[Mark Regan]

I can undersatnd the need and intent to preserve anything which is special, historic, rare example or unique etc. Extending this to include a transitional and common piece of Victorian engineering is putting principle before 'being practical'. 

Why should the bells be hard? Or not as hard as they used to be?
