Eastgate Clock, Chester

The clock was erected in 1899 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria two years earlier. It was designed by Chester architect, John Douglas and since 1955 it has been a Grade I listed building.

 

It is usually viewed from below at street level but this view is from the Roman walls of the City where it was erected.

 

It is reputed to be the second most photographed clock in the UK after Big Ben.
