Description
The Victoria Centre Clock Tower is a former station clock tower, now serving as an ornamental feature. It was built between 1898 and 1900 by A.E. Lambert for the Great Central Railway Company. The tower was retained as part of the Victoria Centre during its redevelopment from 1965 to 1972, designed by Arthur Swift & Partners.
Constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings, the tower is designed in the Baroque Revival style. It has a square shape with three stages, featuring clasping buttresses, a cornice, and a balustrade adorned with corner turrets and balconies. The dome is copper-clad and includes four pedimented round-arched windows, a domed cupola, and a wind vane.
The ground floor showcases an ashlar front with a round-arched recess that contains voussoirs, a panelled door, and an overlight topped with a segmental pediment and a triple keystone. Above this, there is a canted stone oriel window with four lights. The top stage features a flush niche on each side framing a clock dial, complete with a balcony and a segmental pediment supported by brackets.
