This is the works over the road from the foundry building and includes the arrivals and despatch area (seen here), machine shops, tuning shop and woodworking shop. Taylor's make and hang bells and this view shows hung bells too. The one on the right is arranged for change ringing and can swing 360 degrees or thereabouts. The flooring here is wooden blocks to protect the bells from damage. The industrial ambience in these buildings was fantastic.
