Rochdale Town Hall Clock
A look at Rochdale Town Hall Clock, Greater Manchester, on Friday 13th February 2015.
Rochdale Town Hall is a Victorian-era municipal building and is considered as being one of the finest municipal buildings in the country and is rated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building. Built in the Gothic Revival style at a cost of £160,000 (£12.6 million as of 2014) it was inaugurated for the governance of the Municipal Borough of Rochdale on 27th September 1871. The architect, William Henry Crossland, was the winner of a competition held in 1864 to design a new Town Hall.
In 1882 or 1883, dry rot was found in the 240-foot (73 m) high spire. On the recommendation of Rochdale's Borough Surveyor, contractors were engaged to rebuild it. The spire was to be demolished to clear the way for a replacement. It was rumoured that the workmen who were dismantling the top section of the wooden spire may have tried to speed up the dismantling process with matches and, at 9:20 am on 10 April 1883, a blaze was discovered. Despite the efforts of volunteers and the local fire brigade, 100 minutes after the discovery of the fire the entire spire, including a statue of Saint George and the Dragon, had been destroyed. Alfred Waterhouse was given the task of designing a 190-foot (58 m) stone replacement. His work on the clock tower, which was built between 1885 and 1887 about 15 yards (14 m) further to the east than the original shows many similarities to Manchester Town Hall which he also designed. The tower was opened in 1888; an inscribed plaque commemorates the fire of 1883.
The present clock tower is 190 feet (58 m) tall. The first stone was laid by Thomas Schofield JP, Alderman and Rochdale Borough Councillor, on 19 October 1885 and the tower was declared complete on 20 June 1887. It contains five bells which ring on the hour and at 15-minute intervals.
The building came to the attention of Adolf Hitler, who was said to have admired it so much that he wished to ship the building, brick-by-brick, to Nazi Germany had the United Kingdom been defeated in the Second World War.

Manchester Town Hall Clock and Albert Square
A little look at Albert Square and Manchester Town Hall clock right in the heart of Manchester city centre on Monday 9th February 2015.
The square contains a number of monuments and statues, the largest of which is the Albert memorial.
It is dominated by its largest building, Manchester Town Hall Grade I, a Victorian Gothic building by Alfred Waterhouse. Work on the town hall began in 1868 and completed in 1877.
In the early 1970s, there was a plan to build an underground station under Albert Square and neighbouring St Peter's Square, as part of the ill-fated Picc-Vic tunnel project. The project was eventually cancelled and the station was not built.
At the end of the video, the clock can be heard striking 6.00pm. The 280 feet tall clock tower, houses a carillon of 23 bells: 12 are hung for full circle change ringing and were manufactured by John Taylor Bellfounders. The clock was made by Gillett and Bland (predecessor of Gillett and Johnston) and was originally wound using hydraulic power supplied by Manchester Hydraulic Power. The clock bell first rang on New Year's Day 1879 but cracked and was replaced in 1882 and recast with all the bells in 1937. The clock face bears the inscription 'Teach us to number our Days' from Psalm 90:12. The hour bell known as 'Great Abel' was named after Abel Heywood and weighs 8 tons 2.5 cwt. It is inscribed with the initials AH for Abel Heywood and the Tennyson line 'Ring out the false, ring in the true'. This is the fourth largest clock bell in England and the pitch is F#.
