[Bell Historians] Help Re Bootle

[combineharvestersam]

Also, my dad (Graham Austin) has a recordingy of the Emmanual bells. 
They sound very mellow with lots of hum. They are now very sharp with 
no hum - the tower at Bootle doesn't do them any favours but I like 
them. 

Other recordings he has are the old Hale 6, and Prescot before they 
were tuned again. I will ask him if he has a recording of the old 
Bootle bells. Bell news in the 1890s contains lots of 720s and 
quarterpeals from Bootle, mostly of Plain bob, Kent and Oxford. I 
think they rang the first 720 of Oxford TB in Liverpool.
