Jubilee Clock Tower, Weymouth

It was built and erected in 1888 to commemorate the 1887 Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria and became Grade II Listed in 1974.

[2] Weymouth's Jubilee Clock Tower was built to commemorate Queen Victoria's 50 years of reign in 1887.

The tower was paid for by public subscription, with £100 having been collected during celebrations on Her Majesty's Jubilee day of 21 June 1887.

The Jubilee Committee then approached the council with the idea for the clock tower, which was readily accepted.

In the 1920s, the esplanade was extended around it to protect the beach from the encroachment of shingle from the eastern end, and to provide more promenade space on the seaward side.
