Bolton Town Hall Clock 

A look at Bolton Town Hall Clock, Greater Manchester, on the late morning of Thursday 12th February 2015.
Bolton Town Hall, Victoria Square, Bolton, was built between 1866 and 1873 for the County Borough of Bolton to designs by William Hill of Leeds and George Woodhouse of Bolton. The town hall was extended in the 1930s to the designs of Bradshaw, Gass and Hope and has been designated a Grade II* listed building by English Heritage.
The Baroque clock tower reaches a height of 198 feet (60.35 metres) and each of the four glass clock faces is 12 feet (3.65 metres) across and illuminated from within at night. The original clock mechanism was built by William Potts of Leeds. The bells were cast by Warner & Sons of London who also provided the quarter hour bells for the Palace of Westminster (but not 'Big Ben', the hour bell). Bolton's hour bell weighs in at just over 4 tons while the four quarter hour bells are 1.5 tons each.
In 1978 Fred Dibnah of television fame, made repairs to the clock tower and its 16 stone pillars. Whilst repairing the tower he gilded the sphere at the top.
