[Bell Historians] Runcorn Bridge Bell

[Mike Chester mikechester@hotmail.com [bellhistorians]]

Seems to be in remarkably good condition, given where it was located and that it is a steel bell

Below is a link to the removal of the Navigation Fog Bell from Runcorn Bridge (aka Aethelfleda Bridge or Britannia Bridge), though it is about 1½ minutes before anything interesting happens. The founders’ name can be clearly seen.



It is now on display at the Brindley Theatre, Runcorn.  There is a short article on the bell, its history and the removal on p.246of the September 2019 edition (vol 9, no 6) of the L&NWR Society Journal.
