The deaths of Ross Broadstock, Alan Wilson, and Baram Blackett have left a gaping void in a movement already embattled by scepticism, ridicule, and indifference from the mainstream historical establishment. Now, with all three of its champions gone, the future of their life’s work — the re-telling of Britain’s history through the figure of King Arthur II — hangs precariously in the balance.
What should have been a carefully preserved archive of rare books, notes, research papers, and manuscripts has instead been abandoned to rot. Their home in Newcastle, once the crucible of their research, lies unsecured and neglected.

The situation was thrust into the public domain through a YouTube upload by the channel Wor Kev, titled “The Mystery House of Baram Blackett and Alan Wilson.” The footage shows two men entering the empty property and touring the rooms once lived in by Blackett and Wilson. From their living room to the basement, the camera pans across shelves stacked with dozens — if not hundreds — of unsold copies of their rare books, many of which are now gathering dust and mould. For a movement that has always fought for legitimacy, the images are heartbreaking: priceless intellectual property abandoned, vulnerable to decay, theft, and misuse.
Yet the videos revealed more than just forgotten literature. Personal effects — some deeply private — were also left behind. Among them, gay pornography allegedly belonging to Blackett. Its discovery is not in itself remarkable; such material is commonplace and speaks only to the private preferences of an individual. But its exposure highlights a much deeper failure. This was never intended to be seen by the public, let alone broadcast online. In leaving the property unsecured, not only has scholarship been endangered, but private dignity has been sacrificed. Instead of their work being remembered, gossip has been allowed to overshadow legacy.
This is not simply a matter of voyeurism or trespass — it is about respect. Respect for the lives lived, for the work produced, and for the decades dedicated to challenging the accepted version of Britain’s past. That respect is now in question.
Responsibility for the movement has, by default, fallen upon Angela, the widow of Ross Broadstock. By circumstance rather than choice, she finds herself carrying the burden of continuation. While Angela has shown loyalty to her late husband’s cause, it is fair to ask whether she is the right person — or even the best-placed person — to lead the complex academic and political struggle that Wilson, Blackett, and Broadstock collectively pursued. The task requires not only passion, but structure, resources, and leadership.

This brings us to Britain’s Hidden History, the Facebook group and wider community founded by Broadstock. If the group exists to protect, promote, and advance suppressed history, then it now faces the most serious test of its credibility. While lively debates and videos continue online, the tangible heart of the movement — its books, manuscripts, and archives — lies unguarded in an abandoned property. To supporters, this looks like a movement without strategy. To critics, it looks like dereliction of duty.

The deaths of Wilson, Blackett, and Broadstock were hammer blows to a fragile cause. But the greatest danger is not the mockery of outsiders, nor the suppression of critics. The greatest danger comes from within — from failure to act, from failure to safeguard, from failure to respect.
Unless urgent steps are taken to secure, preserve, and catalogue what remains of Wilson and Blackett’s work, Britain risks losing not just an alternative history, but a cultural legacy. The tragedy would not be that enemies destroyed it, but that friends allowed it to wither away through neglect, mishandling, and indifference.
