<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Yes, this is indeed Houndsditch Warehouse, and as
far as I can see the main road in front is Houndsditch itself, which runs
roughly from Aldgate to Spitalfields.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>As Dickon's site shows, the front nine bells were
cast for various locations in 1931-2. The three largest were cast specifically
for Houndsditch at the end of 1933. The bells were is a recess behind an
elaborate ornamental grille at first-flloor window level, on the
Houndsditch front of the building; originally, they sounded in connection
with the clock on the corner. As the image Mike sent was dated 1933 it is
possible that the bells had not yet arrived; but that is where they were
(certainly not on the roof as A. W. suggests). They were very visible from the
street, though I never heard them; in fact the received wisdom was that they had
never been re-started since the WW2 ban.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I was pleased to be taken some years
ago by Dickon to see the arrangement illustrated in Lovesguide, and I
am a little disturbed to hear that this attractive feature is again apparently
on its travels. </FONT></DIV>

<P>which says it is "Back Gravel Lane" and an exact copy of it as the "Stoney
Lane Elevation"</P>
<P><BR></P>
<P>The style of the building is very similar in both photographs, but the
clock is different. Were the bells not on this corner, perhaps?</P>
