<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Neil is quite correct. The original foundry was off
2 Jewin Crescent, but with the development of bell founding the site in
Spitalfields was developed c1870-80 and remained in their hands on the Spelman
Street site facing Booth Street and Heneage Street which ran west to Brick
Lane. The east side faced over High Street Spitalfields. Both were badly
damaged in WW2 and the sites cleared.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There were of course other Warner foundries or
works at Tendring in Essex (where Robert Warner lived, at the Manor) and
Stockton-on-Tees, birthplace of Big Ben I.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dennis. You asked me this question outside St
Lawrence Jewry - Jewin Crescent, Cripplegate. What I didn't say was that
later the foundry moved to Spelman Street, Spitalfields. I think that they
kept the Jewin Crescent address as the registered office. Their
Telegraphic address was "Big Ben, London', and that was in their catalogue for
1900 - well after the Big Ben debacle!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That's a quick answer but doubtless others will
want to say more?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was asking around at the C.Y. dinner last
week, but no one I spoke to knew where John Warner's London
foundry was situated. A Google search on his name came up with
nothing. Someone must know?</FONT></DIV>
