- Silverlands was built as a large country house in 1820 by local brewer Robert Porter in Chertsey, Surrey
It was rebuilt by Vice-Admiral Sir Frederick Hotham in 1849 and became the Hotham family home
The Actors' Orphanage, backed by Noel Coward, moved to Silverlands in 1938 and remained for 20 years
The property was also used as a nursing school to train staff for a local hospital and nearby asylum
In 2002 plans to turn the abandoned property into a clinic for paedophile were blocked by the local community
It has remained empty ever since and these images show how the once grand building is rotting and decaying
Was my home, in the orphanage, when I was a little girl, about 1955-60. I watch some of these videos in the hope of remembering more than I do, but I don't, no memories are jogged.
Another well shot and edited video my bearded friend. Great job pal 👍🏻
Thank you 🙏🏽 ☺️
Thankyou for sharing this fascinating building, it has some beautiful features. Sadly water damage has done for a lot of it now. Hope the staff were kind & children happy. Its good that you were able to document the place before it collapses.
Sarah Strong I was thinking the same. Hope for that even if some sadness came across to me as soon as I saw this building.
You always put such an emotional piano song as the opening of video, it makes the video even sadder you know! I'm touched !
The woodwork and staircase is very bold and very well made! The plasterwork on and around the ceilings blows my mind! Very old and intricate elevator or lift. Beautiful ironwork. Early 1900s or late 1800s. The fireplaces are magnificent all on their own. Fantastic glass work as well. Those pieces of the ceiling that has turned to dust might be asbestos, it was used extensively in buildings and institutions to guard against fires running wild and killing large numbers of people. In places this institution has a large case of RISING DAMP. By now you should know better than to look into toilet bowls!
Great video m8y 😎
looks a really great place to explore.
many thanks 🙏
🙂🍻👍
Very cool explore. Great find. Good job. 👍👍👍👍😎
Wow!! That is definitely a Tartarian mud flooded building, I bet it goes down a few more levels. Thx for the video.
Interesting video, thankyou for showing us this place
That staircase and chandelier is like something out the Titanic movie to think the craftsman that put that together now left to rot shocking another good Vid bud
Liking the edited footage. Place looks amazing.
Totally loved every part of this ,thanks for doing these explores so people like myself are able to watch ,in a way following your footsteps ,the music & drone shots at the start were just beautiful ,inside the architecture is stunning just sad that the upkeep couldn't have been saved ,I just love to do this just one but unfortunately I'm not able , so that's why it's nice to follow you're foot steps,well nice one and thank you ! Wishing you safe travel's all my best wished from a very wet Wales arm ☹️🌧⛈👊🏼😅
Nice to know the stories of each building thanks for these videos!!
Your my favourite explorer great stuff thanks
Cool vid, thanks for showing us
sad to see such a beautiful place in ruins. 😔
Well that was a nice example of old craftsmanship that place, sadly now it is: oh dear how sad, nevermind. been painting places like that in the netherlands here, and it is sad too see them rot away.
Sou fascinada com essas explorações nessas casas abandonadas. Adoroooo
such a shame to see a beautiful building like this. would look amazing if it was restored. the massive fireplace in the basement would have been the original kitchen. the room has been divided up
I think contractors need to remove as much as possible to preserve what is remaining of the beautiful architect; it is a crime to allow the decay of such beauty.
not as easy at that mate 👍
It hurts to see so much beauty wasted.
You're a poet at heart
I would really like to see before and after pictures of this.
At 25:41 I thought the massive fireplace in the small room may actually be a laundry Shute.
I hope someone salvages that staircase !
such a shame this stuff is left to rot.
Wow I'll bet it was a beautiful place to live. That wood work is still gorgeous. I hope somehow it could be used for another home or something. Thanks for the explore.
is iit still there or has it been renovated? i really want to visit
We our renovating it at the present time, but unfortunately it is structurally unsafe all floors have rotted.
I found some great pictures of Silverlands after a search of Robert Porter on Ancestry.com, and would share if you have an interest. We enjoyed your video and have subscribed. Thank you,
Who owns this building? Why has it not been restored?
We went there today and couldn’t find a way in 😔 being a female I struggled
Stealing lead off old buildings like that is so crap. Ought to lead to a long jail sentence as the damage it causes would cost so much to fix & causes the building to be lost to us all. Wanton destruction of history.
You should have taken the vhs tapes to see what it used to look like.
Scenes from a great movie were filmed here, did you know?
It was Grand in It's time xx
its time
18:47 i can see a scary face in the door window!
It’s criminal to let it rot.
