© Whitechapel Bell Foundry in East London was founded in 1420. This was the foundry that made the Liberty Bell and Big Ben in the tower of the Houses of Parliament. I visited the foundry several times in the mid-1990s. At that time there were only two remaining bell foundries in Britain.
© The Whitechapel Bell Foundry made bells for many of the churches around Britain, including St Andrew's & St George's church at the east end of George Street, Edinburgh. After hanging in the church steeple for over two centuries, the bells were removed in September 2003 and returned to the Whitechapel Bell Foundry for retuning and restoration.
