A Victorian Clock Tower is located in the heart of the Triangle shopping centre in Clevedon, Somerset, England.[2] It has been designated as a Grade II listed building.[1]
The clock tower was given to the town in the late 19th century by Sir Charles Elton to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria,[3] and is decorated with Elton Ware pottery tiles, and an image of Father Time,[4] also made from Elton Ware pottery,[5] provided by his grandson Sir Edmund Elton, both residents of nearby Clevedon Court. At the base of the tower is a drinking fountain, but it has been out of use for many years.
