Recently donated doorbell.
More and more articles, stories and artifacts are finding their way back to Willow Court. The most recent is this doorbell, which was located on Carlton House or C Ward. The person who supplied this prefered to stay anonymous, but stated that there was many of these and that each ward had one. As there were many trades people on site they were build at Willow Court. The wooden box contained batteries with the bell on the outside. Not much is known about these and we would be interested to know more and if there were any stories attached that would be good. I could just imagine the local kids ringing and running, or was that just me?
Anyone interested in donating items can contact members of the Friends of Willow Court. I will supply contact details via email. Dont forget that we are now in possession of two artifact lists, so will monitor the listing of all things donated or loaned and would have no issue with involving police should something go missing.
Please be aware that there are a number of people/groups out there seeking donations, some for themselves and others are holding items but have not forwarded those entrusted items to be recorded within the collection.
