Bell Tolls for World’s Oldest Foundry
3rd December 2016
The Whitechapel Bell Foundry, based in London’s Whitechapel, has long been the international centre for bespoke bells but the family run business has announced it is now set to close due to the “changing realities” of running a niche business.
Listed in the Guinness World Records as the oldest manufacturing firm in Britain, the company was formed in 1570 in the reign of Elizabeth I.

What? Can’t Trump swing some sort of deal? Maybe move the foundry to Indiana, so Pence can offer some sort of bribe to keep it going?

Sorry, but the President micro-managing stuff is your side’s thing, one that never works out in the end.
