Taylor’s Bellfoundry has been saved! 🎉 This is the largest purpose-built bellfoundry in the UK still in use.
Constructed in 1859, it is an example of the specialised metal working industry that thrived during the 19th century. Thousands of church bells have been made here over the years, including the ‘Great Paul’ for St Paul’s Cathedral in London.
Following a series of Historic England repair grants, Taylor’s Bellfoundry secured funding from @heritagefunduk for repair and improvement work to the tower, allowing the West site to be removed from the #HeritageAtRisk Register. 👏
Further repairs are required to the foundry building on the east side of Cobden Street which remains on the Register.
📍 @taylorsbellfoundry (on west side of Cobden Street), Loughborough | Grade II* listed.
