I finally got around to finishing the installation of the bellpull mechanism today. September weekend holiday and the weather was vile, so a good opportunity to get it done. The flat has had a horrid dingdong "Avon calling" type chime although the bellpush was the original brass one, ever since Ally bought the flat in early 1980s. However we now have a nice bellpull, which says "Waste" on it, just to confuse the unwary.


It now has a brass pull, huge wooden pulley and makes a pleasant tinkly sound from a small brass goat bell.
