Description
The Clock Tower is a late 19th-century building constructed of red brick with stone dressings. It was originally a fire station and features a central lantern clock tower topped with bracketed eaves and a spirelet with a weathervane. To the right, there is a two-storey gabled section that is set forward, which has three windows on the first floor, a modern shop front at ground level, and three carved heads positioned in the facade just above the new fascia. To the left, there is another gabled section, but this one is single storey, likely of a later date, and has been converted into public lavatories.
Local climate
The Clock Tower sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 92% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 90% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 64% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
