Big Ben Refurb.
9 Answers
Not exactly new this but can anyone remember, many years ago, the BBC used to always lead into the hour with the chimes of Big Ben? I ask this because of the current work being done on it, the bell will be silent for 4 years. However, I seem to recall that back in the late fifties/early sixties, the BBC changed from Big Ben to the bell on Huddersfield Town Hall but I can't remember why. Somebody please tell me I'm not imagining this and can remember it too. Thanks.

A little discussion here of what the BBC has done in previous times, but no mention of another bell.
