Victoria Tower at the Entrance to Salisbury Dock, Liverpool
The unmistakable shape of Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral (SJ3590 : Paddy's Wigwam - Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral) can be seen behind the Gothic Revival Victoria clock tower which is sited between the two river entrance gates to the Salisbury Dock at Liverpool.
Victoria Tower, which was often referred to as the 'dockers’ clock', was constructed between 1847 and 1848, as an aid to ships in the port, as it allowed them to set the correct time as they sailed out into the Irish Sea, while its bell warned of impending meteorological changes such as high tide and fog. Upon its completion is also served as a flat for the Pier Master.
The tower is Grade II listed (English Heritage Building ID: 359436 Link
British Listed Buildings).
