Clock Tower
The Town Clock structure was built in the late 1800’s. The lower section housed the scales. What had to be weighed (mostly coal for the fishing fleet, lighthouses and local quarry) was placed on the weighbridge and the reading taken from the scales inside. Originally there was just the lower section but the Knight of Kerry decided to make the building more aesthetically acceptable by adding the upper Clock Tower including a four faced clock. In 1990, Knightstown Tidy Towns lead the restoration of the Town Clock and Hut building.
