About the memorial: HMS Crane was a 1,490-ton frigate with a crew of 192 that was launched on 9 November 1942. It was adopted by Bethnal Green Borough Council during War Week that year. After scrapping the ship in 1965, the Admiralty presented the bell to Tower Hamlets Council. The bell was initially displayed in Bethnal Green Town Hall before being moved to a committee room at Mulberry Place. It is now displayed within the ground floor reception area of the Town Hall. The bell is positioned within a purpose-built cradle presented to the borough by the HMS Crane Association, in memory of all those who served on the ship.
