Great progress on bells 6 and 5

The 6th bell is now in place and the bearings bolted down. This enabled the bell to be raised by the wheel.

In the next pit, the 5th bell now has its wheel bolted onto the headstock. Once the alignment has been checked, it too will be bolted to the frame and ready for swinging up.

Both bells will then need their sliders and pulleys moving up by 85mm, the stays fitted followed by the rope and clapper.

Then onto the 4th which should be fairly straightforward. The difficult bells will be the 2nd and 3rd which will require some extra steelwork to tie the 1911 framework to the rest of the bellframe. There will be more on this when we get there...!
