Fred Dibnah's work revisited, Bancroft Mill chimney at Barnoldswick

Mr H says goodbye to his 40;s as he visits Barnoldswick on the Lancashire Yorkshire border to take a look at one of the late Steeplejack Fred Dibnah's favorite industrial heritage sites 'The Bancroft Mill Engine Museum' and it's iconic 124ft chimney that Fred had worked on and managed to convince his third wife Shelia to have a go at climbing with him back in 1999.

    Last week-end was a Fred binge watch. Avec home brew. Fred visited the Crossness pumping station at the southern, outfall end of the then newly constructed London sewerage system. The largest beam engine at that time. The four cylinders were named after Q. Victoria's kids. There's a great doc called the Great Stink. Well worth a watch imo. The architecture and internal decor is fitting as the bulk of the sewerage system, being underground, can't be seen. Thanks, pal. Proper Norf. 💪

    Sheila climbed many of the chimneys in that time. Theres a story by fred when a camera man followed them up and he was green 😂 sheila took the camera and the guy lay down on the scaffolding at the top to compose himself. Good old stories. Keep up the good work fella. Good wishes from scotland ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
