Fred Dibnah's house for sale
Range Rover Blues:
Well if the national trust can buy a house in worksop just because it was never decorated for 60 years I fail to see why Fred's house can't be preserved for the nation.
Don't mind admitting I wish I had the money though.
muddyjlx:
i bet it gets pulled down though. :(
The Ant Hill Mob:
whoever buys it wouldn't dare pull it down. They'd get jumped on by steam enthusiasts and Dibnah fans before a bulldozer would be let near the place. As I recall, from the BBC article, *I think* it's listed.
I agree it all ought to be preserved for the nation. Where's loyalduke, let's see if he can twist NT's arm to get them to buy it. The beatles, pah, they were just some dudes who could play instruments. But the Dibnah, he was a legend in his own lifetime, never mind now he's dead.

Following email sent to national trust and english heritage:
--- Quote ---I today came across the report here that announces that Fred Dibnah's house, along with mineshaft and assorted machinery, is to be sold at auction.
Fred was involved in the restoration of many historical buildings and engineering sites and was a champion of the maintaining of historical methods of work.
I feel it befits a man of his standing for the national trust to consider bidding on his house with a view to maintaining his heritage as he maintained the heritage of those who went before him.
Your sincerely

Anyone else want to join in?
