. . ..::: General Information :::.. . .
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
was an English steeplejack, engineer and eccentric who became a television
personality, a cult figure and, latterly, a national institution.
Fred Dibnah's rough-hewn Lancastrian manner (and his ever-present flat cap)
belied his gentle, self-taught philosophical outlook.[5] He went on to write and
present a number of series, largely concerned with the Industrial Revolution and
its mechanical and architectural legacy.
* Steam enthusiast
Dibnah was also an enthusiastic steam fan and owned an Aveling & Porter traction
engine built in 1912 (Reg No: TA2436), and an Aveling & Porter Steam Roller
"Betsy", (Reg No: DM3079), built in 1910. This engine was initially named Alison
after his first wife, but after the breakdown of his marriage, he renamed the
engine Betsy after his mother, Dibnah's thinking being "Wives change but your
mother will always be your mother."
He also maintained a fully steam-powered workshop in his back yard utilising old
machines and tools otherwise destined for the scrapheap. On one occasion he
remarked he always had steam up in his garden.
In this series, Dibnah traces the development of steam power from the earliest
experiments in the ancient world to the modern nuclear power station in a new
six-part series.
