It's Doctor Premnath's new surgery going up in Folkestone Road; walked past it on the way to Blakes today (and most days).

Are well there you are, but I will find out who done the steel work,looking at it i think I know but I will do by tomorrow. Most of the welding would have been done in the workshop numbers put on all the steel and then nut and bolt job on site,I have done many a job for Jenners in the pass.

correct roger, now an intriguing one - this bell is suspended by cable between two very tall poles somewhere in east kent.

It's on the harbour end of the old Rotunda site - a very strange idea !

"Norwegian artist Anne Katrine Dolven will install a disused 16th century tenor bell found discarded in a foundry, abandoned as it was out of tune. It will hang between two 20-metre-high steel beams placed 30 metres apart on the former Rotunda Amusement Park - now deserted - on Folkestone seafront close to the shore, and will have a specially cast manual handle allowing visitors to ring it. The out-of-tune bell reflects the Triennial's universal themes of difference and dislocation, as well as local concerns, such as the decline of the parish church in an increasingly urbanised society."
Been nice knowing you :)

I think they must have taken the church down and forgot the bell,now they can not reach it.
Well now we know.

rather interesting about the bell, can see the logic now but didn't see any plaque there or how to ring it, must be something to do with strange cargo.
rest assured if i had it would have kept me happy for hours.
now back to dover.

rather a difficult one, a clue is that it is in the priory area.
Somewhere around the station, immigration centre area is my guess

I keep looking at it Howard, but the gate and arch are not familiar - or don't spring to mind.

This is really bugging me Howard ( as so many of them do ! ) I hope someone gets it soon
