User / Doolallyally / Whitechapel Bell Foundry
Alison Day / 4,883 items
Here is Britain's oldest manufacturing company established in 1570 in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. It has been in continuous business since then and famously made the bells for Big Ben and the Liberty Bell in the US. Jack the Ripper would have walked past these premises on his grisly endeavours. The lashing rain when I photographed this just added to the atmosphere of the place. It's free to have a wander around inside and you can book a tour of the foundry.
Note: The foundry closed in May 2017.
