London bell spotted in Eastern Anatolia

Just got back from two weeks in Eastern Anatolia looking at the various archaeological sights and trying to find clean food.  Climbed a bell tower in the castle of a town called Erzerum and found a bell hanging there. An inscription showed that it had been cast in London in 1877.  I wish I hadn’t deleted the other picture (which showed the company name – somewhere in Croydon as I recall), but I was running out  of space on my SD card and the Van cats needed to be kept. The inscription is visible if you enlarge the top of it (technical term needed).

Tasteful photo of Van cats - they are pure white with different colour eyes and enjoy swimming
