Jubilee Clock, Queensferry

Jubilee Clock, Queensferry
The clock tower was built in 1720 and remained so until 1887-88 when it was remodelled to commemorate Queen Victoria's golden jubilee. £200 was to be raised by public voluntary subscription for the clock to be built, and the final amount came to £227, 7 shillings and 6 pence. The clock was lit by gas until the mid 1920s when electric took over. Quoted from Waymarking.com.

I've taken photos of this clock tower from the other direction, Joe. It's an elegant building.

It's a pity, Amelia, about the flats next to the clock tower. They spoil a beautiful High Street. Cheers, Joe

It was a similar story for the Weymouth Jubilee clock Joe. I think it was the same amount raised! The clock tower looks beautiful in that light. I agree with you about the flats. It happens so often doesn't it!? There are a few similar buildings I would love to see demolished. Nice to get the cyclist in the picture too. Cheers, Rosa.

This happens so often in Edinburgh, Rosa, where the juxtaposition of modern and old buildings looks so incongruous. Thanks for your very kind comment. Cheers, Joe

This sequence in b/w shows us some fine details of cities in which time seems to be stopped.
