A look at the Jubilee Clock in Maidenhead on Saturday 14th August 2021.
The Jubilee Clock was built as part of the nation's celebrations for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897.
Building started in 1897 using money from public donations and the foundation stone was laid by then-mayor John Truscott on 7th November 1899. The tower was designed by local architect E J Shrewsbury, who designed many of the town's churches including St Peter's in Furze Platt plus the Technical Institute on Marlow Road. The clock tower was built by Charles Cox & Son; Charles Cox was the town mayor on several occasions.
The tower is approximately 14 m (45 ft) tall and has four illuminated clock faces each facing the four compass points. A diamond pattern on the clock faces commemorates the clock's function. The clocks were donated by Mr G. A. Battcock; they were made and foxed by Smith of Derby Group. A single bell chimes on the hour.
