Harper Street

Re-Form Heritage is working with public and private funders and the local community to regenerate the 11 former pottery workers' terraces.

Harper Street will include a new heritage offer, workshop and retail space for seven creative businesses and a publicly accessible archive and research centre.

The regeneration will also create a vital community centre run by a local organisation offering Middleport’s residents social, training and community support opportunities.

Whitechapel Bell Foundry

In 2017 the historic Whitechapel Foundry was acquired and the use of these Grade 2* buildings for the making of bells, such as Big Ben, the Liberty Bell and the Bow Bells, ceased. Despite the historic listing the original equipment has now been stripped out in anticipation of the buildings being converted to a commercial use such as a boutique hotel or similar.
