Comments on: A Survey Of The Whitechapel Bell Foundry https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/06/27/a-survey-of-the-whitechapel-bell-foundry/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Thu, 27 Jun 2019 18:37:36 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Di Corry https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/06/27/a-survey-of-the-whitechapel-bell-foundry/#comment-1294994 Thu, 27 Jun 2019 18:37:36 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=175307#comment-1294994 I do hope the Tower Hamlets Planning Department have been sent a copy of this video?
If not, any chance of showing it at the meeting when they discuss the future of The Bell Foundry?
How can a ‘Boutique Hotel’ be of more value to the area and indeed to London …..than utilising that historic building for those working craftsmen/women and apprentices so willing to bring their amazing skills to Whitechapel?

Whatever you’ve got… Aileen Reid, Survey of London.

Here on the Isle of Wight a new aircraft museum is opening at Sandown Airport,this will not only show what has been achieved on the Island but sadly also what skills have been lost. The Bell Foundry must be saved.
