During the fair, at the Crooked-Billet adjoining to the
Market-Street Wharff, will be shewn, an ingenious piece of
clock work, which among many other curiosities, represents
eight men, ringing eight bells, 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 mountibank, and the clock drawing a curtain,
and firing a pistol. Likewise a tower and steeple, eights
bells true round ringing and changes. Also a wooden image
that blows a bellows, strikes fire, lights a candle and
fires off a gun: The like of this never heard of in
England; and the whole put into better order than ever.
Price to men and women six pence, to children three pence.
