Clock Tower, Grade II listed clock tower in central Brighton, England.
The Clock Tower rises 27.9 meters high, constructed with a pink granite base and Portland stone upper sections with decorative pilasters and balusters.
Built in 1888, this timepiece commemorates Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee and received funding from James Willing, whose name appears on the clock faces.
The tower features feminine statues at its base corners and directional inscriptions pointing toward the railway station, Kemp Town, the sea, and Hove.
Located at the intersection of major streets in Brighton, the Clock Tower functions as a central navigation point with its 1.5-meter diameter clock faces.
Local engineer Magnus Volk installed a time ball mechanism shortly after construction, which ceased operation following noise complaints from residents.
