[Bell Historians] Clock Chime Queries

[Carl S Zimmerman]

The bells came from Petit & Fritsen, and they were installed in 1973.  From what I can see in Google Streetview, the building has been redeveloped leaving no place for the bells, so "in storage" sounds reasonable.

 Whilst on the subject of Gloucester, does anybody know anything about the small chime of 12 which used to be in the Eastgate Shopping Centre? I remember seeing them hung on a wall many moons ago, and they used to be listed in Dove as a chime. I did try to make enquiries a while back and was told that the bells were in storage.

For the Gloucester clock, all I can add is that I have a 1960s colour postcard of it and the caption says:
 
  

The Southgate Clock was built in 1904, with a set of five figures depicting England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales with Father Time in the centre who chimes the hour. The whole clock was made by Messrs. Niehus Bros. of Bristol, and the 5 bells together weigh about 2 cwt.
