This was taken recently using a drone, but unfortunately it’s not a great deal clearer than a shot I took from the ground with a long lens a while ago. I still can’t read it, although I think a few letters at the ends of the top and bottom lines are just about legible.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>It’s clearly a “badge” of the sort on the Bailey of Salford bell from Cotterstock (image also attached) – though not the same one. If anyone can provide any examples of this sort, then it might just be possible to identify the mark on the Leagrave bell (which, I would add, may well have come from far away rather than originating from the Luton area)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>All help welcome<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Thanks<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#5B9BD5;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Chris Pickford<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div>
