Description
The clock tower, dated 1915, is located 30 metres west of Number 15 East Drive in Brighton. The ground floor and dressings are made of Portland stone, while the upper sections are constructed from red brick in English bond. The roof is copper. The tower has three stages and is square in plan.
The ground floor features a plain stone dado and heavily rusticated masonry, topped with a storey band and a flat-arched entrance on the west face. The middle stage starts with a smooth stone band before transitioning to red brick, with small camber-arched windows on each side and white stone quoins supporting a projecting cornice between the second and third stages.
The top stage has a stone dado with bell louvres set in segmental-arched openings, and the corners are chamfered back to form an octagonal shape, with an urn marking each corner. The eight-sided upper stage includes Tuscan corner pilasters and an entablature above. The clock face is set within alternating segments of the octagon, and the concave roof is capped with a ball finial.
Above the entrance, under the entablature, there is a bronze plaque that reads: "This Clock Tower was provided out of moneys bequeathed for the purpose by the Corporation of Brighton by the late William Godley, Esq., of this town and was dedicated to the Public Use on the 24th day of June, 1915." Below this inscription is the Borough crest. On the east face of the ground floor, a smaller bronze plaque lists members of the Parks Commission from 1913-14-15, including Alderman J. L. Otter, Mayor, and various councillors and officials.
