To Daniels' amazement, a classic British Triumph motor was left to rot in the abandoned barn.

The bright red relic was a British Sports car that was once a traditional open two-seater produced from 1955 to 1962 by the Standard Motor Company of Coventry.

He told Media Drum World: "From what I could tell with the vehicles the Triumph TR was made around 1962 and the house with documents and calendars the place has been left abandoned for a good 40 years to decay and rot."

What was once a traditional open two-seater now lay rotting next to what appeared to be century-old Victorian combustion engine tractor.

The tractor looked to be from the early 20th century around 1899-1916 and was amongst other memorabilia strewn over the floor.

Both vehicles were left gathering dust under a sign stating: "John Griffith and Sons Agricultural engineers." 

The barn, situated in Herefordshire, looked on the brink of collapse with rotting walls, mould and decay.

Luckily the explorer was able to capture some pictures before it was crushed under the dilapidated barn roof.

Other artefacts included ancient 'creepy' prams next to display cabinets presenting fossils and pottery.

Daniel said he was a great way to catch a glimpse of the previous owners lives.

He added: "I have had this on my map to check out for years, I just did not get around to doing it, so seeing all that was left here was a very pleasant surprise.

"From what I could tell it was quite a big established farm that must have gone defunct.

"Most likely the previous occupants passed leaving no one to inherit the property and the land."

The discoveries continued as he went upstairs to the attic to uncover more ancient pottery that appeared medieval or roman.

To Daniel's surprise, the cars weren't the only collectors dream as there also were a set of National Geographic books dating back to 1934 and spanning to 1961.

Next to the barn was a decaying 18th century manor house that was starting to crumble away.

Despite the manor collapsing, the barn was still mostly intact offering the adventurer to observe and take pictures of the hidden gems.

He said: I love taking photos of different things and items and dramatic places such as this and showing how these places were once filled with people enjoying their everyday lives and now the space is vacant and left.

"To be honest the atmosphere was quite exciting."
