<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;color:black'>You will know that it is planned to remove the 10 G & J
bells from Hanley and reinstall at Stone Staffordshire. A Listed Building
Application to remove the bells is with Stoke on Trent City Council for the removal
of the bells but this has run into opposition from the City Conservation
Officer who has received objections from a number of local residents and also
the War Memorials Trust. 2 of the 10 bells were given as war memorials to those
from the Hanley area who died in the Great War. These 2 bells are listed as war
memorials<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;color:black'>It would help the Stone ringers if details could be given
for any other bells which are specifically war memorials. The local argument is
that bells are intended to be rung and are hardly a fitting memorial in their
present derelict state. Any useful suggestions would be appreciated!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
