Victoria Tower aka The Dockers Clock at Stanley Dock, Liverpool. Designed by Jesse Hartley from a drawing by Philip Hardwick of Doric Arch and Curzon Street fame. The structure was completed in 1848 and allowed ships to set their timepieces when setting sail with a bell provided to warn of impending meteorological changes, a flat for the Pier Master was also incorporated into the structure. Sadly now derelict although it was added to the Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest with Grade II status in 1975.

One of the privately owned diesels which handled what little freight traffic was left is visible behind the Mark 2 Escort (I think!).
