[Bell Historians] More Pathe

[David Cawley]

The three bells in a row and the iron frame above suggests to me the old set-up at St Albans Cathedral. Of course, the whole lot is filmed upside down!

  The first sequences show three bells with wooden headstocks, short canons and ball bearings.  The fact that there are three bells in a row suggests a ten or twelve bell frame layout.  To the left there seems to be the bracing for a second tier of bells.  The later sequences show two bells hung above which look like products of the Whitechapel bell foundry.  A ten made into twelve?
