The Grade II Listed The Clock House, located alongside the Afon Mawddach (River Mawddach) estuary, close to Barmouth in Gwynedd, North Wales.
An eclectic Victorian Gothic house built by the Lowe family, mill-owners from the West Midlands; the main, central section dates from 1844, to which additions including a striking clock tower were added 1890-1900.
When the railway first came to the area and started the transformation of Barmouth (Abermaw) from a shipbuilding, fishing and trading rural community to a Victorian seaside resort destination.
The building was constructed on stone rubble quarried from the immediate surroundings of shale rock and adopted a vernacular style to blend with Coes Faen Hall across the road.
