of the University in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Birmingham</st1:City></st1:place> was a key element of Joseph
Chamberlain’s vision for the City. He had originally envisaged developing the
<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Mason</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">College</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> buildings for the
purpose, but a gift of £50,000 from Andrew Carnegie, the American industrialist,
brought with it a condition that the money should be spent on buildings.
Carnegie also made it clear that he would like to see a campus-style university
with lavish buildings like those of the new universities in <st1:place
w:st="on">North America</st1:place>. From this developed <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:country-region
w:st="on">England</st1:country-region></st1:place>’s first ‘red-brick’
University and its fine complex of buildings.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

face=Tahoma>The charter was granted in 1900 and in July of the same year Lord
Calthorpe donated the Edgbaston site for the new university. The first buildings
on the campus were erected soon afterwards, the architects being Sir Aston Webb
and E. Ingress Bell whose original scheme included a modest tower over the main
building at the centre of the complex. The main builder was Thomas Rowbotham.
The first phase of construction was completed in 1906 and the new University was
opened by King Edward VII in July 1909.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

November 1905 it was reported that an anonymous gift of £50,000 – presumably
Carnegie’s - had been made to the University, "... to be applied in the erection
of a tower." Eventually a modified design based upon the <st1:PlaceName

at <st1:City w:st="on">Siena</st1:City> in <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Italy</st1:country-region></st1:place>,
was accepted. Built of red <st1:place w:st="on">Accrington</st1:place> brick
with Darley Dale stone dressings, the tower stands to a height of 327 feet. In
honour of the University’s first Chancellor, it was named the <st1:place

face=Tahoma>The tower was built in 1907-9 by Waring White of London whose tender
(£14,189) was selected from the seventeen submitted. Thomas Rowbotham evidently
bore no grudge about his failure to secure the contract for this phase of the
University, as he made the very generous gift of some £2000 for the clock and
bells for the new tower. The original electric lift, installed by Otis, still
remains in use.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

</SPAN>The tower was built from the inside without the use of scaffolding. This
had the advantage of keeping down the cost, but the lack of external pointing
resulted in water penetration. This had to be remedied soon after the tower was
built, and in 1914 Thomas Rowbotham was engaged to point the tower at a cost of
£710. Again no scaffolding was needed, as the workmen operated from hanging
cages. The tower has since been restored again in 1957 and in 1985 when a major
refurbishment took place at a cost of £250,000.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

face=Tahoma>The clock was made in 1908 by the Whitchurch firm of J. B. Joyce,
although installation was not completed until after the official opening of the
University in July 1909. It is recorded that on the opening day a workman was
employed to operate the hands of the clock manually with a cranking handle! A
contemporary account of the clock was given in the <I>London and Provincial
Magazine</I> for February 1909:<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

divided into three separate trains - the hour train, the train operating the
quarter-hour <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Westminster</st1:City></st1:place> chimes, and the general driving
train. The escapement is after the pattern connected with the late Lord
Grimthorpe, the double three-legged gravity, and the wearing parts are jewelled
as in a watch, which is noticeable in conjunction with the fact that the main
wheels are 24in. in diameter, and weigh close on 1 cwt. each, The pendulum,
which is 15ft. long, goes through to the floor below; it weighs 4cwt. and beats
with a swing of two seconds' duration each way. The clock will go for a week on
one winding, and an automatic arrangement throws the chimes out of gear during
the night hours. The hour bell, weighing over 6 tons, and the quarter-hour
chimes (4 tons) were cast by Messrs. Taylor, of Loughborough'. The total weight
of the clock and bells when installed will exceed 20 tons. The cogged wheels in
the mechanism, in addition to the bushes and pivot holes, are all of gun metal,
polished and lacquered, and, needless to say, exactly fitting in with one
another.” </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma"

the bells are as nos. 1, 2, 3, 6 and 10 of a ring of ten in G. All five bells
have flange-tops, those on the two largest bells having a pattern or border
round the edge. The hour bell, also known as “Big Joe” on account of its
association with Joseph Chamberlain (1836-1914), ranks as the eleventh heaviest
in Great Britain.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

style="mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma" lang=EN-GB><FONT face=Tahoma>The bells were
rehung in June 1981 by John Taylor & Co following the partial disintegration
of the webbing of the steel grillage on which they were hung. The framework
consists of four parallel main girders spanning the tower from north to south.
The hour bell hangs in the middle, with no.1 to the west, no.2 to the north,
no.3 to the south and no 4 to the east. Their deadstocks are formed from pairs
back-to-back steel channels resting on the main girders, those of bells 2, 3 and
5 being raised from the girders on pedestals. They are all fitted with external
clock hammers (with two on the fourth quarter bell).

three-train movement by Joyce of Whitchurch, 1908-9. It has a cast iron flatbed
frame. The going train has a double three-legged escapement and drives four
large dials (17 feet 6 inches wide). The clock strikes the hours and <st1:place
