It’s not everybody who has a coal mine in their back garden
– but then Fred Dibnah wasn’t everybody.
In a bold piece of living history Fred
decided one day to start sinking a shaft in his back garden and being Fred
that’s exactly what he did.
This is the full 60minute BBC documentary, plus
nearly two hours of extra footage.
The additional material shows Fred in full
swing planning his mine and working on the pit engine.
