The Website of this shopping mall has no photos of the facility.

The Wikipedia article about this mall has a section about the Edmonton Court Clock; the bells are visible in a clickable photo, but are barely mentioned in the text.

An article on the history of the City Hall clock, and how it came to Portage Place, mentions the original clock bell and the present bells.

A blog article describes the old Seth Thomas clock and its former home; some photos include the bells.  The link "More photos of the clock" at the end of the article leads to a huge photo page in which the bells appear several times.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Eijsbouts bellfoundry, in this region and in the world.
