LONDON - Britain’s parliament marks 160 years on Thursday since its “Big Ben” bell first chimed, but the familiar bongs will not ring out to celebrate the occasion as the famous clock-tower is half way through a major restoration project.
It is the most extensive conservation program ever carried out on the tower and has also involved removing the whole of its cast iron roof, made up of 3,433 pieces, for repairs. “This is a complex program, with hundreds of experts around the country working on different elements of the project ... we have reached this stage with many major components restored and ready to go back in situ,” said Senior Project Leader Charlotte Claughton.
“Discovering the time capsule was a great moment ... It gave us a real sense of history and provided a tangible connection to those that have worked to preserve this beautiful landmark before us,” said Adam Watrobski, the project’s principal architect.
