Well we all know what fred was like well we all got a little glimps in to his working life. And I personaly will be making a trip upto see his house and workshop soon I hope.
Its nice to see that many pepole think in the same way.
Well done to you all up there.
Thanks Leon, Alf, and Mark for a thoroughly enjoyable experience at todays heritage centre tour.
If you love anything about Fred his life, his passion, and are interested, as I am in Britain’s industrial age, the smell of wood burning, pitheads, boilers, steam, old machinery, some rusted, tales of Fred & Alf, then this is for you!
Watch the videos of Fred’s TV exploits then come along here, savour the atmosphere, and you’re transported back in time to a bygone age when coal & steam was king. You know, I’m sure I saw Fred in the corner of my eye stokeing his boiler! eeh Fred sit thi darwn an av a cuppa tay.
Your my hero Fred. Always will be!
