No. Big Ben is actually the name of the 14 ton bell in the Clock Tower at the Palace of Westminster in London. It was installed in 1859.
This is where it was built, to be included in the re-build of the Houses of Parliament.
Big Ben (Elizabeth Tower) was built in the Gothic style.
The clock tower which is part of Westminster Palace in London (in the UK) and which is commonly referred to as Big Ben* is actually constructed from brick with an ornamental limestone cladding. * There is some debate as to whether the name "Big Ben" refers to the clock tower or is actually the name of the bell contained inside!
Since 1859 when it was completed. It took several years to build.
It took 34 years to build the tower.
clayUsually clay. Kaolin, shale, and minerals are also used to make bricks. If u only use clay it will not be that strong to build a house or something big.
