I never knew Big Ben was the name of only the bell!! Another exciting thing learned on Decades.

[@DecadesVideos]

None of it is formally named Big Ben, it's sorta like an inside joke lost to history but it's iconic so we use it quite regularly to refer to the whole thing

Had a photo taken right opposite Big Ben back in 79,the year Maggie got in,45 years go lol.

[@jamesnicholson2503]

Its named after Benjamin Hall,who is from Monmouth on the Welsh border,and some of the steel in the belfry,is made in South Wales,from Dowlais Iron works that is fact.
