As lots of us won't be accessing the City Centre at the moment, here's a couple of pictures taken earlier in the year of the Time Ball. Can you identify where our photographer was stood? #timeball #hullcitycentre #timeballhull
Fantastic photos of our fellow Time Ball over in New York! Ours also worked via magnetic hold, and was raised 3 minutes before 1pm, GMT. #timeball #timeballhull #navigation #greenwichmeantime
#TitanicLighthouse 'time ball' was a pre-radio aid for synchronizing ship chronometers: 5 minutes before noon it was raised to the top of the rod. (1) At exactly 12 noon EST the magnet's current was cut (2) dropping the ball down to a receiving cup (3) Set your pocket watches!
Our Trainee technician, Simon, is making huge progress with our working Time Ball model which will sit in our interactive STEM learning pod, and be used in schools across the city to teach the history of the ball, as well as how it operates! @HeritageLearn #timeballhull
There are some fantastic sunrises and sunsets around at the moment! I wonder if anyone could capture one over our Time Ball? #sunrise #sunset #timeball #timeballhull #hullguildhall #pictureperfect

It's already been a week since the talented @Brad_Photo came to play our carillon for us! To hear all about why Hull's carillons are so special, listen to our interview with @RadioHumberside at 20 mins #timeballhull #carillon https://t.co/URcFKcc11p
Yesterday we featured on BBC radio Humberside as our carillon was played by @Brad_Photo who is writing a book about carillons in the UK, and how special Hull is to have two! Listen here to the interview and sound of our magnificent bells! #timeballhull

We loved having the Guildhall carillon being played this afternoon! Who else heard it? #timeballhull #carillon #guildhallhull #hullmaritime
If you’re in Hull city centre you might have noticed the unusual ‘bells’. Jonathan Bradley is writing a book about carillons. Hull has 2 - the Minster and The Guildhall @TimeBallHull. He has been playing and photographing them for his book. You’ll want the sound on for this video
It's an exciting day for us! keep your eyes (or rather ears)peeled this afternoon for a real treat from the Guildhall! #timeballhull #guildhallhull #carillon #maritimehymns @HullMaritime
In order to keep precise time, our magnificent Guildhall clock has an electromagnetic pendulum, which alters its speed and allows it to catch up or slow down if it is moving at fractionally the wrong pace! #nlhf #pendulumspacer #guildhallhull #timeball #timeballhull #keepingtime
Well done to our fellow Time Ball in Greenwich! We can't wait for our visit later in the year #timeball #timeballhull #nlhf #guildhallhull
We're chuffed to have won the Best Family Venue Award 2020 for the National Maritime Museum! Thanks @fantasticforfam
We can't wait to see our own restoration project from this fantastic company! #timeball #timeballhull #nlhf
In January, the team was restoring copper convex dials, which were painted black and gold gilded. This process was achieved by using a vinyl template with size applied to the surface. The Size allows the gold leaf to adhere to the dial creating a high-quality finish
