H Holden was Harry Holden . He was a Steepeljack when Fred Dibnah was a school boy. Fred said that he was a super steepeljack and he´s childhood hero. 🧱🔨⛏🪜Greetings from Finland.
Dibnah called it "Harry Holden's ledge." I believe Harry Holden was a fellow steeplejack of Fred's. The other two names therefore could be other steeplejacks.
the platforms arounds the sides of the Chimney were known to local steeplejacks as "Harry Holden's Ledge" and Fred Dibnah mentions in in the video of him climbing up this chimney after having put the ladders up himself, which it still baffles me how Fred laddered that chimney with those big overhangs, some of which come out 5ft from the walls of the chimney. crazy to think it cost £14,000 back in the day to build that chimney and it was built by steam power and a lot of hard working men.
The falcon was clearly spooked it looked your way graham camera never lies im merely stating clear facts you should know better than to take a drone up to nesting falcons it clearly looked your way the video clearly shows what happened im not saying yoyr a bad person or anything u do some wonderful work But taking a drone up near a nesting falcon is wrong you can clearly see the bird is spooked It would be decent of you to admit you were wrong @@grahamwoods9678
Oh my, I love birds particularly the peregrine. My youngest son when he was about 8 used to help Tony Warburton the naturalist at Muncaster Castle, who used to breed barn owls & release them into the wild. Tony took in an injured Peregrine one year and we were lucky enough to see him handle it close up. Amazing and so beautiful. They nested in the area in two secret locations in the area at that time.

@@TWD85 Thanks for that information TWD. Cheers Graham.
Likely they got up there at night when a steeplejack had left the chimney laddered during a few weeks of work on the chimney.

Used to spend hours loading my truck at Kenleys and the peregrines would simply grab a passing pigeon for lunch
