29 December 2013 - VB328 - Clock Tower Tour

Video Blog 328 - I went on one of the tours of Manchester Town Hall Clock Tower. I got as far as the clock face and a combination of vertigo and an 80mph gale meant I didn't get to experience the view (which I was told was good) and the hour bell strike. However I did get to see the clock mechanism work. If you do get the chance to do the tour I would recommend it. Even if you can't manage the outside bit it's a fantastic piece of Victorian engineering.

[@A319planes]

You should go to York minster is in United Kindom

[@johnglascock7399]

I love the big flying fans up top.

[@carwashslayer4235]

Those things are fast enough to actually keep the bells in tempo so they don't slow down. The grandfather clock ones do the same thing. Fly Fans are my favorite part.

WHAT TIME IS IT XXXX

[@theresachiles7103]

I can bary hear the stricking bell

[@davidnissim589]

The quarter bells (Westminster chimes) are directly above the mechanism, but the striking bell (Great Abel) is all the way at the top of the tower, quite a ways up.
