Fred Dibnah's Industrial Age

Fred shifts his attention to the development of the iron and steel industries, starting with Ironbridge Gorge in Shropshire. He comes across a rolling mill which he remembers once operating in Bolton, tries his hand at chain making, and then it's eyes-on-stalks time as Fred drives the biggest steam rolling mill engine he has ever seen.
