During the fair, at the Crooked Billet, adjoining to Market
Street Wharff, will be shewn
An ingenious piece of clock work, which, among other
curiosities, represents 8 men ringing 8 bells ringing, truly
round ringing and changes, much in imitation of ringing in
England, with two young men and a lady walking, the lady
turning head over heels like a mountebank, and the clock
drawing a curtain, and firing a pistol; likewise a Tower
and steeple, with 8 bells, true round ringing and changes,
also a wooden image that blows a bellows, strikes fire,
lights a candle, and fires a gun. The like of this never
heard of in England. The whole put into better order than
ever before.
Price 6d. to men and women, 3d. to children.
