Considring the breadth and depth of the history that the bells of this foundry relate to it ought to be constituted as a living museum, if not a working facility.

Has the Victoria & Albert Museum been consulted/approached. Surely it is a museum-quality artefact?

I have sent an email to the planning council objecting to the demolition of the foundry. Being from the United States, I’m not sure how much it will help, but I thought they should know that many of us seek out churches with change ringing each time we visit, and how tragic it would be to lose the Whitechapel Bell Foundry. I hope it helps.

Thought provoking words paying homage to the history of the Foundry.
Let us hope that the Tower Hamlets Planning Committee are deluged with objections as a result of the GA’s inspiring blogs spreading the word.

Look at the magnificence of the foundry and what we are losing. Thank you for the photos and the reflective verse that will hopefully make the council think again

I love this, a fitting tribute to the breadth and importance of the work of the little foundry in Whitechapel reaching over centuries (and we fervently hope for centuries to come)

‘X’ moved me to tears; I have known people who were there that night.

Thank you Dan.

Beautiful stuff which I hope will inspire even more people to send in their objections…
