Eastgate Clock

The Eastgate Clock is a turret clock built above the Eastgate of the ancient walls of Chester, north-west England. Although the original gate was Roman, the present gate was built in Georgian times to allow coaches through. However, the clock wasn't added until the Victorian era to celebrate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee. The clock is considered a landmark of Chester, and is the second most photographed timepiece in the United Kingdom after the Clock Tower, Palace of Westminster, popularly known as Big Ben. Eastgate with its clock is a Grade I listed building.
