Ladies Who London

Ep 202 The bells, the bells - Big Town Tinnitus


Listen Later

Fiona hits the streets in search of the sound of London. Or at least the sound of the bells of London. From the Westminster the the City and beyond, listening as the hours pass by and the years drop away. Listening to the echoes of sounds that Londoners heard 300 years ago.

What's a carillon? How long does it take to ring a peal? How heavy? And can we start making them here again please.


Of course there's Big Ben, and Great Tom, and Dick gets a mention, can anyone find a Harry?
