Frame modifications:
Frame 1: 1999 by John Taylor & Co
Pit D, containing bell 1/6, was lengthened by removing the timber frame-end and adding a replacement steel frame-end; bell 1/6 was shunted towards Pit E, containing bell 3/6 (now 5/8), creating room for bell 2/8 to be hung in the same pit mouth-to mouth with bell 1/6 (now 3/8). Pit C, containing bell 2/6 (now 4/8), was similarly lengthened to accommodate bell 1/8.
