ʻO Whitechapel Bell Foundry ka pūnaeweleʻoihana kahiko a Britain i hoʻokumuʻia i ka makahiki 1570, i ka manawa o Mō'īwahine Elizabeth I. Hoʻokumu mau lākou i nā bele a me nā lako a he hale kūʻai, ma kahi kokoke i ka hale hoʻokipa, me nā bele lima, mele a me nā mea kūʻai'ē aʻe.
Ke hoʻohana nei lākou i nā hana kuʻuna kahiko me kaʻenehana hou a hiki iāʻoe ke hele a puni kaʻaoʻao o ka hale aʻike i kaʻike. Loaʻa nā hopena o ka hopena o ka hopena o ka lā, akā, he kaulana loa lākou a hiki iāʻoe ke kākau i hoʻokahi makahiki ma mua.
Ua hele au ma kahi mākaʻikaʻi a hiki iāʻoe ke'ōlelo aku. Ua kākau wau iʻeono mau mahina i ka wā ma hope o ka weheʻiaʻana o nā lā huakaʻi o ka makahiki e hiki mai ana i kēia manawa no ka hoʻolālāʻana. Ua mālama ka Manawa Kūkākūkā he hui o kahi 30 mau kānaka a puni nā hale a ho'ākāka i ka hana hana ma kahiʻanoʻike a hoʻomaʻamaʻa. ("Ke hoʻolimalima wau iʻekolu mau kānaka e hana i nāʻala a me nā kānakaʻelua e hana i nā hale lepo.")
Uaʻike wau i ke kumu o ka hanaʻana o nāʻoihanaʻoihana ahupuaʻa ma ka hikina o nā kūlanakauhale: no ka mea,ʻo ka makani mau o ka mālama komohana e hoʻonani ana i waho o ke kūlanakauhale, a ua kahaha wau i kaʻikeʻanaʻaʻoleʻaʻohe kūweʻe a he haka hoʻokahi kēlā bele.
Loaʻa nā hana kūikawā i nā limahana limahana i ka mea i loaʻa ai a he nui ka nohoʻana no ko lākou ola. ʻO ka hua'ōlelo i kākauʻia penei: "ʻAʻohe mea hikiʻole i ke kanaka ke ponoʻole e hana."
