[Bell Historians] Ships bells

[Peter Rivet]

John Mills of 509 Shields Road, Newcastle upon Tyne cast ships bells, or were doing so as recently as the 1970s : https://www.businessmagnet.co.uk/company/johnmillssonnewcastleltd-104131.htm

 

They are a very long established firm and in the mid/late 19th century they cast a few church bells as well, for example at Ellingham (1864) and Doddington (1865) in Northumberland.  According to correspondence I had with them they also used to cast things like brass lecterns.
