Big Ben's Arrival: A Historical Moment in Time at Westminster, 1856 This photograph, taken in 1856 by an unknown artist and sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, captures a pivotal moment in the rich history of London's iconic Big Ben. The image, titled "Big Ben Arrives at Westminster," portrays the monumental bell as it makes its way towards its final destination at the St. Stephen's Clock Tower, now known as the Elizabeth Tower. The scene is bustling with excitement as a large crowd gathers to witness the historic event. Horses and carriages line the streets, and onlookers, dressed in Victorian attire, eagerly await the arrival of the iconic bell. The imposing Gothic Revival architecture of the Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament can be seen in the background, adding to the grandeur of the moment. Big Ben, named after Sir Benjamin Hall, the First Commissioner of Works, was cast in Scotland and transported to London in several sections. The massive bell, weighing over 13 tons, was brought to Westminster on a horse-drawn carriage, pulled by eight horses. This photograph documents the final leg of its journey, as it is hoisted up the scaffolding and prepared to be installed in the clock tower. Once installed, Big Ben would become an integral part of London's identity, chiming the hours for over a century and a half, a symbol of the city's resilience and enduring history. This photograph serves as a testament to the significance of this moment in time, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the awe and anticipation that accompanied the arrival of this iconic British landmark.
