The Newbury Clock Tower - or Clock House - was first built in 1889 to celebrate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee two years earlier; in 1929 it is replaced with the present Clock House. Each of the three sides, above the clock face, displays a different date. This side shows G. IV. R. 1825 - probably referring to King George IV who reigned from 1820-1830.
