They don't make 'em like they used to!! A real brave, patient, craftsman.

Reaction videos to Fred really warm my heart and this one was no exception. Twenty years after his death people of all nationalities, races and cultures still admire him, thanks to tv programmes and RU-vid. Peace to all.

@Alan.Moffat Год назад

Hardy old English man....... respect. From Scotland

@annemariefleming Год назад

Fred had to do it that way because blowing it up would cause damage to surrounding buildings. He used to assemble and attacht the ladder system to the chimney and set up his own scaffolding at the top, then move it down stage by stage as he removes them. £7000 was quite a reasonable price 50 years ago. Fred was a "national treasure". He was also into traction steam engines, and a lot of other specialisms.

@TheVanillatech Год назад

My Dad paid roughly £7k for the house we grew up in, a 3 bedroom terraced place in Yorkshire with a huge garden, around the same era (late 70's). Not a bad chunk of money, but what a dangerous job!

@raymondfarrimond2010 Год назад

I had the pleasure to meet Fred once I used to be a taxi driver on the rank at Kay gardens in Bury. Fred was driving a traction engine and stopped across from the rank and a few of us went and had a chat with him. A great man.

@garibaldi54 Год назад

£7000 in 1979 is the equivalent of £29,130 in 2023. Must have taken him the best part of the year to do it too.

@annalieff-saxby568 Год назад

A British National Treasure, and a man with nerves of steel.

@Andyb2379 Год назад

Had the honour of meeting him one in 1995. He was a remarkable man, genius in fact. To this day he is very sorely missed. He was a great ambassador to our industrial heritage. You’re not likely to come across a man that grafted as hard as he did.

@martinbobfrank Год назад

You have hit gold with Fred. As stated below, he is a national treasure to the British; god rest his soul. And, no, he didn't die from an industrial accident. A true British hero to the working-class.

@daviddogsbody Год назад

Fred. A legend. Falls off a pair of steps in his daughters bedroom and hits his head on a drilling machine. The question is what is an industrial drilling machine doing in his daughters bedroom.

@stevewest4994 Год назад

He must have been a bit of a nightmare to live with. I can imagine there were all sorts of engineering tools around the house. There was a TV episode where he took his family for a seaside holiday and seemed to spend about 5 minutes with them on the beach, then wandered off and found someone who needed a chimney taking down!

Have a look at Fred Dibnah putting the ladder and scaffolding on a chimney single handed, that’s even more amazing.

@Michel-7.7.7 Год назад

The most astonishing fact is, he build the ladders, the platform and mounted it by himself with rooes and pulleys

@AlanCanon2222 Год назад

I've climbed and rappelled 100+ foot shafts deep underground in Mammoth Cave, and felt pretty safe doing it, and I can't watch Fred Dibnah without my feet breaking out in a sweat.

@charliecosta3971 Год назад

This was in 1976. £7000 would inflate to £64000 today or $80000. However, it makes me dizzy watching this, and I wouldn't do it for 7 billion loool

@Isleofskye Год назад

Good Reaction but you have missed the earlier episodes. Now we all thought THAT was dangerous with no safety, whatsoever. NOW for the REALLY crazy episodes. lol In the first episode he "laddered the chimney". and he erected that ladder on the side of the chimney that he climbed up. In The Second episode(ALL on RU-vid) you see him create that staging or platform that was already on top here, in THIN AIR, on his own. LOL This is the 3rd Phase and Video 4 is him finishing the job so the others should be watched in order,my friend.

@user-zk8px7xt7t 2 месяца назад

Fred has unbelievable nerve and muscle endurance, what a guy.

@ianhampton6856 Год назад

Fred was a British legend and loved by everyone, he was so knowledgeable about buildings and ancient techniques. Watch his vids on laddering a chimney, amazing! Plus all his vids re steam engines and historic buildings.

@benmurphy3724 Год назад

This is wkd to see! Not even alot of people in UK know who this legend Is, the last of a great generation of English gentlemen 🙏

@maxpowerii7368 Год назад

not true in my experience. Can find eccentric blokes like Fred all over Northern England. BBC just doesn’t make documentaries about them anymore.

@NPA1001 2 месяца назад

I remember watching Fred as a child with my mum and dad and seeing Fred climbing those chimneys and my Dad turning to my mum and saying.. “If that was my job I’d tell you not to bother getting my dinner ready until you saw me pull up on the driveway”

@mervinmannas7671 Год назад

The whole country fell in love with Fred as he was the sort of hard working, honest, down to earth bloke who could talk and talk anf never get boring. You could have a pint in the pub with and get drunk on the laughter not the beer. He represted a generation that doesnt exist or is at least very rare these days. Now everyone wants to get rich quick or do so with the least amount of effort. Theres a lot to be learned from people like Fred. When the video ended one that was shown there you should watch. It is a man called John Noakes who was a television presenter for a childrens programme called Blue Peter. It was the action man and always got the daring stuff to report on. In that clip he is climbing Nelsons Column in central London to help wash the statue at the top. That is pretty hair raising too.

@eddyd2647 Месяц назад

Fred is a national treasure

@englishpassport6590 Год назад

Life was cheap when Fred was a lad the learning curve was steep but still there were many working men making their own way in their working lives just like him. They were in all kinds of trades and occupations but they were very rarely to be found in academia.

@zibbezabba2491 Год назад

£7000 in the 1980s. That would have been about $12,000. You're spot on. About $50,000 in today's money.

@Have a nice day ....and, a few years down the line when he's older, he'll see something that sparks a memory of something he once reviewed (Whether or not it was done for viewing figures) It may enrich his existential view. This, my friend is how we enjoy the collective global communication. Go and smell the flowers please before it's too late.

I went to a school called St Joseph's in a little town called Darwen in Lancashire in the late eighties and remember coming out of class one day to watch Fred climb the India mill chimney which towers over anything in Darwen,straight up,no harness,nothing. Don't make folk like that anymore unfortunately.

that staging was 5 layers spaced 5 to 6 feet apart been there 3month already 3ft a day roughly removed already 318ft tall when started 106 days to do probably when he gets lower to ground he might burn it down to save time in a more controllable area height wise might fell it in 50 /60 days or less.
