EXLCUSIVE: It's the largest clock of its type in the world
Manchester Town Hall’s historic and iconic clock tower is visible for the first time in years after a loving restoration.
Preservation work took place on the cast iron dials, glass panels, and eight-tonne bell — officially called Great Abel — have all been made to look like new, as has the 23-carat gold hour markers. To mark the occasion, a new video showing off the clock has been released exclusively to the Manchester Evening News. Drone footage shows just how much care has gone into the project.
“As part of the once-in-a-century Our Town Hall project to repair and restore the town hall and safeguard it for future generations, we’ve taken the opportunity to bring it back to its original glory. It’s great that we’ve now reached a stage where we have been able to remove the scaffolding and restore the view of the clock tower, giving a foretaste of the whole building being returned to the people of Manchester in magnificent shape.
