The future of the last major bellfoundry in Britain is under threat after it missed out on a £8m grant.

Taylor's of Loughborough had hoped to use the cash from the Heritage Lottery Fund to create a new visitor attraction and secure their listed building.

Mary Barrass, the firm's museum manager, said: "It [the grant] would have made a huge difference for the visitor experience.

"We have got water pouring in through the roof and it is not very welcoming to have a visitor come when it is damp and cold as we haven't got any heating either."

The Heritage Lottery Fund said it appreciated Taylor's disappointment that it had missed out, but that its recent board meeting was highly competitive and over subscribed.
