Abstract:		 Since 1915, a time ball has surmounted the clock tower of Hull's Guildhall, a Grade- II*-listed building (National Heritage List for England 1279708). The Guildhall, built between 1905 and 1915, is located on Alfred Gelder Street; its entrance elevation and the principal face of the tower looks towards Lowgate. The architect Sir Edwin Cooper (1874-1942) added the time ball to the Guildhall's design in 1914-15 at the request of the Corporation of the City and County of Kingston-upon-Hull. This report forms part of the consultation between Hull City Council and Historic England to see how the time ball can be restored to working order.
