Demolition of last mill chimney on Chorley Old Road, Bolton, 1992
It was perhaps fitting that Fred Dibnah was the man brought in to topple the very last remaining mill chimney on Chorley Old Road, Bolton.
A large crowd gathered to watch this historic moment in October, 1992 as the huge chimney - the last of 14 which used to dominate the landscape in the area - came crashing down to earth.
