I've seen plenty of pic's of the Albert dock,but only one,or two,which include the clocktower! Just wondered if anyone had any of this,and details of it's history?Must admit, I never knew there was one!

Here's a pic of it from my site Steve complete with the Philip Hardwick Clock Tower.
Some info here on Philip Hardwick.

Thanks for that Ged,great pic',but any idea when it went? As I've said,most pic's dont seem to show it being there! Interesting stuff on Philip Hardwick,too!
Off thread,but an interesting story here,about the fate of another of Philip Hardwick's designs,Euston Arch,in London,which was demolished after much protest,in the early 60's!
Here's a bit more information about the Philip Hardwick's Euston Arch and the campaign to reinstate it. Maybe the Albert Dock Clock Tower's in a river somewhere?
