Fred Dibnah was a workingclass hero. His affable manner and talent for telling a story were just two of the reasons for his incredible popularity. Whether toppling giant chimneys or restoring vintage steam vehicles, he made himself legendary.
Nobody was prouder of Fred than the people of Bolton, and here we see the citizens of his home town gather to pay tribute to this remarkable man who died November 6th 2004 .
