Whitechapel Bell Foundry
The Whitechapel Bell Foundry is a bell foundry in Whitechapel in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, and is the oldest manufacturing company in Great Britain.〔("500 Years of History" ) Whitechapel Bell Foundry website, accessed 26 December 2013.〕 The foundry's main business is the bellfounding and manufacture of church bells and their fittings and accessories, although it also provides single tolling bells, carillon bells and handbells. The foundry is notable for being the original manufacturer of the Liberty Bell, a famous symbol of United States independence.
The foundry's premises are a Grade II

==Origins==
The company dates back to 1570. The present premises on Whitechapel Road and Plumbers Row dates from 1670 and was formerly a coaching inn called "The Artichoke" which ceased trading in 1738. The following year, the Whitechapel Bell Foundry moved in and occupied the site to the present day.〔Winn, p. 201.〕
