Edward VII Memorial Clock Tower

The Edward VII Memorial Clock Tower is a clock tower built in 1911 by Edmund Kirby, located in Birkenhead. It is constructed from Portland stone and features a stepped base that leads to a rusticated plinth adorned with low relief coats of arms and lions at the corners. Above this, there is a Doric fluted shaft topped with a triglyph frieze and a modillion cornice beneath the clock. The clock is flanked by volutes and has a ribbed cap with an urn and ball finial. A narrow doorway provides access to an internal staircase on one side of the shaft, while the opposite side bears an inscription commemorating the tower's erection by public subscription in memory of King Edward.
