I shall share this so you can all suffer.
The "Liberty Bell" in Philadelphia is an American icon. It's famed for its enormous crack.
Now you can all hum the Monty Python theme all night with me. It's Sousa's march "Liberty Bell"!

Beg pardon Matty: never noticed you before, probably because your spheres of interest rarely overlap mine. I _did_ notice your NZ address though, hence my suggestion that any advice to contact UK firms with a view to visiting wouldn't be a lot of use. (I wasn't underestimating him Dave: I wasn't making any judgement at all.)

I thought of trains pulled by steam engines.
OT: Anyone see the Russian film Andrei Rublev? A classic, IMO. It ends with the casting of an enormous bell.
No offence taken John. The group has been fascinated with his projects.

I thought about trams :-)

Like many New Zealanders I'm keen on d-i-y. A hundred years ago, spare parts from Britain took months to arrive, so my ancestors fabricated them instead. My father went through the depression of the 1930s and had no money to pay tradesmen. I've carried on and do almost everything myself. I'm possibly slower than some tradesmen but I have the time to do things properly. Now I have access to a good workshop, with lots of unusual projects to restore old machinery. Since the UK has a much bigger population than NZ, it's more likely that UK people wil be able to suggest solutions to problems.
Just the sort of philosophy you expect from people brought up with Hobbits all around ;-)

Isn't that the movie that's going to be filmed in Ireland? :(
"Hobbit shooting starts" the headline said...
Oh is it open season on Hobbits?
I'll get me Purdey...
