This clock tower was constructed in 1907 to designs by Jan F Groll, but was demolished in the mid-1930s after complaints that it was a nuisance to traffic. In the 1990s it was replaced by the obelisk designed by Robert Mylne that had originally stood on the spot since 1771, but which had been removed in 1905 ahead of the clock tower's construction.
