>> More appealing tunes are forthcoming from Hull's 100-year-old
>> Guildhall, now nine new bells have been hung.

>> 
>> The largest of the nine weighs 2.5 tonnes and all have

>> The carillon will play three times a day between Monday and

Chris's list of big bells has Hull Guildhall, Hour Bell, 1865 Warner,
38cwt. Have they added a bigger 50cwt bell? I think I heard this
chime a few weeks ago whilst in Hull, but was some distance, so
couldn't locate where it had come from.
