Victoria Clock Tower, Isle of Man, Clock tower in Foxdale, Isle of Man.

The Victoria Clock Tower rises 40 feet high, constructed with local stone and features eight buttresses supporting its base with concrete corner pieces.

The Isle of Man Mining Company commissioned this tower in 1901, making it the first memorial in the British Empire dedicated to Queen Victoria's reign.

The clock tower holds a marble tablet with inscriptions honoring Queen Victoria and names of the Isle of Man Mining Company directors.

The tower's location was selected to ensure the clock remained visible from every point in Foxdale village, providing time reference to residents.

In 1912, during the mining company's liquidation sale, Mr. Kerruish purchased the clock tower and returned it to the Foxdale community.
