From the crowdfunder site:
Quote:Fred's home and workyard was sadly left to go derelict after his untimely death, We have worked tirelessly to bring the site back to life, we have carried out a Major repair of Freds 50ft chimney and completely refurbished the stationary steam engine Fred intended to use to power the site, once we are back to steam this beaautiful engine will drive the whole site, machinery and all, there is one piece of the jigsaw missing, Fred's old boiler was beyond repair, so we need to raise the funds for a replacement reconditioned boiler to bring the amazing workyard of Dr Fred Dibnah MBE back to steam power so it will be the last remaining completely steam driven workyard left in the UK
