Ticket to see the great bell (Big Ben), for the Clock Tower at the new Palace of Westminster

The great bell of Westminster

Recasting the great bell for the Clock Tower, New Houses of Parliament

$The original “Big Ben.” Properly “Big Ben” is the “Great Bell” not the Clock Tower. The new (present) Palace of Westminster opened in 1852 and this Big Ben – the great Bell – was cast by Warners of Norton, Stockton in 1856, intended to be named the Royal Victoria. However, it immediately developed a four inch crack and was replaced by the present one, cast in the Whitechapel Bell Foundry – which also fractured. Loose engraving.$
