Whanganui Heritage Month

Carillion at Queen's Park Whanganui was installed in 1981 to mark the opening of the Farm Equipment Company's new Factory in Whanganui. The owners wanted to build a traditionally Dutch gift to the town.  The bells were constructed in the Netherlands.  The Carillion is equipped with eighteen bells and can be controlled manually by a keyboard housed inside the plinth, while it uses a hole punched plastic tape to play programmed melodies at least once an hour.
