| 26/01/2024 | 1: cast year amended [George Dawson gives a reference to The Hobarton Mercury, 21 December 1855, page 2 (an Australian newspaper). The relevant snippet of news reads: A cast-steel bell, weighing five cwt., has been placed in the tower of St Matthew's new church, in Sheffield. It was cast by Messrs Naylor, Vickers and Co., of Millsands Works, Sheffield, and is considerably cheaper than the ordinary bell metal via Bill Hibbert #006375] |
