Great George swinging
Great George was rung on 24th May 2009 to mark the centenary celebrations of the University of Bristol. The nine-and-a-half ton bell is very rarely swung and when it is, it produces a deafening sound.
It is normally struck by a mechanical clock hammer on the hour. The photos here show the bell being swung by members of the University of Bristol Society of Change Ringers (UBSCR).
