Victoria Tower was designed by Jesse Hartley and was constructed between 1847 and 1848, to commemorate the opening of Salisbury Dock.[1] Its design was based upon an earlier drawing by Philip Hardwick in 1846.[2]
Victoria Tower, which was often referred to as the 'docker's clock', was built as an aid to ships in the port, as it allowed them to set the correct time as they sailed out into the Irish Sea, while its bell warned of impending meteorological changes such as high tide and fog.[3] Upon its completion is also served as a flat for the Pier Master

The shadows from the clouds race across the landscape on Saturday 28th September 2019, but unfortunately just not quickly enough to enable Class 86 86259 'Les Ros' heading the 1Z86 07:10 London Euston to Carlisle 'Cumbrian Coast Express' to be bathed in sunlight against the dark sky hovering over the South Lakes and Kendal. Clearly the sheep at Docker are unaccustomed to classic 'AL6' traction!
