Big Ben's story started in 1834. In that year the old parliament building burned down. Its clock tower crashed to the ground. There had to be a new building and a new clock. Plans were made. They called for a "King of Clocks, the biggest and best in the world? So the clock had to be big. And it had to keep very good time. The big clock was made in two years. But it couldn't be put in the tower. The tower wasn't even built! Five more years went by before the clock tower was finished. Then the giant hour bell was put in place. It rang out for the first time on July 11, 1859.The great bell had to have a name. A meeting of Parliament wascalled to pick one. The clock is the King of Clocks? One man said. "Why not call the Queen of Bells?""Then why not Victoria?" said another. (Victoria was the British queen at that time.)The talk about names went on and on. Then Benjamin Hall got up to speak.
