          Remember this bloke, how he survived is a mystery.
          One thing I dont think they ever showed was how he got all the ladders and boards etc. up there before starting work.

              Fred Dibnah - I wonder if he had life insurance?

                @pete Quick search on You Tube throws up a few videos showing the prep for the job.
                Remember back in those days lunch could well have been a couple of pints and a ham sandwich.

                Probably from a mill chimney nearby.
