Clock Tower
A clock tower is an elevated structure with easily observed clock faces. Usually a clock tower has four clock faces, one on each side of the tower. Clock towers are mostly free standing meaning they are not part of any kind of structure. However, there are some clock towers that are part of a church or municipal structures like town halls and capitol buildings.
Clock towers are driven by a mechanism known as turret clock. Most clock towers mark the time by musical sounds or bells every hour. Mostly these alarms are simple musical melodies. These days, clock towers are more often than not admired for aesthetics. However, clock towers once provided vital purposes in the old times because most people in the earlier era do not have timepieces. That is why clock towers are located near the heart of towns or town centers and are usually placed on the tallest building or structure. There are lots of clock towers all over the world. The most famous of them is the Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster or popularly known as the “Big Ben”. The Big Ben is a turret clock tower situated at the north eastern part of the Palace of Westminster or more known as the Westminster Palace in London, England. Big Ben was named after the main bell of the clock tower. Big Ben is also referred to as “St. Stephen’s Tower”.scc971 scc972 scc973 scc974 scc975 scc976 scc977 scc978 scc979 scc980 scc981 scc982 scc983 scc984 scc985 scc986 scc987 scc988 scc989 scc990 scc991 scc992 scc993 scc994 scc995 scc996 scc997 scc998 scc999 scc1000 scc1001 scc1002 scc1003 scc1004 scc1005 scc1006 scc1007 scc1008 scc1009 scc1010 scc1011 scc1012 scc1013 scc1014 scc1015 scc1016 scc1017 scc1018 scc1019 scc1020 scc1021 scc1022 scc1023 scc1024 scc1025 scc1026 scc1027 scc1028 scc1029 scc1030 scc1031 scc1032 scc1033 scc1034 scc1035 scc1036 scc1037 scc1038 scc1039 scc1040 scc1041 scc1042 scc1043 scc1044 scc1045 scc1046 scc1047 scc1048 scc1049 scc1050 scc1051 scc1052 scc1053 scc1054 scc1055 scc1056 scc1057 scc1058 scc1059 scc1060 scc1061 scc1062 scc1063 scc1064 scc1065 scc1066 scc1067 scc1068 scc1069 scc1070 scc1071 scc1072 scc1073 scc1074 scc1075 scc1076 scc1077 scc1078 scc1079 scc1080 scc1081 scc1082 scc1083 scc1084 scc1085 scc1086 scc1087 scc1088 scc1089 scc1090 scc1091 scc1092 scc1093 scc1094 scc1095 scc1096 scc1097 scc1098 scc1099 scc1100 scc1101 scc1102 scc1103 scc1104 scc1105 scc1106 scc1107 scc1108 scc1109 scc1110 scc1111 scc1112 scc1113 scc1114 scc1115 scc1116 scc1117 scc1118 scc1119 scc1120 scc1121 scc1122 scc1123 scc1124 scc1125 scc1126 scc1127 scc1128 scc1129 scc1130 scc1131 scc1132 scc1133 scc1134 scc1135 scc1136 scc1137 scc1138 scc1139 scc1140 scc1141 scc1142 scc1143 scc1144 scc1145 scc1146 scc1147 scc1148 scc1149 scc1150 scc1151 scc1152 scc1153 scc1154 scc1155 scc1156 scc1157 scc1158 scc1159 scc1160 scc1161 scc1162 scc1163 scc1164
