Here is Britain's oldest manufacturing company established in 1570 in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. It has been in continuous business since then and famously made the bells for Big Ben and the Liberty Bell in the US. Jack the Ripper would have walked past these premises on his grisly endeavours. The lashing rain when I photographed this just added to the atmosphere of the place. It's free to have a wander around inside and you can book a tour of the foundry.

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.

In 1871, a small screw steamboat was launched at Coedygric, Griffithstown, on the Monmouthshire- Brecon Canal. It had been made by Davies & Pratt of the Pontypool Foundry & Engineering Works. In 1874 this works was purchased by a Sampson Copestake and became Panteg Foundry. Copestake built a steel smelting works on the site. The largest casting ever made in Monmouthshire, one weighing 100-120 tons, was made in this foundry as a foundation block for No. 1 Hammer. A surviving wall at Panteg Forge bears the date 1869 and the 1901 OS map shows the site as disused. Today a scrap metal merchant occupies the location.

During a June 1966 railway society visit to the loco shed serving Stanton & Staveley' Holwell Foundry at Asfordby, near Melton Mowbray, outside the shed were two Andrew Barclay 0-4-0 saddle tanks, one of which is 'Holwell No.18' (W/No.1791 built in 1923).

I think this says 'It is Possible for You to do it Yourself'. I translated the Icelandic and Portuguese on Google translate but they weren't identical.

It was a long day at the foundry and his shift was finally over. Pouring molten metal into sand forms to cast Flask Pins and other items takes it toll. He's exhausted and glad to be heading home.
18" x 15". Wall-hanging. This was a casting form mold used to make Flask Pins (there is a stamped metal tag on the bottom edge labeled Flask Pin). I reconfigured the wooden parts and added the metal. The "ears" were already in place as handles for the mold. The hair is antique horseshoe nails.

I've been given information regarding "Flask Pins" by a reliable source. Flask Pins were used to pin together two sand-casting forms. Molten metal was poured into the sand forms and the casting hardened. When ready to remove the casting, the Flask Pins were knocked out, allowing the two halves of the forms to separate. The object I found and reconfigured was an old wooden mold for casting the Flask Pins themselves.

"Odlewnicze fajerwerki"
Zawierciańska Odlewnia to Zakład o bardzo bogatej tradycji sięgającej 1886 roku, kiedy to Ernest Erbe założył kuźnicę we wsi Łośnica (obecnie w granicach miasta Zawiercie). Początkowo zakład zajmował się drobną produkcją o przeznaczeniu rzemieślniczym, jednak z czasem jego działalność się rozwijała aż do I wojny światowej, kiedy odlewnie zatrzymano. Swą pozycję „Fabryka Łączników i Wyrobów Lano – Kutych Ernest Erbe” szybko odbudowała, ponieważ już 2 lata po zakończeniu wojny osiągnęła swoje zdolności produkcyjne. Co więcej Zakład już wtedy był Firmą mogącą się poszczycić się szeroka gamą odbiorców zagranicznych. Zakład kontynuował działalność w okresie II wojny światowej, aby następnie dostać się pod Tymczasowy Zarząd Państwowy. W międzyczasie nazwę Fabryki zmieniono w wyniku połączenia ze spółką Ferrum na „Odlewnia Żeliwa Ciągliwego i Wytwórnia Łączników”. Obowiązywała ona do 1995 roku, czyli do powstania Spółki noszącej obecną nazwę „Odlewnia Żeliwa Zawiercie S.A.” Obecny nowoczesny park technologiczny Zakładu nie wiele ma wspólnego z tradycyjnymi technologiami stosowanymi niegdyś w zawierciańskiej Odlewni. Żeliwiaki zostały zastąpione przez topialnię indukcyjną, dysponującą dwoma tyglami topiącymi. Na archiwalnych zdjęciach prezentujących Odlewnię można dostrzec żeliwiak oraz 2 kadzie pośrednie o znacznej objętości. Na zdjęciu załadunek jednego z tygli topiących wozem załadowczym.

Taken about 8 years ago, this area is now undergoing significant development. Just north east of downtown. Indianapolis.
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.
Spent the last two evenings printing a bookplate for a friend. The types used are Libra from Typefoundry Amsterdam and Franciscan cast by Theo Rehak at Dale Guild. The foundry ornament is ATF Strathmore Ornament No. 218. which is most appropriate because the paper is Strathmore 100% Cotton Rag. It was printed manually on an Adana 8" x 5" printing press.

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]
