I've been resisting opening a beer all day, but Fred's face as he took his first gulp from his second pint pushed me over the edge.
Crack on lad! 🍻
Enjoy
As an Irish Dibnah fan, it gives me no greater pleasure to know that Guinness was his preferred tipple [Edit: He practically ran on the stuff, not just "preferred" :)]
@@garethm3242 As an English Guinness lover, it gives me no pleasure to say that Guinness over here isn't the same drink as it is in Ireland. Even the short trip over the Irish sea to Liverpool is too far... And I did enjoy a few pints of Smithwicks over in Ireland, I've never seen that here either. 😒
What part of the pool are you from. I'm from Knowsley.
As a North of England bloke - It messes with my head (in a good way!!) watching two Southern Americans watching Fred's road trip around my "patch" of the world. This is the best thing about the internet (or T'inernet as Fred would say!) - it gives us all a view of the world we would never otherwise know of! - hope you continue to enjoy this series!
As a North of England bloke myself - I know exactly what you mean! Messes with my head too..!
Once upon a time the whole of the UK ran on coal and steam. thus the Industrial revolution happened here first. Thanks for looking at this TV programme. Fred Dibnah will never be forgotten RIP.
You could argue for the Charcoal burning for early iron works .
In my childhood I was aware of Fred in the background but through you guys I am really discovering him. Thanks guys
This is superb. I' not seen this series for decades. Fred is an eccentric brit.
Please keep going. This is compulsive viewing.
I can't believe they haven't burnt or scalded themselves. I had a small Meccano steam engine as a kid and I was always scalding myself or brushing against the boiler.
Lancashire mining museum acquired Fred's pit headgear in 2020, they periodically start that big engine , only last week they had an open day
Thank you so much for sharing that!!!!! I wondered/worried about what happened to Fred's hobbies/tools/legacy. The state of his Bolton house sent shivers down my spine!
Enjoying your honest to goodness joyful faces, watching the Dibnah. You're obviously real wholesome men.
The last coal mine in the uk closed December 2015.
I am an ex miner, literally a dying breed.
as an ex coal miner from Derbyshire England there arent many of us left
I love Fred but I heard he found it hard to buy a round in the bub. Not a problem no one without unless you were a c^^t.
My phone keeps going on predictive. C**T
You’d love Guy Martin’s series “How Britain Worked” - and all of his other stuff
7:06 RIP Strangeways Pub. Thats about 20 minutes from me in Hindley. They knocked it down last year 🙁
It's honestly a tragedy how many pubs have closed in the last few years... a piece of British history dies each time
Pilkington Glass is a big company in the UK.
A Man among Men was our Fred and so for the men of his Time
The pub Fred stayed at is called the simms road inn and my local .I was in there having a drink the night that fred stayed .he,s exactly the same person of camers as he is on camers.still the same landlord in there as well.
This is such great sunday viewing
Ive been to the Astley colliery before, there's a nice pub nearby The Old Boat House
Thanks lads looking forward to the next one on the journey.
RIP Fred your legend lives on, awesome video guys .
I was very young when this fellah was on TV doing this. I can appreciate everything was old school back then an it's refreshing you guys like this and other RUclipsrs who watch him. Great vid lads as per 👏👍
You make me feel old.i was only 28 when this came out. I'm a fellow Dwyer as well from Liverpool.
Not all heros wear capes some wear flat caps !
I'm watching Fred's series on architecture at the moment. Fred made everything interesting. Fred was a true English gentleman. And the 1st thing an English gentleman learns is when to stop being one. Thanks for showing this lads. Thankfully, there's a few of Freds series for us to enjoy. Peace out.
Thanks guys for tuning into fred. Love your vids ❤❤
Enjoying these programmes very much. Thank you.
Love Fred
i live in wigan and all the mines are gone now and i have met Fred a few times he came on my work site to "borrow" some bags of plaster and roof tiles he was verry funny and interesting
I live close by to the open cast mine. Its now been filled and nature restored. The wildlife has returned and it is great for a walk. Foxes, deer can be seen in what was an eyesore to be fair.
"Did yer like that?"
Seems so, Brilliant guys thank you.
And agree, a beer and listening to Fred is a wonderful breathing moment in life :)
I'll say it again: Love that you guys are invested in Fred Dibnah stuff. I'm Irish (N ireland) and enjoy it, and even I - who spent a year in Northern England - have to really listen to the Lancashire banter between these guys to understand it. Can only imagine the thick Bolton dialect is a challenge for you 😄
Absolutely loving watching these. I watched them when they were first on to a very long time ago! I was born and grew up in the North West of England, 5 miles from Leigh one of the places they mentioned. Just love the accents - I now live down south and truly miss these ‘salt of the earth’ characters. So glad you love our Fred as much as we do. Love you guys too, your reactions are brilliant 👍
A big thanks to you guys for bringing back some great memories, the fantastic Fred, R.I.P. Mr Dibnah.
When Fred made this series he knew he was dying from lung cancer and wanted to make the series has a way to see and enjoy his love of all the things he loved most while he could. The man on screen is the man he was if you met him in the street.
The "rusting" Lancashire Boilers actually may be new, they needed an amount of oxidisation after manufacture to seal the gaps around the rivets on the plates. this was normal prior to commissioning in a new bolier.
Nice words. Absolute gem. From a Londoner. Proper geezer. ❤💪🙏
It is so entertaining as I grew up in that area. The first pub he went into was demolished in 2022 after being deralict for years
I've not seen this for a far while . I've got them all on dvd now when I found a batch of Fred dvds from his tv series over the years. Best 5 quid I've ever spent.
I use to live in St Helen's from 2003 to 05. I'm gutted I never seen Fred pass through that day in 04. I would have loved to get his autograph.
I found the perfect job when I went to my local job center.
It's for a Rail Operative. I be working with a team repairing train lines. A very Dibnar sort of job. I've got to do my 7 week training and qualifications end of July. Very good money. Roll on August.
Great video lads 👏🔧
Fred would be so proud that two guys from the USA were in to his work
This journey reminds me of when I lived on my canal boat. 7 locks and 3 hours of chugging along. 20 minutes walk back to get the car.
I have freds book its great he was a clever man might not sound it but a legend
Coming up later in a future episode, is a Road Sign you are ‘very’ familiar with! You will know it when you see it!
As someone who drives on Bolton's roads daily I must shout out to the Editors of this series removing the what I expect to be hundreds of hours of footage of motorists swearing at Fred for blocking traffic.
What happed to drink driving? God bless 'em? Thank God they never killed anyone. Thanks for the laughs and more important the knowledge. ❤💪🙏
Fred actually has one of those boiler fronts complete with gauges ect built in to his kitchen wall. ( Inside )
this one is all around where I grew up
Don't think Karl's related to the family that founded Pilkington Glass, the UKs largest glass manufacturer. Jars, bottles, car windows, if it's made of glass odds are it's made by Pilkingtons'. Incidentally, I've had a pint or two in that pub in Billinge. I was a regular visitor to Crows Nest Farm. Owned at the time by McAlpines road paving division, bringing and taking road building plant. I've just looked it up on Google Maps, it's an industrial estate now.
I use to love seeing the view of the glass factory when I use to work in St Helen's Town Centre. I'd get there just after 7am and what a sight. At the end of my working week I use to pop into The George pub nit far from were I use to work before I got my bus home.
Hi guys it's not millings it's Billinge they are in, I was born and grew up there.loving your channel keep it up
Although the close proximity of iron ore and coal reserves helped launch the industrial revolution in Britain, the remaining coal is pretty much all a long way below the surface. Deep mining is so expensive compared to open cast or strip mining that it was actually cheaper to ship coal all the way from Australia than to use British coal.
This is great! Fred was amazing! Loved watching him, much missed, you don't get many like him nowadays.
Loved ep 1 and now ep 2 is also fantastic, Fred and his mates are the 'salt of the earth'. They are the people that built Great Britain from the industrial revolution and were the backbone of the whole country.
Another triumph for Spencer and Daniel, keep it going. Fred Dibnah was a natural entertainer and communicator as well as a brilliant engineer.
Who built Britain? Men like Fred built Britain.
2:15 'I'm knackered...' = 'I'm exhausted...'
Excellent programme and perfect presentation in your reaction. Thanks Guys
Awesome. I live in a small ex-mining village in the South Wales Valleys. The hearts were ripped out of these communities in the late 70s and early 80s. They lost the biggest employer and still haven't recovered 40 years on. The place is now a commuter village for Bridgend and Cardiff. This was repeated in every valley. Dozens and dozens of mines closed.
You guys have to realise you are looking at The Industrial Revolution, where artisan engineers in a small island in the eastern atlantic changed the world. Steam power. Cotton and wool mills. Trains. Steam hammers for foundries. And everything we take for granted now came from these beginnings.
I'm pretty sure at least 1 coal mine has reopened since this programme. Btw when northern ppl say tea they may well mean their dinner, not always means a cuppa tea.
Superb
The nation and the empire were built on the backs of men like Fred. Salt of the Earth. Imagine the kids today working with men like this....imagine asking him for a safe space! :D
"Riveting" viewing, I see what you did there ;)
Beer tokens ✔....... checklist complete.
It's not just about the engine for me, its about the instant fraternity of the men and their enthusiasm to help out.
Fred was highly intelligent, and incredibly knowledgeable... They don't make them like that anymore.
After this series, have a look at The Fred Dibnah Story, they are the first episodes made about him, all about him felling chimneys, family life, his first steam roller build, you will love them, what a LEGEND he was
Thermal efficiency for a steam engine is awful, just 8% and I wouldn't be surprised if Fred's traction engine is as little as 5% with all its leaks, so they're extremely fuel hungry, most petrol road cars are 20-35% and diesel up to 40%, F1 cars run at 50% efficiency. My Dad was a fireman for 7 years, which is the man on the footplate who shovels the coal into a steam engine, they'd shovel several tonnes of coal each day, he said it put muscles on his eyebrows! 🤣 In the village where I live they built the first ever water troughs in the world which would enable steam trains to fill up with water without stopping by scooping it up out of the troughs as they passed.
Speaking of coal mines, there was a (two part) documentary a few years back called "The Last Miners" about the last days and closing of the last deep coal mine in the UK, that followed them underground and whatnot, might be right up your street, was really well put together.
Yes Fred had a sence of Humour, most Brits do, but not as dry as Donalds! He looked after Fred as you will come to see, they would appear to have fall outs but it is only mutual respect and humour. FYI, it was not Henry Ford who inventer the assembly line, it was the Blacksmiths that originally made these Engines, the materials went in one end, they started with the boiler, and gradually added the next components and moved it along to the the next bay, with all the machiming of the parts carried out in the gallerise of the second floor. When we had a period of low employment in my youth, the running joke was all the jobs were in jepoardy, ewery one was looking at the map to find work.....!
its embarrassing that I only live a few mins away from Astley Green museum and Ive never been. Fred was cousin to my sons Gran.
i think its illegal for the general public to use a hydrant ,but we do anyway just be discreet lol ,and in UK theyre all underground and marked on a nearby wall with the yellow H symbol
It's actually illegal to take water from a fire hydrant basically it's theft. You can take from a water board hydrant but you must be registered and use a meter to show what you have taken so you can be charged.
You cant beat a bit of Fred
The Guy was a legend. I live in London, where if you said hello to someone in the street they'd probably stab you.
But the further North you go, the more friendly people are.
So if you do come to the UK, forget the tourist crap. There's so so much more.
Britain has still got millions of tons of coal that can be mined if its ever needed again, only problem is getting people to mine it as its a dirty, dark and unhealthy job.
The last miners song The Working Man says "never again will i go down under ground"
The flashing light on the back, does this thing have a fucking alternator lmfao, I hope so
now you know why at traction rallies they all arrive on trailers
Why is Britain great? Why did Britain win the war? what makes the country what it is? Men like Fred Dibnah thats why!
When britian was great
Not sure if it's been told to you, probably has...but you should watch the cleaner. Its Greg Davies playing a crime scene cleaner where he meets some interesting people lol.
Would Chuck Norris even of heard of traction engines, let alone been able to rebuild one? 😜
I watched this when it was first aired. What spoilt it for me was his dopey mate was given air time - he had as much knowledge as a locust's left bollock!
Currently there are no productive coal mines in the UK, a new one has been granted a license but is yet to produce coal. The environmentalists are apoplectic about it, they are trying to force the government to close it down. The labour party has said it will if it forms the next government.
That guys take on life has sadly been left behind in the vaults of history
Lots of coal mining towns in the UK are empty bored up homes now
It really goes to show just how intelligent people were 100/200 years ago. To build such a complex engine is beyond my understanding. Compare Fred's engine to the engine of a car.
Britain has 77 million ton's of coal that could be mined and their are 3 trillion ton's of coal buried under the north sea that could also be mined with a certain amount of difficulty of course
When Fred died , Britain died
It's weird watching you guys watch and listen to someone with the same accent as me. If anything I'm more broad than Fred. Try to translate this, it's related to Fred.... "Ne'er get bout im".
I don't think that's how green screens are supposed to work 🤡
Definitely Karl Pilkingtons ancestors were barony. Lords & Ladies.
