| Description | Great Paul at Little Brickhill |
| Approx Date | 1882 |
| Full report | The Centenary of the bells of St. Paul's Cathedral (R.W., Nov.3) and the photo of Great George of Liverpool (page 982) prompted this photo (sent to us by Chris Pickford) of Great Paul on its way to London in May 1882. The photograph, writes Chris, was probably taken by Mr. Piggott of Leighton Buzzard at Little Brickhill, Bucks., on Thursday, May 18, 1882, and the Leighton Buzzard Observer reported that "the demand for copies soon taxed to the utmost the resources of the artist's studio". |
