Doorbells Outside the Chocolate Shop

There are fewer and fewer of these old doorbells around the city today. They have mostly been replaced by electric buzzers, leaving unsightly holes in the masonry where they have been removed.

I have a sweet tooth that is hard to control and so I like visiting this chocolate shop. Although it's not cheap, they offer irresistible free samples and always have good standbys for Mother's Day and the like. Perhaps the lady in the reflection will succumb to their chocolatey charms too..!
