Ever wondered what happened to the woman who once shared her life with a man who defied gravity and captured the nation's imagination? Alison Dibnah, the first wife of the legendary steeplejack Fred Dibnah, remains a figure of intrigue, her story woven into the fabric of a bygone era of industrial grit and television stardom.
While Fred Dibnah's exploits atop towering chimneys are well-documented, the life of Alison, his first wife, has been lived more quietly, away from the spotlight. Her relationship with Fred, a man as comfortable scaling a Victorian mill as he was tinkering with steam engines, began in a manner as unconventional as Dibnah himself. Legend has it that Fred first spotted Alison from the dizzying heights of a chimney, and fate intervened when she walked into the pub where he was enjoying a pint. With characteristic directness, he asked her out, setting in motion a relationship that would be marked by both affection and eventual heartbreak. Alison Dibnah is, indeed, still alive, though her life partner, Fred, passed away in November 2004, after a battle with bladder cancer, at the age of 66. While Fred Dibnah's on-screen persona was that of a jovial, mechanically-minded enthusiast, behind the scenes, his personal life was far more complex.
