The Clock Tower (sometimes called the Jubilee Clock Tower) is a free-standing clock tower in the centre of Brighton, part of the English city of Brighton and Hove. Built in 1888 in commemoration of Queen Victoria`s Golden Jubilee, the distinctive structure included innovative structural features and became a landmark in the popular and fashionable seaside resort. The city`s residents "retain a nostalgic affection" for it, even though opinion is sharply divided as to the tower`s architectural merit. English Heritage has listed the clock tower at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance.
