Description

The Clock Tower, built in 1893, is located in Tower Square, Tunstall, Stoke on Trent. It was funded by public subscription to honor the Smith-Child family. The tower is made of yellow terracotta that mimics ashlar masonry. It features a square chamfered pier with a wider base and gableted pilaster buttresses. One side has a small shouldered archway that leads to a stairway, while the other sides have recessed arched panels with inscriptions of the donors' names. Facing the town hall, there is a bust set in a foiled niche with an ornate hood mould above it. The clock is positioned in a square stage with a gableted cap topped by a small fleche. The tower is elevated on steps and is surrounded by cast-iron railings that were cast in Barnstaple.
