Brinton's Bell
Located at Brinton's town centre factory, this bell summoned the Kidderminster volunteer fire brigade into action.
The bell became redundant in 1882 when a Ship's Whistle, known locally as "Brinton's Bull", was commissioned to provide a more audible fire alarm.
The Bell is now displayed on a wall in the Weaver's Wharf Shopping Centre in Kidderminster.
