Comments on: Whitechapel Bell Foundry Meeting https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/09/01/whitechapel-bell-foundry-meeting/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sat, 07 Sep 2019 19:26:42 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Jennnnnn https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/09/01/whitechapel-bell-foundry-meeting/#comment-1311192 Sat, 07 Sep 2019 19:26:42 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=176517#comment-1311192 I worked on Brick Lane for a few years but currently do not and live in west London now 🙁 So I guess my one will not count. I think it should because I still live in London and visit east London often. I’d visit the boundary to buy some gifts and did the tour one weekend years ago. I would love to see it turned into a working museum and gift shop selling bells and bell-souvenirs. It’s not often you can bring back to your family outside the UK to give them something truly made in England with some history to it.

Not only do the good people of London benefit when treasures such as this are saved, the entire world does too. Thanks to all of you who work tirelessly to preserve the very things that make London uniquely London.

I was sad to read that the Loughborough Bell Foundry is struggling too. I hope that you get the signatures from the locals, and good attendance at the meeting.

I hope that Schrodinger – or should that be Schroding-donger – has signed the petition…

not least how many have toured the premises.

Well done once more for gaining such a great international response to save our capital city’s heart and soul.

There must be so many other suitable sites for a hotel but nothing else purpose made for bell making. Let us hope the authority sees reason.
