    I'm from Ireland and I some how came across this on u tube I watched every video shamefully I never heard of this man until now. I can't explain my feelings for this man only to say for the last few weeks all I think about is him and wish I had him as my dad . He really was salt of the earth and a real English man . I cried looking at some of the videos I really wish he was still around .. Rest in peace fred Dibnah. Ps can anyone tell me where I can visit the house it's on my wish list .

      Adrian Geraghty Hi Adrian. Thanks for the comment. There are loads of Fred videos on CZcams..which is great! His house and yard is sadly now being sold of bit by bit by the current owner. You can still spend a night there and sleep in Fred's former bedroom. Check out the Fred Dibnah Heritage Centre on either facebook or the website and all the details are there for you.

      How about this for coincidence? He mentioned struggling with a chimney in Burscough (where I was born) and finding 2 steam roller falks in Dewsbury (where I now live). RIP Fred Dibnah- a complete one off!
