EBSJ#15, & #16
Posted: 04 Jan 2011, 01:35
Here’s where the Google Street View facility comes in handy.
In EBSJ#16, there’s a one-pager (Ringing the Bells) about a Cornish hostelry with the name “Ring o’ Bells.” The writer, Andrew Carswell, probably took the picture.
This was in 2001 so I looked up the appropriate spot in Street-View and noted the differences. The shutters are gone (in the original photo each had the imprint of a bell in the middle). There are still flowers on both lower windows but not at each side of the entrance, and the overhead lamps are still there.
I tried bringing up Finniston Farm which features in a piece by Vanessa Tobin (EBSJ#15).
The picture in the Journal, described, as a “large walled farmhouse,” is a little indistinct so I’m not sure if I got the right place but in Golden Hill, Stourton Caundle I found what could be the inspiration. It appears to be the “Trooper Inn” with a stone wall in front that looks a little different from the one in the Journal. The original picture shows more chimneys as well – in fact, the roof has changed considerably over the years.

I searched for “Ringing the Bells” in the EBSJ index but couldn’t find it in the Title section, although it’s in the Authors part.
Over a period of time it might be helpful to expand the listing because it’s such a useful reference tool and Lenoir must have worked 24 hours a day to get it completed so promptly. Cross–referencing can be a pain with such a task because it’s often so difficult to decide on exact classifications.
There are several articles in EBSJ#16 and other editions that could be tricky to classify such as “Collecting is a Funny Old Game.” (Collections, Collecting, Enid Blyton Collectibles, Memorabilia, Figurines - and so on). It may simply be that I didn’t look in the right place although it “is” in the Author listing (Swadling).
“A Detailed Look at “Old Thatch” Series, “Enid Blyton Trust For Children,” and “Easter at Southernhay” seem to be missing from both sections but they’re untitled contributions. “Five (or rather, Two) find the Puffing Billy” is in the Author section only (Tobin).
Each title is listed in the Journal Catalogue on the site but not all are credited which could make it a little difficult when preparing a comprehensive list. I think Tony wrote the uncredited articles, so there’s modesty for you.
Once again - all the contributions “may” exist in both sections, but under headings that I didn’t think of at the time.
