"To-days e-bay trawl has produced a 1906 postcard/Christmas Greetings 
card showing 8 bells, stated to be those of Beckenham parish church 
They are shown complete with headstocks, and have had the 
inscriptions picked out in white. 
Outside of my field of interest but a nice card nevertheless.

Would this be the same pic as one of those on
http://kent.lovesguide.com/beckenham.htm

These pics come from scans of some rather large prints that hang in the
tower. These were particularly interesting as we discovered that the
inscriptions that appear in the photograph are NOT the same as those on the
bells. It appears that errors in the original inscriptions were corrected
(by etching off and then engraving) at a later date, possibly 1952. The
pictures date from 1903.
