[Bell Historians] Flickr set

 Flickr's foundin_a_attic site has sets of anonymous pictures.  One of them seems to have a ringing provenance.  The set is called the-1872-set, and is on 13 pages beginning https://www.flickr.com/photos/foundin_a_attic/albums/72157686093540286/page1 I was first drawn to the picture img 136 on page 13, which has the undefinable air of a group of ringers..  The church is, as the surrounding pictures show, Christ Church Cathedral, Victoria BC.Sure enough there are pictures of some of the same people in a ringing chamber (surely too small for that Cathedral? the names on the blackboard may help) and ringing handbells in a living room at images 365-369 and larger groups in the same room at 370-371.  It does not look like a North American room. These are surrounded by pictures of a church which is surely Christ Church Calgary another ringing tower.  Then on page 9 there are pictures of Holy Rosary Cathedral, Vancouver, again a ringing tower.  Back on page 13, where we started, there are pictures of Mission City and at img 113 just possibly a visiing party suffering a lockout; and we move swiftly down from that to handbell ringing again - I almost missed it because of the size of the thumbnails - but we are already back in the UK, with small cars and red buses - and on the beach, perhaps in Cornwall. A high proportion of the churches in other pictures in the set have decent rings of bells, with many 12s shown. So this set appears to be from a ringer who went on a trip to Western Canada, perhaps in the early or mid 70s, and had friends who were keen enough to carry handbells in case of boredom on the beach.  I am sorry not to recognise any of them.  But somebody must, and it would be very nice to know. Mark
