Glad you enjoyed my website! I took all the video's up there on a special day
when you're given the rare opportunity to look around the bells while they are ringing. It is a very dangerous thing to do - clappers from the bells have
been known to fly off before now and one embedded itself in the workman's hut that used to be there!
I've been up church towers since I was about 6
months old and used to the sound of them but we did a sound measurement a few years back. Ringing chamber came to about 70db and all the 12 bells at full
chat got it up to about 110db. I think you can start to damage your hearing at about 120db but anything more than a few mins up there and it's like being in
a nightclub all night! An utterly fantastic sound they make, but very poor accoustics outside the tower make them sound like a fart in a gale. Great George
(the 14 ton bell) that is hung dead (fixed and doesn't move) is hit by a clapper on the inside - the clapper alone is around 1 ton and it makes an amazing
sound. On a foggy day outside, you can actually see the fog around the tower move!
Is it also true that when you get out of the first lift to cross to the second that there is a hole that
looks downwards from the roof?
In the early 1970s, the view of Everton was fantastic. It was full of high rises on the hill and looked like a
mini Manhatten. Literally. I have seen no photos from the top from that period.

Sort of - ish lol. When you come out of the first lift, you are over the arches of the 'arms' of the Cathedral - basically where the font is and the shop and the like. From here you walk through a narrow corridor until you come to a set of steps and can either head out on to the side roof or carry on up the stairs. At this point, but very rarely unlocked, you can open the door to view the central space around the gallery but you really do need a good head for heights at this point!!!Quote:
