The Jubilee Clock ~ Weymouth

The Jubilee Clock ~ Weymouth
The Jubilee Clock Tower is a free-standing clock tower on the Esplanade of Weymouth, Dorset. It was built in 1888 to commemorate the Golden jubilee of Queen Victoria and became Grade II Listed in 1974. Historic England described the clock as being a "florid but characteristic enrichment to the sea-front" and "boldy coloured". It is built of cast and wrought-iron and set on a Portland stone base.

Yes it's very colourful and recently restored Peter. There used to be a tramway along the quayside but just the tracks remain now unfortunately. No sparklers for me tonight :) Hope you enjoy yours!

Very reminiscent of Weymouth, many buildings have that Victorian touch to them, one of my favourite resorts.

I love the colours of the clock tower, Rosa. I love also the way the light strikes the facades of the tower. Cheers, Joe

Thank you for your kind comments Joe. The previous time I was in Weymouth, the clock had scaffolding and plastic sheeting around it, so it was good to see the results. Cheers, Rosa.

That is a beautiful old clock Rosa. A touch "over the top" decoratively, but perfect for the seaside setting I think. You've captured it perfectly in that lovely light!

I think you're right about the setting Keith. Many thanks for your kind comments.

It certainly is a striking clock tower, both in design and colour. Good that it's being preserved.

A lovely shot of the clock Rosa and you had much better weather than when we last visited. I took a picture but there was quite a lot of traffic behind it and it wasn't anywhere near this good. Enjoy the rest of your week

Thank you Carol. We usually take Sophie to Weymouth during half term and have been very lucky with the weather on most occasions. In fact I can only remember one rainy day. Heavy showers here today. Best to stay in I think :)
