The Dominion Foundry Site is a group of heritage industrial buildings in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The site was developed by Dominion Wheel & Foundries Limited, a rail parts manufacturer based in Toronto. The factory site was owned by Canadian Northern Railway and later by Canadian National Railway. The remaining structures on site consist of a foundry (153 Eastern; built 1950), warehouse (169 Eastern; built 1935), office building (171 Eastern; built 1930) and machine shop (185 Eastern; built 1917). These buildings were part of a much larger complex once engaged in building railway equipment, rolling stock, and machinery. In 2004, the site was added to the City of Toronto Heritage Property Inventory as having heritage significance.

Pictures taken at the former Lister Petter foundry in 1998. The site in Dursley, Gloucestershire, was demolished in the early 2000s and the site is earmarked for housing development.
The loading point for road transport was the former station at Redbourn approximately half way between Hemel Hempstead and Harpenden. D2203 is seen on arrival at Redbourn. Asahi Pentax Spotmatic, Kodachrome slide film.

This booklet describes the properties and scientific research applicable to the "Blaydon foundry coke" manufactured by the Priestman Collieries at Blaydon-on-Tyne, a little upstream from Newcastle. Coal is not 'just' coal but different types and seams have differing properties and some, such as for metallurgical foundry coke, are better than others depending on factors such as structure, ash and sulphur content and calorific value.
It shows the details of this specific coke as well as showing some of the laboratory and testing processes that Priestman, obviously a very organised and scientific concern, undertook to ensure the product supplied was consistant. It includes a copy of a letter, dated 1929, from a 'satisfied customer' for Blaydon Burn Coke - this being one Sir W G Armstrong, Whitworth & Co Ltd. They also mention that this specific foundry coke is manufactured in by-product (or bye-products) ovens and that they also produce a coke manufactured for those foundries that preferred the older Beehive Coke, the Priestman Garsfield Beehive Foundry Coke.
We used to frequent Loughborough around the Millennium as our son went to uni there. At that time this pub was called "The Saracen's Head". It was then renamed "Gallery" and then "The Foundry Bell".
We only discovered this just before Christmas.
Taken about 8 years ago, this area is now undergoing significant development. Just north east of downtown. Indianapolis.
The Whitechapel Bell Foundry was famous for, well, casting church bells. However, it closed in 2017 after nearly 450 years of bell-making and 250 years at its Whitechapel site, with the final bell cast given to the Museum of London along with other artefacts used in the manufacturing process.

Schloss Oldenburg (Oldenburg palace) is a schloss, or palace, in the city of Oldenburg in the present-day state of Lower Saxony, Germany. The first castle on the site was built around 1100 and became the ancestral home of the House of Oldenburg. The present building served as residence to the counts (1667–1785), dukes (1785–1815) and grand dukes (1815–1918) of Oldenburg.
The building now houses part of the State Museum for Art and Cultural History, especially its decorative arts and local history exhibitions, as well as some old master paintings. Immediately outside the palace to the west and north is the Schlossplatz. Opposite it, to the north, is the Schlosshöfe shopping mall, opened in 2011. To the south are the Prinzenpalais and Augusteum. [Wikipedia]

Return to Plumbers Row has flush frame windows, corbelled brick eaves cornice, tiled roof and rusticated wooden door surround. On extension at rear is an interesting old jib crane beneath a bracketed canopy.
The E.B.T. Railroad historian told us that this was the foundry which would melt down metals to be formed into nearly any shape they desired using forms. The A-Frame nearest the camera is a crane for lifting the heavy items that were made here. Boy I'd do nearly anything to see this baby back in action someday.
After Neenah Foundry building was torn down, it opened up new possibilities for photography. The only drawback is that the Winneconne Avenue overpass does not have a sidewalk on the yard side of the bridge.
Several years ago, Ken & I had the great pleasure of meeting Mr. Larry Godwin in his personal gallery – Art Wurks- in Brundidge Alabama. I had seen this place for years- I remember it even as a kid. Many people know it as the place on Highway 231 between Troy and Dothan with the giant rooster in front made from car bumpers. It was entirely luck that we found the artist there- or fate?! We were mesmerized and amazed as we took a personal tour of the gallery and spent a bit of the afternoon with Mr. Godwin. A man of great talent and vision, he is as personable as his artwork!
Finally, photos from that memorable time.
Larry Godwin / Brundidge AL ~ sculptor, artist ~ born at the height of the Great Depression in rural South Alabama, has spent much of his life translating his aesthetic visions into environmental art and fountains. Public and privately held examples of his work dot the Southeast and other parts of the country and Europe.
Larry received his initial arts training at Auburn University, graduating with a Bachelor of Applied Arts degree in 1957. After a stint in the Army, Larry opened a gallery in Brundidge, Alabama, eventually adding a full metal fabrication and foundry shop. After a tour of Europe, he completed his first large commission, a mural at the Gayle Planetarium in Montgomery, Alabama in 1967. A tendency toward relief elements in the artist's otherwise two-dimensional works led to medium and large-scale welded metal fully three-dimensional sculptures beginning in 1968.
Larry Godwin was one of the first artists in the Artist-in-Residence program when it went national in 1970, teaching with great success in rural elementary, middle and high schools over two school years. He notably supervised the student construction of a school mascot (an eagle) from 1,400 pounds of chrome automobile bumpers from a local junkyard.
The sculptor's interest in fountain technology led to the first public fountain installations at a Montgomery mall in 1977 and an unpublished technical manuscript on fountain sculpture. A recent fountain grouping at Kindercare's home office in Montgomery celebrates the whimsy of childhood fantasies.
Other notable monumental sculptures include work for Disney World, Alabama State University, and Hard Rock Café. A full-scale interpretation of the Wright Brother's 1910 flier at the Air Force's Air University in Montgomery in 1985 has led to other Wright fliers in Daytona Beach, Florida in 1989 (the 1903 "Kitty Hawk" model) and Dayton, Ohio, completed this year (the 1905 model).
Larry frequently works with architects to incorporate sculpture into a building's ecology at the planning stage. He recently produced a series of seven bronze panels depicting in relief the history of Montgomery for a park in the Retirement Systems of Alabama complex.
In addition to his Art Wurks gallery, Larry Godwin currently maintains a 10,000 square foot warehouse with overhead crane and other facilities for constructing and manipulating the monumental scale sculptures and fountains he favors. A foundry, lost wax casting center and other annexes bring the total workspace to 16,000 square feet.
He continues to explore new forms, methods and materials such as sculptures that expand and contract or interlocking elements that combine in an infinite variety of ways.
