Brilliant video. Reminds me of a late neighbour of mine I knew when I was 15years old,who would wear a flat cap, 2piece work clothes,a waist coat,and boots,and helped him clean bricks for the front wall he was rebuilding. Sad what happened to Fred's machinery and engine's.
I think Fred kept building hoping in the back of his mind ,maybe the buggers will preserve the bloody place after he gone...shame the man was a national treasure
Thank you for the video. I think I've seen all of Fred's videos then a gem like this pops up. It's always a joy to watch Fred at work with his mates. A true British pioneer. What made me laugh today when walking home was seeing 2 workmen on a BT mast with the ladder strapped to the post and the guys wearing climbing gear. This mast was only 25 or 30 feet up. Fred would have been up there fast.
@@eliotreader8220 never underestimate the shortsightedness of human greed my friend. How many nice things never got to be all due to one greedy bastard wanting to make a quick buck off other peoples hard work.
@@spoony01428 leon pownsey who had the house made it into a heritage centre ,decided to move shop sell tools at auction and sell things on Ebay claiming to be Freds old shirts beer cans etc . Pithead gone in back yard now but that gone to a Museum which is good at least .
joe GasKill at least it has a riving knife. Me mates grandads one was just a skilly screwed under a table. Took his thumb too, silly bugger. Scrapped it when he passed. Couldn't bear the thought of someone else coming to grief using it.

Councils find money to build mosques. They should have bought his house and steam engines and kept them there.
If work hard like our Fred in future you might get job maintaining roofs of those mosques : )
Councils are corrupt.
@@davekeating. only if he has the name Mohammed ;)
Thank you for giving us these videos. I am a fan of Fred since the first documentary.
He had to leave us much too soon RIP.
When Fred died the dream died with him fantastic we still have so many videos and pictures......
Great to watch unedited, thanks for posting Dave.

Should have kept all his set up the way he left it, it would have been a treasure for the future & now of course, RIP Fred,
If Fred's work shop had been returned to steam it would have been a great attraction in Bolton

its a shame that the whole lot couldnt have been bought for the nation, lost for ever now :(
all because of one mans greed
@@andyg3 what is the story with that?

@@laddersman it won't be going up and down again. does anyone know when Fred's living van was removed from the Garden
Such a shame most of what Fred built has been removed by the new owner.
i understand Fred's ladders went for 15 pounds or so.
i hope Fred's tools are being used to repair steam engines
1:42 I wonder if Fred was eating one of those famous meat pies...
Such pride in their work. It's beautiful to watch
its lovely seeing them having their lunch in the warm boiler room with wood fired boiler behind them
Smashing clips, Dave. Some interesting dialogue too. Thank you for uploading this and the others. Appreciate i!
I think this explains why his 3rd wife and son were left nowt
Old Natham is quoted as being "A fucking idiot he is" This is pure Fred gold telling things as are.
He kept building even when he knew he was dieing
That's the most dangerous table saw I've ever seen!! Lol,,love this guy

Thanks Dave lovely to see that.
Was intrigued by shape of teeth on winding gears . Will have to look that up.
Top fella and all his team along the way
So sad this whole entire shop is emptied of his treasures today. Why it wouldn't have been fully preserved is beyond me 😡
If he knew that he was going to lose every thing when he died maybe he wouldn't have work until the end.R.I.P.Fred.
Of course he knew he would lose it all, it was Freds ethos to work till the end.
@@robthesamplist i guess Fred wanted it that way
Sheila managed to get out of bed 😂😂😂
Think hes talking about his step son, Sheila's son.
Adam lee NO NO THE SON HE WAS TALKING ABOUT LAD.
