The bells strike the quarter past of the hour. These bells are located in the Great Dome of Nottingham City Council House, in Market Square of the city of Nottingham, United Kingdom. The picture shows the 1st and 4th Quarter Jack, which weighs just over 3 tons and was cast by John Taylor & Co in 1928.

  • I went to Big Ben on a tower tour and was stood about 5 feet from a 10ft bell at 12.!

    OUCH!

  • @bellminsterboy Well. Lets see. If you has checked my other videos you would have seen that I managed to record these striking 10am, including Little John. Big Ben, although heavier, is not as deep, and neither is it a very good bell! Frankly its shit! What happens when you go to Shitecrappel. Plus I have had the good fortune to swing Great Peter at York Minster by hand for several morning services, which is the largest manually swung bell in the country! So:

    MUURRRHHH!!! :-p

see all

  • @vjoneslong don't forget, that crack in the bell messed up the tone of the bell, so thats why big ben sounds weird.
