Clock and lamp

This Clock stands in the centre of Cobb Gate Car Park in Lyme Regis, acting as a small roundabout.

It is a square four sided structure with a clock face on three of the sides. The fourth side bears an inscription which reads:- "This clock was erected, by public subscription to the memory those associated with this Town who laid down their lives in the 1939 - 1945 war".

Each of the corners of the four sides has gold edging design on it. The three sides with a clock face each has their own individual dedication.

One face is dedicated to Owen Lovell, a former Mayor of the Town.
Another pays tribute to Michael Lewis, he served as Town Clerk and worked for the Council for twenty-seven years. This face is showing here. The third clock face has gold letters and numerals under it, AD 2000, the new millennium, hence referred to as the Millennium Clock.
