@thegentleauthor @thelondonbellf We need an overhaul of the heritage management system in this country, including powers to compel an owner to sell if they aren’t willing/able to protect historic fabric adequately. Let’s please have a concerted campaign so that we don’t have to fight these individual battles!
The London Bell Foundry retweeted
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.
The London Bell Foundry retweeted
Visiting the Leaning Tower at Nevyansk I discovered a surprising connection with a certain English bellfounder, Richard Phelps - master of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in the 18th century and best known for his bell, Great Tom, found in the steeple of St Paul's Cathedral 🔔

The oldest object in our #handbells exhibition is a bell made by the Cor family around 1700! With items from #WhitechapelBellFoundry and US makers @SchulmerichBell and #MalmarkBells, it helps to show the work that goes into making tuned handbells @thelondonbellf @HRGBNational

The Whitechapel Bell Foundry is enduring a sad and graffiti-covered reality. @thelondonbellf is still trying to ensure that bells are made again in Whitechapel! dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
Historic Whitechapel Bell Foundry is vandalised with graffiti mol.im/a/12331051 via @MailOnline
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
