The Focus on the Foundry Photography Workshops @taylorsbellfoundry moved into their second year last Friday, so this is a good opportunity for a little retrospective of my work from the last four sessions.

The amazing team at #Erewash #Museum have relaunched their series of regional #history #talks, and I’m giving one of them!
Come along on Saturday, 25th February at 2pm to hear me talk about the history of Taylor’s #bellfoundry and the #Loughborough bells ringing right under your nose (or ears!)🔔👃👂
Erewash Museum is home to the brilliant Old Stables #tearoom, so why not pop in for a delicious piece of #cake as well? 🍰

Never knew there was a #BellFoundry in #Dublin. That'd be one for #frankmcdonald

I was on t’radio today!
Listen to (a little bit of) me and my lovely colleagues talk about how me make a #bell at the #bellfoundry in the #BBC #Radio4 #documentary “Bells That Still Can Ring”. There’s great interviews with Oliver Caroe at #StPaulsCathedral, the sound engineer behind AC/DC’s #HellsBells and a team of #bellringers.

I love this bit of kit, a specialist table for bell wheel making. The original wooden table was later capped with a sturdy metal top for durability. More than a century later, it’s still going strong!
