It’s always fun to come across something with a link to another place with which you have a connection. A few years back, we found a painting in the Bath Maritime Museum, in Bath, Maine, of the Steelworks at Cyfarthfa in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, where my parents are from and very close to where my Dad went to school.
Today’s discovery was not quite so remarkable but it was still nice to find this bell in a cemetery in Portland, ME, from Troy, NY, near our old neck of the woods and close to where Exile #1 used to work. We assume it was an old firehouse bell, as it seemed to be next to the grave of a firefighter.
