The developers slapped beige paint on the Whitechapel Bell Foundry to cover up the graffiti and obliterated the 19th century woodgraining. It is painful to witness this decay, when @thelondonbellf are offering to buy it to cast bells again and cherish the historic buildings.

The group hoping to re-open the East London foundry, which began operating in 1570, called the sight 'painful' when they posted the sad image of the desecration on social media this month.

Please support our friends @DennisSeversHse !.
If you love the magic of open fires at Dennis Severs’ House, please help us repair our chimneys. After three centuries, the soot encrusted brick work is decaying and now we need to raise at least £50,000 to line them.
