Well what else would you expect! First, I found the bell. Then I found a blacksmith in Yorkshire ( Nigel Tyas ) to make the fittings. Now on arrival at the front door you pull down the rod and the bell rings out just as it first did long ago.

Fido,
I was looking for someone who had set up a servant's bell as a front doorbell - and up popped your site. Thanks for the info and the pic - I shall now go looking for all the bits and try to put one together!
During early life I was known as Fido - so I use that as my internet identity where I can. I am a retired Local Government man who now enjoys a variety of interests. In these blogs I hope to share some of them with anyone with a shared sense of humour who may come across them. But they are mainly for my own interest as a reminder of some of the things I have done in my retirement.
This is one of them.
