Abandoned places, forgotten buildings, and time-capsule finds—every week.

Abandoned Places, Frozen in Time

We document the beauty and history of abandoned houses, derelict factories, rural cottages, and time-capsule homes that still contain the stories of the past. Our goal is to preserve these places on film and share them with a community that loves history, architecture, and the thrill of discovery.

About Side Quests Exploring

Side Quests Exploring began with one simple idea: tell the hidden stories of forgotten spaces. We’re a small team of urban exploration fans who film cinematic walk-throughs, show original details, and research the history behind each location. Every explore is approached with safety, respect, and discretion. Where possible, we blur sensitive info and avoid revealing exact locations to help protect sites from vandalism.

This forgotten home has been left to rot, yet almost everything has been left behind, creating a true time capsule frozen in time. With no electricity, no running water, and an atmosphere that became more unsettling the deeper we explored, this urban exploration quickly turned into something we weren't expecting. We discovered something (a real rare find for us) we've never found before inside an abandoned house, before spotting something else that completely startled us. Moments later, Paul thought he heard a noise, forcing us to investigate what was lurking inside. What really happened to the people who once called this place home? While the answers remain a mystery, every room tells part of the story. If you enjoy abandoned places, urban exploration, forgotten homes, hidden history, and exploring time capsule houses where everything has been left behind, you're in the right place.

They've Left Her BEHIND! Rare Find Inside Abandoned House Frozen In Time

We did not expect to find squatters living inside this abandoned mansion! The former Royal Marines Museum has been abandoned and is falling into disrepair which is not helped by the amount of kids breaking into this place. We’ve attempted to explore this beautiful abandoned building twice before but failed to find a way in, this time however we were greeted by almost 20 youngens who were running around outside. We noticed they were inside so we went in and they thought we were security and of course, we went with it! We cleared the place and had ourselves one of the best explores we’ve had for a while, I loved this one. The police catch us inside and the so called security guard who has his family living on site also sees us as we’re leaving.

Why do people leave everything behind and leave their family home frozen in time? This is the mystery of today’s abandoned explore with vacant haven. The whole mansion is covered in overgrowth and is not completely abandoned due to the amount of spiders that now live inside. Once we get into the abandoned place we were shocked to see that everything has been left behind! It’s a real time capsule, you wouldn’t be mistaken by thinking the owner must have just popped to the shop. There is so much stuff it really makes you wonder what happened and when? Join me and vacant haven as we have a goose around inside to try and uncover some of the treasures the previous owners have left behind. #abandonedmansion #timecapsule #abandonedplaces #forgottenhistory #decay #familyhome #urbex #exploringabandonedplaces #sqe
We Found Abandoned House Frozen In Time With Everything Left Behind

We were shocked to find rare Classic cars at abandoned scrapyard! Our explore started off fairly straight forward, easy access but we felt uneasy as some things looked fairly new. There was no gate just a path to enter and we immediately see rare Classic cars left abandoned at the side laid out like a car museum. As we walked further and it opened up from the trees we could see at least another 40- 50 abandoned Classic cars scattered all over the place. We have a good rummage around this abandoned place and find many beautiful things that have been left behind.

Our explore goes wrong when the police turn up whilst we’re searching this abandoned mansion on the outskirts of london. Have you seen last Sundays explore?👀 👉 We get up close to the beautiful abandoned building trying to avoid watching neighbours and them pesky armadillos. This abandoned ‘mansion’ was last used as a care home, such a shame its just sat currently as its an abandoned building full of history being over 400 years old! The explore of this abandoned place did not go to plan, when we heard the dogs and the shouting we knew this explore had gone wrong!

This Side Quest we explore an abandoned house where it feels as though a family simply walked away, leaving behind a lifetime of possessions, a real mystery of an abandoned place. Every room is packed from floor to ceiling with forgotten belongings, children's drawings still cover the walls, and thick cobwebs hang from almost every ceiling, showing just how long this place has been left untouched. With clutter covering the floors, we’re careful with every step as we honestly couldn’t see the floor. The front of the house appears to have been freshly boarded up—but by who, and why? As we search through this incredible time capsule, we try to piece together what happened to the family and uncover the story hidden beneath decades of dust and memories. If you enjoy our explores consider subscribing to keep up to date with our future explores, every Sunday 8pm. #abandonedplaces #abandonedhouse #timecapsule #everythingleftbehind #hoarder #abandoned
