And now more than 160 years later, Yorkshire is once at the forefront of a huge restoration scheme that is being undertaken in Westminster.
Restoration of the Elizabeth Tower in Westminster
The Elizabeth Tower conservation project is due to be completed next year, when the world-famous chimes of Big Ben will once again be heard.
Yorkshire was once again chosen as the best part of the world to source stone for the project.
In 2017, stone was hewn from the Cadeby Quarry in Doncaster – a limestone famed for its durability and hardiness.
And companies from the region have been involved in the bid to restore the Elizabeth Tower and the famous clock, which are undergoing the most extensive works for more than 32 years.

Sobre el Big-Ben
Aunque la gran mayoría de los turistas creen que el “Big Ben” es un reloj, se equivocan, el Big Ben es la campana que reside en el interior del Tower Clock -la torre del reloj.
La torre fue levantada como parte del nuevo edificio diseñado por Charles Barry, después de que el primer palacio de Westminster fuera destruido por el fuego la noche del 16 de octubre de 1834. La torre está diseñada en estilo gótico victoriano, y tiene 96,3 metros de altura.
El cuerpo de la torre de 61 m. de altura es de ladrillo con revestimiento de piedra; los 35 metros restantes lo forman la aguja de hierro fundido con que se corona la torre. La torre se asienta sobre una base de 15 por 15 metros y tiene un peso estimado en 8.667 toneladas. Los cuatro relojes están situados a 55 metros de altura.
