Well done John in rescuing what is clearly an important bell. The bell is n=
icely shaped implying an experienced foundry - even if it was not a regular=
bell foundry. Quite likely Hicks Hargreaves after careful examination of s=
omeone elses's work. The flange head could be mistaken for Naylor, Vickers =
although the webs are of slightly different design. Maybe they did the roun=
ds before casting it.
A thoroughly worthwhile achievement.
