Description


SJ 65 NE FORMER BOROUGH OF CREWE VICTORIA AVENUE

1/59 Clock Tower in Queen's
Park

GV II

Clock tower, 1888 (on inscription). Of red sandstone, brick and
timber. Square stone base with projecting angles, moulded plinth, and
recessed rectangular panels on four faces; the south facing panel has
an inscription and date. These are surmounted by equilateral
triangular panels, with ball flower finials, which contain the heads
of Queen Victoria (North) and members of the Board of the London and
North Western Railway Company. The tower rises first in sandstone,
with chamfered quoins and carved inset arms above each head, then in
brickwork with vertical sinkings to faces and quoins, and stone bands
at three-course intervals. A projecting stone reeded cap supports the
four-faced clock, which has the dials framed in timber, and
equilateral pediments above each clock face. The tower is topped by
an elaborate wrought iron support to a weather vane. Clock tower
donated by employees of the railway company.
