Its no wonder Andrew that they sound as bad as they do, the wheel on the left looks buckled.,

Thank you Andrew for a view few people have seen.
No, not buckled. Look a little farther and you will see other "buckling" owing to the lens used.
Excellent once again Andrew.
that's a great picture!!I like how the light is coming in .
Are we seeing the use of HDR here Andrew?
Great pic Thomaso
Any bats in residence!! LOL
Thanks folks:-)
Tommy, no HDR used - just a very long exposure and a bit of help from the light from my phone.
Superimposed!
Garry - it isn't. It's a straight shot that you are so fond of.
Well done Andrew lad.

Don`t like your photo Andrew - too `distorted`
I know what you mean, Ernest! Unfortunately the only way I could get the whole view was with a fisheye lens which does indeed distort the view. Having said that, it was going dark with little light in there and there may be another viewpoint that I couldn't see at the time - I'll have a look later in the summer and report back!
Thanks for that Andrew; are we going to have a summer though!
The bells have not been used for years i was told when working on the copper roof in the sixties it is a recorded sound.
Dave, thankfully, the bells are used very week!
