Has anyone heard the hourly chime of bell near to Barnsley Road? It has been chiming on the hour, every hour from 8am until 8/9pm every day for about 4 months now. It sounds beautiful and makes me feel like I live in a quaint village rather than in a busy city. I would like to know where abouts it is coming from; possibly the norther general clock tower or maybe st cuthberts church. Does anyone know?

It's the newly restored clock in the clocktower at the Northern General Hospital.
Anyone interested on old architecture would enjoy a look at the restored brickwork of the Victorian clocktower building .
The old building now houses only offices.

Thanks for that Daven. I'll have to go and take a look at the rennovation works :-)
