Berkeley Memorial, Clock and fountain monument in Basseterre, Saint Kitts and Nevis
The Berkeley Memorial stands in the center of the Circus, featuring four clock faces that point toward each street leading from the central intersection.
Built in 1883, this iron structure commemorates Thomas Berkeley Hardtman Berkeley, who served as president of the General Legislative Council during the 1880s.
The memorial marks the central point of Basseterre's main roundabout, which takes inspiration from London's Piccadilly Circus design and architecture.
The memorial functions as both a timekeeper with its four-sided clock and a water fountain, providing a central reference point for navigation through Basseterre.
The structure, manufactured by Glasgow's Sun Foundry, remains the sole surviving example among three similar monuments produced by this Scottish company.
