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
Hickson's point Bar, Titanic Quarter Belfast. Not the usual Belfast mural it was painted by local artists Terry Bradley and Friz.
Standing alongside the Salisbury Dock in Liverpool the "Victoria Tower" built aid ships in dock along the River Mersey
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!

A day I remember very well. Having arrived in good time in clear blue skies to capture 4S43, the Tesco Express from Rugby to Mossend, I learnt that 92017 was a late departure. Running about 60 late, clouds were bubbling and gave moments of great concern as the train approached. Needn't have panicked. 22/7/10
