    **** papers relating to the great clock 1848 ****

    We have mention in a couple of threads about old pdf's I have got which will be a bore to a lot of you maybe but some may get a kick out of them was hoping to cut and paste the pdf as a thread post but this is not an option so am trying this way instead so all you want to know about big ben is here .

    Here’s a link I think should work. Not sure though, it may require a google account.
