The nickname ‘Big Ben’ is often used for the iconic clock tower which stands at the north end of the Houses of Parliament, but it was first given to the clock’s Great Bell, which weighs over 13 tons! Today marks 160 years since the Great Clock started keeping time.

The Elizabeth Tower, named after Queen Elizabeth II in 2012, was completed in 1859. This print shows how the unfinished clock tower looked in 1858, with scaffolding around the top.
