely warm day too 😉 a big thank you buddy for your very kind support too 😉😉😊 Sending my best and have a wonderful week
What an amazing place! And I loved learning all the history about this place! What cool architecture. Beautiful landscape and drone footage too! Excellent video! This is the best way to learn. 😃💯🙌🏼
Amazing history there. Was great learning about the French and Henry. Great history lesson on the fort and showing us around.glad you had a wonderful weekend. And have a great week too. Jamie and Rachel 🙂👍❤️
Thank you Jamie and Rachel, I actually saw someone with a metal detector in this area, I can imagine he’s found a lot of things around here 😊 catch up soon guys
Hello my friend 👋 hope you are well 😊 I visited your fantastic channel and enjoyed watching this very interesting performance and footage. Nice historical informations. Keep up and keep sharing such stunning video. stay healthy, have a wonderful day. Here is your friend Athir from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you guys, it’s an interesting fort set in an equally interesting location too 😊 I certainly enjoyed the visit and sharing this with everyone at home. Hope all well and catch up soon
Wow that is a great place. Very interesting info Stephen. An understandable location there. Enjoyed this video. Big like from me. Hope all is well. Take care. 👍🏻🚶♀️🚶🏻♂️
Thank you buddy for the lovely comment 😊 it’s much appreciated 😊 I watched you guys this morning on Paul’s channel 😊 great collaboration and maybe next time Yhana and I will try and come along too 😊
Hi, Stephen and Yhana. Thank you for sharing. This beautiful image and the rich history in the background...6:02..surreal.. The drone footage really portrays the scale of Coalhouse Fort...9:54 So are there many arm forces left on the property?...10:20 Do you believe this fort is haunted? May I ask the reason why Coalhouse is not open to the public? Any danger inside the building? This place is massive! In spite of the fort, those pill boxes are tiny.. How intimidating to stay inside the small spaces! The watch tower stands still proudly...what has it witnessed in the past?... Very fascinating site and history. Well done. 🥰🍁Sorry for the delay in commenting. Kayak7seas and I just back from filming from the Atlantic sea...shhhh🤐...🥰🍁
Hey buddy, The watch tower was used to guard the river Thames from submarines and German boats during WW2. I believe in ghosts, there is more to this world that we don’t realise. I think it’s closed as there are areas that are unsafe, plus they are slowly restoring the fort. I think it will cost a lot of money to complete and it’s very much of the beaten track, so it will struggle to earn a profit from tourism. There are no armed forces left on the property. So you have been out filming on the Atlantic 😊 very cool 😊☺️ can’t wait to see the video buddy
@@StephenandYhana I would love to see the inside of the fort someday..So much unknown history to me. Fascinating.. I may dream about being left in the tiny pillbox..😲😲 Shhhhh...we just kayaked to the 10th oldest lighthouse in the US..sheeee...🤐
Cool place to see and learn about. That is an awesome looking fort. Great drone footage to put it into perspective. Creepy to hear about the unexplained things happening. Awesome architecture and stone work. Too bad about the graffiti. Thanks for the tour. Well done on your video. Have a great day.
I thought those vines across the fort certainly added to the feel of the place too 😊 it’s a huge complex, I can only imagine what secrets it holds inside 😊 catch up soon Donna
Fantastic nice interesting site love the spooky paranormal tale just right for October. Plenty of interesting history here! Thanks Stephen nicely done!👍👍
Hi Stephen that was a spooky lunchtime viewing hehe 😀 It was an amazing looking fort, seems so big and in a fantastic location, great drone footage but ooo I don't think I would like to meet Harry if I visited there , I would not like to get hit by a chair ! And I also don't fancy the sound of noises and heavy footsteps and figures appearing! Thanks for much , that was great and really interesting :) ~ Anna 👍
Thank you Anna, I don’t think I would meet Harry either, he sounds like an angry spirit for sure 😊 👻 I can imagine there has been some scary moments inside that place. A big thank you for the comment and catch up soon
Take a unique historic site, fabulous building architecturally speaking, sunshine, blue skies, ghosts, Stephen, a camera and a drone and you have this wonderful historic 'lesson' to enjoy at leisure. Wow, that was awesome Stephen. 👍 💖 🇳🇱 🙋♀ 🇳🇿
Wow! Wow! Amazing fort Stephen. Love all the history associated with the Fort, the French and Henry the VIII It was amazing to see around it, pity about the graffiti😢 Inside would be amazing to see too. Great exploring this Fort. ❤ Thank you for taking us along 🙏🏽👍🏽🤗
Thank you Joseph, I enjoyed making this video and visiting this incredible site, I think I would have loved to see inside too 😊 catch up soon buddy and have a lovely week 😊❤️
Coal house fort 🤩 I love that place. Shame you couldn’t get in, it’s amazing. Did quite a few ghost hunts there 😮 and had some very interesting events. Great video 👍🏻
Hi Cara, have you been here before? Very cool and even better that you did a ghost hunt here 😊 it’s an incredible site and I loved the visit too 😊 The drone footage, Peter filmed for me, lol 😆 😊❤️
@@openmindedwonderer lol 😆 Peter has a new toy, he likes his tech lol 😆 I will have to look out for a ghost hunting evening there. If I see one come up, I will let you know 😊😊❤️
Nice fort. Too bad you could not go inside. Hopefully one day they will open it up. The drone shot of the fort made us think of the layout of Ft Sumter which we had recently visited
Hi Jim and Pearl, I have heard that this fort looks very similar to the forts in the USA. I hope they do open it soon too, it would be very cool to be able to explore inside 😊 a big thank you for the comment and for watching too 😊 sending our best and catch up soon
Enjoyed your exploration of the Coalhouse Fort, Stephen. So much strategic importance throughout the years even before it was built. Loved hearing the history and with so much history, how can there not be a few ghosts. As for us, we'll leave Harry behind and use the bathroom at the pub that must be nearby somewhere! Thanks for bringing us along.
Lol, I think I would use the bathroom at the local pub too lol 😆 a big thank you guys for the lovely comment, hope you are both well 😊😊 catch up with you wonderful guys soon 😊
What a fantastic place to explore Stephen!! Packed with tonnes upon tonnes of history. You should become a tour guide with the amount of knowledge you keep up in your noggin! Loved the background music, very atmospheric. This place feels so isolated, lonely and for some reason very sad. Enjoyed this one. Hope you're doing well 👌👍
Thank Gez, for the lovely comment buddy, the place does seem very lonely and very isolated too. I don’t think it gets many visitors but it’s an incredible location to explore. I would have loved to venture inside, maybe I will return if they ever have any open days 😊
I think I would love to scuba dive in that water too, it’s probably full of cannons, ammunition and tons of artefacts too 😊 it would be a great exploration 😊 catch up soon guys and have a wonderful week
The German subtitles worked well, Stephan. Thank you so much I can better understand your story. Castles and forts used to be of particular strategic importance. It's a pity that today it's only nuclear weapons. Thank you, pal 🤠🇩🇪👍
Peter, I totally agree with you, the strategy of war has certainly changed over the years and become a lot more devastating too. A big thank you for the kind comment about the subtitles 😊 it’s much appreciated 😊😊 hope your having a great week and catch up soon
Hi Stephen. Fascinating place! Is it likely to ever be opened to visitors? From the drone shots, it looked like it needed a fair bit of restoration! Interesting video👍 All the best and take care👍😊
I think it will take many years before the place is fully restored, I hope it happens sooner then later though, as I would certainly love to explore inside 😊 Catch up soon buddy
It is very lovely there, nice coffee shop on site too, great for a walk with the dog too, as the area is lovely 😊😊 some spooky 👻 things happen inside that fort though xx
A very interesting place to visit and investigate. It was fascinating to hear about the paranormal activity which has been experienced there. I wouldn't like to be in the way when Harry throws a chair! Thank you for sharing these details with us, Stephen. Btw, loved the drone footage too! 🙋♀🙋♀💕
Thank you Julie and Lucy, I wouldn’t want to be in Harry’s way either lol 😂 a big thank you for the wonderful comment, and hope you girls have an awesome week 😊❤️
What an amazing place. I had not come across this fort. You have shown me many places I had not heard of on your channel. I have visited Tilbury but not this fascinating fort. Yet another interesting story that you have told.
Thank you Ivor, it’s only a few miles from Tilbury, but it’s lesser known, but equally as interesting 😊 set in much better scenery too I think. I hope one day they open it to the public 😊
Such stunningly beautiful landscape and the historical buildings are just so lovely. It's mesmerizing to look at. Sad that they had to graffiti things 😢 The drone views ...wow! Just leaves me speechless there beauty of this all!
I agree, there was a huge amount of graffiti inside those gun batteries, it’s such a shame. It hopefully they will keep up the work with restoring this incredible site 😊 a big thank you for the wonderful comment and catch up soon
What an amazing place! And I loved learning all the history abut this place! What cool architecture. Beautiful landscape and drone footage too! Excellent video! This is the best way to learn. 😃💯🙌🏼
This is a really interesting looking fort Stephen. I really wish people wouldn’t graffiti over the walls… seems to happen so much nowadays. I enjoyed your lovely tour and it’s interesting history. We have a Fort here called Fort George…i know you like history so google it if you have time one day. They have ghosts walks here which are a fun experience. Thanks for the great tour. 👍😊🇨🇦
Oh wow, Fort George sounds very interesting 😊 A place I would love to visit for sure. Maybe one day you could do a video on it, and share it with us all 😊❤️❤️ I will definitely Google it too
Beautiful location...history and nature too. You did excellent research about the fort! Aerial view helps to appreciate how it really looks ...Take care, have fun!

Hi, Stephen and Yhana. Thank you for sharing.
This beautiful image and the rich history in the background...6:02..surreal..
The drone footage really portrays the scale of Coalhouse Fort...9:54
So are there many arm forces left on the property?...10:20
Do you believe this fort is haunted? May I ask the reason why Coalhouse is not open to the public? Any danger inside the building? This place is massive! In spite of the fort, those pill boxes are tiny.. How intimidating to stay inside the small spaces!
The watch tower stands still proudly...what has it witnessed in the past?...
Very fascinating site and history. Well done. 🥰🍁Sorry for the delay in commenting. Kayak7seas and I just back from filming from the Atlantic sea...shhhh🤐...🥰🍁
Hey buddy, The watch tower was used to guard the river Thames from submarines and German boats during WW2. I believe in ghosts, there is more to this world that we don’t realise.
I think it’s closed as there are areas that are unsafe, plus they are slowly restoring the fort. I think it will cost a lot of money to complete and it’s very much of the beaten track, so it will struggle to earn a profit from tourism.
There are no armed forces left on the property.

Hi Steve, thank you buddy for the comment 😊 it’s certainly an interesting site, with a creepy piece of history too 😊😊 catch up soon
The Fort looks like an amazing place to explore and it was fascinating to see from above. I love all those vines covering the walls. 😀
I thought those vines across the fort certainly added to the feel of the place too 😊 it’s a huge complex, I can only imagine what secrets it holds inside 😊 catch up soon Donna

Shockwave reaching over half of a mile, incredible! ⚠️🦾🛡️
