A quality brand new hardback book which chronicles in words and monochrome and colour photographs a great many of the 90 factory chimney demolition jobs that was carried out by the famous Bolton Master Steeplejack, Fred Dibnah M.B.E.
The author Alan McEwen is a renowned consultant boiler engineer, industrial historian and writer, and was one of Fred’s closest friends for almost 25 years. Alan attended a significant number of Fred’s chimney demolition jobs, and regularly assisted with the art of building the massive bonfires that Fred cleverly engineered for the destruction of the gigantic 200 feet tall cotton mill chimney stacks. He was therefore, at the heart of this amazing and ofttimes highly dangerous demolition work, which has enabled him to write passionately and correctly regarding his long time, famous friend, Fred Dibnah’s dramatic chimney drops.
FRED DIBNAH’S CHIMNEY DROPS is chock full of wonderfully exciting and evocative stories covering Fred’s chimney demolition projects all over the North West…………… and the pictures, the majority taken by the author himself are historically important documents that dramatically portray Fred Dibnah at the height of his long career as a Master Steeplejack and Chimney Demolition Expert.
FRED DIBNAH’S CHIMNEY DROPS is simply a must for industrial historians and not least for Fred Dibnah fans everywhere
