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

The Victoria Clock Tower is a 40 ft (12.2 m) Gothic-style tower in Foxdale, built of local stone with concrete corner pieces and decorative features. It has eight supporting buttresses at its base and two 5 ft (1.5 m) iron clock faces filled with opal, supplied by J.B. Joyce & Co. of Whitchurch, Shropshire. It was designed by John Nicholls, engineer of the Isle of Man Mining Company.

The Isle of Man Mining Company commissioned and paid for the tower, which was completed and dedicated on 16 May 1901, when James Mackee, the company chairman, unveiled a marble tablet as the clock struck six. It is said to have been the first memorial in the British Empire dedicated to Queen Victoria's 64-year reign. After the company was wound up in 1912, the tower was sold at liquidation and bought by a Mr. Kerruish, who gave it back to the village of Foxdale.

The tower displays a marble tablet with inscriptions honoring Queen Victoria and directors of the Isle of Man Mining Company. This dedication reflects how central the mining industry was to the community.

The tower stands in central Foxdale and is easy to reach, as it was positioned to be visible from every corner of the village. Visitors can explore the site and surroundings during daylight without any special preparation.

In 1912, Mr. Kerruish purchased the tower during the mining company's liquidation sale and returned it to the community. This rescue preserved the memorial from loss and made it a lasting part of village life.
