Framed Print of The new Townhall, Bradford, 1873. Creator: Unknown
The new Townhall, Bradford, 1873. We give an Illustration of the Townhall, which has been built at a cost of £100, 000...The architects are Messrs. Lockwood and Mawson, of Bradford; Messrs. J. Ives and Son, of Shipley, were the contractors...The statues, thirty-five in number, are by Messrs. Farmer and Brindley...The tower is not only used for ventilation, but contains a clock with four dials, and a peal of carillon bells, playing twenty-one tunes. All the ventilation-shafts converge in the tower, where the upward draught is assisted by a coil of hot-water pipes. The great clock, made by Messrs. Gillett and Bland, steam-clock factory, Croydon, strikes the hours upon a bell of about 4½ tons, with a hammer weighing 3 cwt. and chimes the quarters on four other bells...The time is shown upon four dials, each 10 ft. 6 in. in diameter, with cast-iron figures and minutes, glazed with opal glass, and illuminated at night by gas; and, by a very ingenious arrangement of mechanism, applied to the clock, the gas is turned up and down so as to suit all seasons of the year, providing for long and short days; so that no attendance will be required to turn the gas on and off. This is the first time the invention has been applied'. From Illustrated London News, 1873. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
