Description
The Clock Tower at HMS Dryad, also known as Southwick House, is a Grade II listed building. It is believed to have been depicted on the Ordnance Survey map of 1810, although it was constructed in an Italianate style around 1840. The clock was made by a London firm called Westwoods and is known to have been repaired and undergone small alterations in 1842.
The tower features a slate roof and is tall and square, consisting of three stages. The lower stage is latticed and rusticated, with round-headed entrances on each side, separated from the next stage by a moulded cornice. The middle stage has two tall round-headed arches on each face and includes a clock with a metal face. The third stage, designed in the Italianate style, has an imitation balustrade at the bottom, two round-headed arched louvred openings on each face, a row of pseudo machicolations, and a pyramidal roof topped with a spire and metal weathervane.
