You can still see the chimney he built on his mother's house. I think it's now protected by the council. It's just off the A666 at BurndenMy favorite tale was about rebuilding the chimney stack on the street house, possibly when he still lived with his mother. It was quite ornate and a fair bit higher than the original. The updraft was fantastic he said, and if you sat too close to the hearth it would suck your slippers off
