The Eastgate Clock, Chester

hFF Everyone, and stay safe and dry if possible.

Did you know - the Eastgate Clock is the second most photographed clock in the UK? And can you guess which is the first most photographed clock in the UK?

Installed in 1899, the Eastgate Clock is positioned on the bridge over Eastgate Street in the city of Chester, the original entrance to the Roman fortress of Deva Victrix. The whole structure of the public clock and gateway, as one, is classified as a Grade I listed building. Although the original gate was Roman, the present gate was built in Georgian times to allow coaches through. However, the clock wasn’t added until the Victorian era to celebrate Queen Victoria’s diamond jubilee.

HFF Deatest LGM ~ I didn't know of this clock or its popularity so thanks for the info. I also had failed to notice the renaming of the Tower, so an educational morning for me too.

Enjoy your weekend x
