Talk:Beccles bell tower
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Notability?
In the flat area of East Anglia known as the Norfolk Broads, the Beccles bell tower can be seen from locations twenty miles in every direction. The tower is five hundred years old. True, it isn't 110 storeys tall; it doesn't have a revolving restaurant (complete with tropical-fish aquarium) at the top; it isn't sponsored by some American corporate behemoth for its "naming rights"; it doesn't have a flashing neon advertising sign; it doesn't even have a nightly fireworks display. By American standards, the bell tower at Beccles doesn't amount to much. Nonetheless, I'm guessing that the bell tower will be standing long after ...
Clearly, space in Wikipedia is precious. Space is needed for every three-chord garage band on the planet. Space is needed for every Japanese manga and anime character ever conceived.
