Dunny hows tricks pal?,iam in Blackpool now,been here since i last saw you,iam still messing with chimneys and stuff,still a mugs game hehe,i was talking to a guy a few years ago at st Catherines hospital on the Wirrel who said he was your brother in law,so i gave him my number to give you,he drove a waggon for a demo firm,hope your well and glad to see young Fred is still looking after you when your on the sauce ,keep in touch we'll organise a few pints,take care ,Tom

Where was the pic taken Tom. Another bit of surgery?

Parker international Dukinfield about 1995ish,it used to be the old wagon works i think,near the Globe pub and about 100yrds away from the gaffers office at the time,we couldnt hide anywhere,

Me mother was born in Dukinfield, that'd be one of her chimneys! Have a good Xmas....

Not doing to bad Tom!! Do you still see any of the lads? If you want, e-mail me your no etc (dunnymcfc@hotmail.co.uk) and we'll meet up for a slurp!!!!!

That sounds dangerous.......

I believe heading a football is now officially more dangerous than working at heights!!!!

Dont see anyone these days Dunny,i typed little davids name into a porn site but it said he'd been banned for harrassment ,ive sent you my numbers !!

I've not got any e-mail off you Tom?! I think you'll find the FBI would be looking for you if you typed little David and porn in the same sentence !!!!! Do you remember dropping priory mill in Droylsden? And, ' carry on to Oldham for the last couple of hours of the day!' Cheeky b*****d! Nearly killed! Take care, speak soon!

Dunny, you've reminded me of a friend of mine, a driver who finished early one day and his gaffer asked him if he couldn't find something to do. He said he wasn't in the habit of looking for work so his boss said 'You'd better start practising then". He went in the office and came out with his cards. Those were the days!

I'll send my number in a private message on here.....wondered why the helicopters were circling over the house when i typed his name in,,,,priory mill felling,still makes me laugh,haha,which boozer did we go to instead ,,,,Lily mills at Shaw was another good job ,shame we had to pay the money back hehe

Got your message Tom. I'm glad we got Lily Mills, because next stop was the Betty Ford clinic!!!!!!! Have you got any pics from Priory mill? Speak soon!

That last message should have read ' glad we got OFF Lily Mills' ! The way I put it, made it sound like an incureable illness!!!

HAHA!!Lily mills wasnt that bad,at least we had breakfast before we did one to the pub,,,the only pictures of priory mill are the 3 i got from the newspaper..

I know they needed to go but a falling stack always makes me sad, all that work lifting all those bricks up into the sky..... All right, I'm an old softy....

Just in case anyone popping in here thinks that Tom and his mates do nothing but knock mills and chimneys down, here's the new top on Ellenroad chimney at Peter Tatham and Tom built in 1987.

All the best for the new year chaps!!!!!

Same to you Dunny and many of them! (2013 is a good jack year so far... no wind or rain!)

Happy new year !!!
The chimney felling at Priory made Dunny and myself sad,Dunny was still hammering out and we was still underneath it in the second photo ,we went to the pub to console each other
Stanley was the picture when Brooke Edgleys biplane crashed into the top of the Ellenroad in the 90s

Tommy, I think you'll find terry designed it!!!!!!!!!!!!

hahaha,Dunny ,its different enough for Terry !!

Yes it was when they did the repoint, bands and oiling. But it was still your work on the drum. When Brooke Edgeley's man first laddered the stack he said that he'd like to meet the men who built the new head, he was most impressed. This from another jack is praise indeed.

"Shucks" ,Pete always insisted that jobs were done well,lots of effin and jeffin if they wasnt

Cue a Peter pic I think. Here he is on Ellenroad stack in 1986..



A good man and I still think it was the Capstan Full Strength that did for him.
