Image description

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.
