A Piece Of Salisbury's History Moves On








Today, the Bell on top of Station 16 that was originally cast in 1914 was removed from the Tower and placed on a tractor trailer. The 1,500 pound Bell is on its way to Westminster Maryland to be refurbished and should return in about 30 days to be set back down in its final resting place in front of the New Station 16 on the West Side of Salisbury.

Back in the day, this Bell originally was in the original Fire Station on Rt. 50 and then relocated to Station 16 on Division Street. There were several Fire Fighters there watching with anticipation of seeing this thing up close once it had been brought to ground level.

Another day in the History of Salisbury.

    Look!!! There is the Baldheaded Troll peeking around that bell.

    I guess the bell is going to be placed in front of the David B. See Memorial Firehouse.

    The bell is going with the firehouse. The firehouse is moving hence the bell is moving. The bell has moved from its orginal home at the old firehouse on W Church st, to S.division St firehouse, and now its moving to the new firehouse on cypress st.
