London and Big Ben are forever linked in the consciousness of the Western world. As it turns out, now is the time to admire and learn about Big Ben, because some believe it is likely to fall over. Since 2012, several sources have reported about the cracks appearing in walls all over the Palace of Westminster. This building houses Parliament and the House of Lords, which comprise the legislative bodies of the British Government. The building has stood in the same location since 1288, although it has not always been the same building. The palace and the tower have gone through renovation, rebuilding, fire, and more rebuilding, over the course of the last 720 years. During the Battle of Britain in the Second World War, the clock tower was the only part of Westminster Palace to merely sustain superficial damage, but as the Luftwaffe pummeled away at the city and the country, the chimes became a symbol of the resilience of the British people. While the chimes have been stopped in the past due to mechanical error, the enemy was never able to silence Big Ben.

Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Big Ben like never before, in no time at all.

Clock towers, commonly known as ‘Ghantaghar’, are very popular structures available in many cities of India. Apart from telling the time, they tell the history of the place. They are architectural master pieces, built in different styles of architecture depending upon who constructed them. Unfortunately, not much information about these clock towers is available and they have not been chronicled. Even the public is not aware about the existence of clock towers in their city. Therefore, it’s no surprise that these clock towers are standing uncared for, many in dilapidated state. There is urgent need to preserve these heritage structures and initiate steps to renovate and bring them to their old glory. The author has included 99 clock towers, existing in 57 cities spread over 15 States and 3 Union Territories of India, in this book. The book introduces the cities, mentioning interesting facts about their history and traces the details of construction of the clock towers. The author has also outlined a plan of action for making the maintenance of clock towers self sustaining. The book is of interest to the tourists, students of history, architecture and engineering and the municipalities of various cities having clock towers.
