How To Climb A Chimney With Overhang

[Deadstick]

This man was a living legend in Lancashire and his home town of Bolton Fred Dibnah i am surprised he was never killed doing the job he loved, the Chimney in the video is in the town of Darwen in the past it was a cotton mill which was a huge industry in Lancashire, its called India mill and is now a call centre and many other offices, i worked in there from time to time as a contractor, very impressive building built by real craftsmen, Fred was also the man who errected the ladders to start with.

He was big into restoring steam traction engines.

See his travels across Britain on his restored machine as he was dying from the cancer that ended his life. There are multiple episodes.

We don't need chimney sweeps anymore in the Colonies.

He was quite a character, a one off, he even sank a 70ft replica coal mine shaft in his back garden
