Ladies & Gentlemen, to learn the future of the former Whitechapel Bell Foundry, please follow the London Bell Foundry @thelondonbellf
We are so proud of the first bell we have made, a collaboration with Sir Grayson Perry @Alan_Measles THE COVID BELL, to be rung in remembrance of those who died and in celebration of those who survived

It's disgusting that this is happening, being allowed to happen. Criminal damage by the developers @thegentleauthor
The developers slapped beige paint on the Whitechapel Bell Foundry to cover up the graffiti and obliterated the 19th century woodgraining. It is painful to witness this decay, when @thelondonbellf are offering to buy it to cast bells again and cherish the historic buildings.

Oh dear, what vandalism . Woodgraining is difficult to do properly and a vital part of this beloved old building.

Did they have listed building consent for this vandalism?

Whitechapel bore the bells that rang out across cities like Canterbury, London, Lincoln, Liverpool and Washington DC. So sad to see it in this state.

@TowerHamletsNow sold the site ignoring consultations, thousands of people who disagreed with the closure but most shockingly @TowerHamletsNow and its councillors erased the borough's rich history , (a tiny space) for greed! BUY IT BACK @TowerHamletsNow BUY IT BACK

Please support our friends @DennisSeversHse !
If you love the magic of open fires at Dennis Severs’ House, please help us repair our chimneys. After three centuries, the soot encrusted brick work is decaying and now we need to raise at least Β£50,000 to line them. crowdfunder.co.uk/p/support-…

This is so sad. JB visited the foundry and the bell design on the cover of β€˜Summoned by Bells’ came from bells at the foundry.
It is painful to witness the desecration and decay of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, especially when we want to buy it to start casting bells again and cherish the historic buildings

I work right next to it. Would love to see it bought back to life. So much history in one place. Creating the sound that made things happen and stop in daily life πŸ””
