Guess the Place

What does admirer mean in English?
An admirer is a fan, supporter, or lover (one of these applies)

I'm flat out of usable photos.  Odd when you know the solution but can't understand the clue!

I'm with you MartingR - I'm not sure of the clue either.  I look forward to the reveal

That's some Drinks cooling system,Google isn't being friendly for me.

[Beachbum]

Google is your friend..........

[John Walker]

I'm fairly sure I know this one so will hold back.

Thanks MartinR, an intersting story from the past.

Next one: "Admirers?"

Bang on Beachbum.

If you search the forum's archives I think you'll find "A Ship in the Belfry" that I wrote a few years ago.  The Pittsburgh had run aground on rocks just off Libau, Latvia, and had punctured her double bottom in several places.  HMS Dauntless stood by to assist and was the relieved by USS Frederick.  The two American ships headed to Sheerness and eventually the Pittsburgh was brought up river to be dry-docked.

Over to you.

 One of the ten bells of Rochester Cathedral bell tower. The Dean and Chapter commissioned Gillett and Johnston of Croydon to recast the existing eight bells and to add two more in 1921. The recasting of this bell was funded by Captain Todd of USS Pitssburgh, thanking the dean for hospitality events during the two and a half months that Pittsburgh was in dry dock at Chatham (Chatham News 17 December 1920).

I know this and remember it from the old forum. I'll hold my peace because I don't have a photo to put up.

[MartinR]

Time for a clue: It took the Romans two days to cross the river near here.

Location and Explanation ready to post if the GTP drags on too long.

[John Walker]

I've managed to track it down.  Very interesting MartinR.
I'll hold back as I've only just had a GTP.

[MartinR]

I think I may have put this one up in the old forum.  Anyhow, it's obviously a bell, but a careful examination will reveal an unusual inscription cast into it.  Bragging rights if you can locate it, but full prize only if you can explain the inscription.

I've been a bit busy today.  I'll look out a photo tomorrow.
