Description
The Clock Tower, built in 1861 by Oliver and Lamb, is a Grade II listed structure located on Front Street in Tynemouth. This tower serves as both a clock and a drinking fountain, designed in the Venetian Gothic style. It features a tall square structure made of polychrome brick and ashlar, topped with lead roofs. The east side has an 8-panelled door, while low brick pilasters support two-centred arches over granite bowls on the north and south sides. A nailhead band runs beneath the upper lancets, and corner nook shafts lead to bracketed canopies. The clock faces are situated in the upper stage, beneath a bracketed pyramidal roof.
