Downside Abbey

[George Dawson]

I have 2 photos of the Downside bell on the tuning machine, & 2 of the
bigger bell, one of which is the 'official' postcard & one of it about to be
hoisted up the tower.
The Downside bell can be distinguished by having two mulley grooves, whereas
the 1901 bell has one with decoration below.
 
Regards
 
George

I thought you had one of the bell in the foundry? It is shown with what I
assume to be the Beverley headstock, though the later bell is larger. The
headstock at Downside is not the same as that shown on the foundry snap.
 
I gave Matthew a print some years ago. I might still a spare that i can let
you have.

T he foundry one & the one outside Beverley would be useful as I'm writing
up CBER.

Several - what sort of angle? It's quite hard to photograph it in the tower.
I have some old ones of it in the foundry (Thanks to NOS), outside Beverley
Minster and also outside Downside. I have seen anothe of it being unlodaed
at Chilcompton Station in 1903, before being hauld over the fields using
horses and a large cart!
