A clock was added to the building around 1996. On 11 June 2020, the "Colston Tower" lettering was removed from the tower in response to the ongoing George Floyd protests in the United Kingdom. Four days earlier, the nearby statue of Edward Colston had been pulled down and thrown into Bristol Harbour. On 26 November 2020, the building's new name, Beacon Tower, was announced. (en)
