    He lived in the old Toll house on Radcliffe road. Single storey at front, three at back into a dip. Down there he had a working mine pithead. He wanted to actually dig a proper mine but Bolton Council stopped him. He was well miffed.

    Don't think his ex-wives were too keen on him!

    That looks like it was filmed by a drone, and quite well too.

    A couple of my mates went to Uni in Bolton when Fred was alive; turned up unannounced at his house and asked if they could have a look round (They were doing Mech.Eng). Said he took them round his garden/workshops and was proper friendly, and made them both a brew etc.

    The country lost a great character when he sadly passed away.

    Oooops.
    A fellow Boltonian.

    Not the most popular if you happened to get stuck behind his steam roller on Bury New Road at 5mph......
