The history of big ben the illustrations on this page were created by students at st. george's primary school in camberwell, london, as part of our "happy birthday, big ben! " project. these illustrations were previously published in a booklet about the history of big ben. on  16th october 1834, the palace of westminster was destroyed by a fire. a  hugefire. londoners came out to watch it, and legend has it, charles barry (whom we’ll meet in a moment) was passing by in a coach and stopped to watch for a while. there were so many spectators, they actually hampered the firemen’s efforts to douse the flames. when the flames were put out, there wasn’t much left. only westminster hall. parliament had nowhere to meet and they had to cancel their session. in november 1835, 13 months later, they set up a committee to re-build and they held a competition for designs. more than  400 designs  were submitted by more than  90 architects. in the end, the committee chose the design ofcharles barry, but here's a little secret: his original design did  not  include a clock tower! they asked him to revise it and to add a clock tower, of course with a clock inside! working with his trusty (but somewhat highly strung) assistant,  augustus welby pugin,charles barry  added a clock tower to his design, along with four faces, and really big bells! but  charles barry, quite rightly, asserted that he was an architect, not a clockmaker. so he asked  benjamin lous vuillamy, clockmaker to the queen, to design a clock. by this time, it was 1841, so you can’t blame charlie for wanting to get on with his project. however….all the expert clockmakers across britain were upset that he had askedbenjamin louis vuillamy  to design the clock, without so much as an open competition. one clockmaker,  edward dent, wrote togeorge airy, astonomer royal, asking him to recommend him for the job. of course,  george airy  did so, and, as a result, the committee decided that  george airy  should write up a list of requirements for the great clock. they asked him to choose the design and the clockmaker to boot!
