Mid-Cheshire based
heritage transportation specialist photographer and feature writer Keith
Langston travelled extensively with Fred Dibnah during the filming of his last
TV series Made in Britain to record the event for Britain's best selling
transport and industrial heritage magazine Old Glory.
Following Fred's untimely death,
Keith embarked upon the creation of a book, drawing not only on his experiences
with the Bolton-born steeplejack and TV presenter, but in addition talking to a
representative cross section of those people who numbered themselves amongst
Fred's many friends.
The cumulative result is a 132-page special
publication with more than 150 unique pictures, many of which have been loaned
especially for use in the book by the Dibnah family and others.
The publication
commemorates the life and times of Fred, who many have rightly described as
having been a truly Great Briton.
