  • A Replica of the Stretch Clock Recently Reinstated at the West End of Independence Hall
    A replica of the Stretch clock recently reinstated at the west end of Independence Hall. (Photograph taken by the author in summer of 197J.) THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY The Stretch Qlock and its "Bell at the State House URING the spring of 1973, workmen completed the construc- tion of a replica of a large clock dial and masonry clock D case at the west end of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the original of which had been installed there in 1753 by a local clockmaker, Thomas Stretch. That equipment, which resembled a giant grandfather's clock, had been removed in about 1830, with no other subsequent effort having been made to reconstruct it. It therefore seems an opportune time to assemble the scattered in- formation regarding the history of that clock and its bell and to present their stories. The acquisition of the original clock and bell by the Pennsylvania colonial Assembly is closely related to the acquisition of the Liberty Bell. Because of this, most historians have tended to focus their writings on that more famous bell, and to pay but little attention to the hard-working, more durable, and equally large clock bell. They have also had a tendency either to claim or imply that the Liberty Bell and the clock bell had been procured in connection with a plan to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary, or "Jubilee Year," of the granting of the Charter of Privileges to the colony by William Penn. But, with one exception, nothing has been found among the surviving records which would support such a contention.

  • Campaign Fact Book Former Whitechapel Bell Foundry Site Whitechapel, London
    Campaign Fact Book Former Whitechapel Bell Foundry Site Whitechapel, London Compiled January 2020 Whitechapel Bell Foundry: a matter of national importance This fact book has been compiled to capture the breadth of the campaign to save the site of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, which is currently threatened by a proposal for conversion into a boutique hotel. Re-Form Heritage; Factum Foundation; numerous community, heritage and bellringing organisations; and thousands of individuals have contributed to and driven this campaign, which is working to: reinstate modern and sustainable foundry activity on the site preserve and record heritage skills integrate new technologies with traditional foundry techniques maintain and build pride in Whitechapel’s bell founding heritage The site of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry is Britain’s oldest single-purpose industrial building where for generations bells such as Big Ben, the Liberty Bell, Bow Bells and many of the world’s great bells were made. Bells made in Whitechapel have become the voices of nations, marking the world’s celebrations and sorrows and representing principles of emancipation, freedom of expression and justice. As such these buildings and the uses that have for centuries gone on within them represent some of the most important intangible cultural heritage and are therefore of international significance. Once the use of the site as a foundry has gone it has gone forever. The potential impact of this loss has led to considerable concern and opposition being expressed on an unprecedented scale within the local area, nationally and, indeed, internationally. People from across the local community, London and the world have voiced their strong opposition to the developer’s plans and to the hotel use and wish for the foundry use to be retained.

  • Fairbridge 'Big Bell' Story Working Backwards – 2020 to 1952
    Fairbridge ‘Big Bell’ Story When you first glance up at the Fairbridge bell on its high stand at the museum, it is intriguing. It draws you closer to investigate its size and details, with its chips and bruises from nearly 200 years of age. It’s not a huge bell, 550mm in height (3ft 6in), but it’s large enough to hold a presence and it shows it’s age with a greenish bronze patina. Local history of the bell is that it was at Fairbridge Farm School, Molong, from 1952 till the school closed in 1973. Fairbridge catered for child migrants from Great Britain, homing and schooling them in farm practices. Fairbridge Farm School opened in November 1938 and the bell was an important part of routine and structure at the school. However, as you will read, the ‘big bell’ wasn’t the chief bell at the school. Most often than not, the ‘big bell’ is not recounted in Fairbridge history. The bell the former students remember is the piece of railway iron that was strung up on a wooden framework near the kitchen. It was ‘rung’ with a steel bar and you wonder how many children damaged their hearing when ringing it. The damage to the railway iron if something that only constant use and hard hitting could accomplish! No doubt many a frustration was taken out on that piece of railway iron. Working backwards – 2020 to 1952 We will start at the end with the history we do know. The bell arrived at Molong Historical Society in 1982, being obtained from St Barnabas Church, Orange.

Big Ben has rung even during the worst of times, such as the Blitz, Germany’s eight-month bombardment of London during World War II. On April 10, Big Ben will ring out still another milestone, for it will turn 160 years old. The story of Big Ben begins on October 16, 1834, when fire destroyed the Palace of Westminster.
