On 10th April 2008,
Big Ben (the bell) celebrated his 150th birthday!
Guy
Fox History Project Limited are launching a community heritage project
to commemorate
150 years of Big Ben, the clock and the clocktower.
It's
going to be LOADS of fun. Local children and volunteers will explore
the clocktower and meet Big Ben, then they'll illustrate the history
and engineering behind London's most famous landmark.Their efforts
will be published as a FREE booklet, DVD and educators pack. These
resources will be available here online or by post on a first-come,
first-served basis (Register
your details to
get on our mailing list).
The
project will culminate in a big, public celebration in early 2009.
So get on board, and let's get the party started!
