Comments on: The London Bell Foundry Lecture https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/11/25/the-london-bell-foundry-lecture/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Wed, 08 Feb 2023 12:40:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.4 By: Colin D.

So it may not surprise some that the Whitechapel Bell Foundry has an association with the Art Workers Guild, for in earlier days as Arthur Hughes (1832 – 1915) became the foundry manager in 1884 and took charge of operations in 1904, he became a member. Perhaps grandfather to Bill Hughes who gave lectures there (which I attended on one such occasion) : William Hughes – Bell founder, joined the Guild in 1966 as an Associate member. Such a welcome association it must be hoped shall be resumed.

The best possible outcome of this whole saga.

So glad the site will hopefully continue as a bell foundry. Kudos to all who fought for this outcome.
