The Eastgate Clock, Chester

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

It's a pity you didn't have more time in Chester, Christel. It's possible to walk around most of the city n the walls, there are some lovely shops and a good cathedral too.

Thank you for your link. A lovely photo.

Hi Amelia, I walked right over that bridge a couple of weeks ago. Walking the Chester walls was great fun and the views of the river were amazing. Thanks for the info regarding the clock, I found it really interesting.

A very well composed townscape, Amelia. I have been here a couple of times; once for a football matched, which ended in a 1-1 draw, I went to the greyhound racing here. I was bored witless, and have never made a second visit 'tae the dugs'. Best wishes, Joe

Amelia club has replied to Joe, Son of the Rock club
Was the greyhound racing on the horse race course, Joe? I have never been either to the dugs or the nags, but have inadvertently visited on a horse racing day. Watching the antics of the race goers in their fancy clothes with a few drinks inside them was something to behold. LOL
