McKee Clock, Clock tower near marina gardens in Bangor, Northern Ireland.
The McKee Clock stands at the foot of High Street within the marina's sunken gardens, featuring traditional architectural elements and a prominent timepiece.
Built in 1915 with stones from Ballycullen quarry near Newtownards, the clock tower was funded by William McKee, a local rates collector who donated £200.
The clock tower bears a black granite slab commemorating James McKee and includes an inscription from the Bangor Urban District Council from July 1915.
The McKee Clock serves as a central meeting point in Bangor, with multiple transportation connections and nearby establishments for visitors to explore.
During World War II, the clock tower remained standing despite being struck by a Luftwaffe bomb, demonstrating its structural resilience.
