Whitechapel Bell Foundry, Bell foundry in Tower Hamlets, England
The foundry occupies a Grade II* listed building featuring traditional manufacturing areas, metal casting facilities, and historical bell-making equipment and patterns.
From 1570 to 2017, this establishment manufactured numerous significant bells, including the Liberty Bell for Philadelphia and London's Big Ben at Westminster.
The manufacturing heritage spans centuries of British craftsmanship, representing continuous bell production techniques passed through generations of skilled metalworkers.
