The Whitechapel Bell Foundry (in London's Aldgate) was established in 1570 (during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I) and is the UK's oldest manufacturing company. It's lineage dates back further to Henry V in 1420 and it has survived through the reigns of 27 monarchs. It has cast many famous and historic bells such as Big Ben, Great Tom and the Liberty Bell in America. Bell metal is a bronze - an alloy of copper and tin that gives bells their sonorous quality. The alloy is heated to 2000F before being poured into the special moulds. Big Ben, cast in 1858, was so huge (13 tonnes) that it took 20 days for the bell to cool sufficiently for the mould to be opened.
