Photographs in the Tony Clayton Collection

Tony Clayton has, over the years, amassed a large collection of photographs of bells, bell-frames, etc which originated at Taylors Bellfoundry. These have now been scanned into a computer and anyone wishing to obtain a copy of any individual picture should contact me. Similarly if you have an ‘official’ foundry photograph, I would be interested in a copy. 
Extra photographs have been added, including many from Gillett and Johnston of Croydon. I am indebted to Rev. David Cawley, Jim Hedgcock, Chris Pickford and Neil Skelton for their substantial contributions.
Thank you.
George A Dawson.  7.7.2013.
