Audacious plans have been submitted to build a house inside a 260ft (80m) Victorian chimney that legendary steeplejack Fred Dibnah once ‘climbed for a bet’. An anonymous applicant hopes to turn the 160-year-old Barrow Bridge Chimney in Bolton, Greater Manchester, into a property within a 360 degree, glass structure. The grade-II listed building will have an elevator from the ground floor to the first floor, which will be 60ft in the air, according to plans submitted to the council. The futuristic property would also have a lounge area, three bedrooms and two bathrooms in what is thought would be the first house of its kind in the UK. Television personality Fred Dibnah is said to have climbed it to win ‘ten bob’ as a teenager and he later again to work on it as a steeplejack, taking down the top two levels of it.
