Nice clock tower.. I checked it out because I was in the area

It’s very very nice but the circle road yet to be repaired Penang road are good

The construction of Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower commenced in 1897 in conjunction with the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria's reign. It was fully funded by a local businessman, Cheah Chen Eok. The design is Moorish and has 3 stories. It was slightly damaged in the 2 world war by the Imperial Japanese aerial bombardments. The tower has since tilted. Bring along a pendulum and you will be able to witness. The height of the tower is always said to be 60 feet. In actual fact, 60 feet is the height measured from the base to the centre of the clock. A foot for a year for the commemoration of the Diamond Jubilee of 60 years. In fact, it was the year 1897 that was intended and 97 behind the actual determination of the height. Full height of the tower till the tip of the cupola is 97 feet. Killing two birds with a stone, making more parties happy. Why not?

Possibly the oldest working clock tower in the country, noted that it was built in 1897 by a local Chinese businessman to commemorate Queen Victoria 60th year reign. The clock tower stands proudly admit the blazing sun and torrential rain for over a century facing these torrid conditions. I am sure not many will notice least give any attention to this historical piece of landmark. The younger generations have no given interest as in the local authority, in time to come it will be forgotten and remain a white elephant. The beauty of this piece of fine architectural work is the correct time it displayed and the solid structure that holds it through the years of corrosion. It needs to be made known of the royal connection it holds and not simply another clock tower. I managed to capture the scripted commemoration written of the wall of the clock tower on the 1st. of May 2022 which I didn't notice earlier. This is a living proof that history has to acknowledge.

We walked past this during a midday stroll. It's a rather beautiful clock tower. According to my rather well read hubby, the clock tower was built to commemorate Queen Victoria's' jubilee in 1897. At the centre it is 60 feet hight - 1 foot for each year of Victoria's reign. It was donated to George Town by Cheah Chen Eok a local business man and entrepreneur.

The treet is clean, the weather always hot, the people kindly...a lot kind of food to try...

A place e showcasing the colonization history of the place Penang...

Initially, I was a bit confused because there were 2 marked locations with 2 different names on Google Maps: Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower and Jubilee Clock Tower (at the roundabout). However, according to the information on Wikipedia, both names refer to the same structure. After researching, I found out that originally, in 1897, only the tower was built. In 2005, it was renovated, added neon lights and a giant iron sphere at the roundabout. The clock tower was constructed by a local millionaire (Cheah Chen Eok), to commemorate the 60-year reign of Queen Victoria. It combines elements of the British clock tower and Moorish-style architecture. The tower is 60 feet high, with each foot symbolizing a year of the reign. However, Queen Victoria passed away in 1901 before the completion of the tower in 1902. The tower is slightly tilted, which is the result of the bombings in Penang in World War II.

One of the interesting colonial landmarks in Georgetown is the Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower (Jubilee Clock Tower) found in the centre of the small roundabout at King Edward's Place, at the junction of Light Street and Beach Street come together. It is just south of Fort Cornwallis and quite simple to find. The tower was built in 1897 to commemorate the jubilee celebration of Queen Victoria. The base level is octagonal in shape, followed by two four-sided tiers with decorative windows and clock faces, followed by a last level of Romanesque pillars, topped by a Moorish style dome and spire. The clock tower is an interesting design and has the appearance of a layered cake, similar to some of the Christopher Wren churches in London. Interestingly, there is a metal sculpture of a betel nut sharing space with the clock tower in the roundabout green. It is contemporary design and is supposed to represent a local Pinang fruit, This sculpture is surrounded by waterspouts and makes for a stark contrast to the earlier period clock tower. The Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower and the Betel Nut sculpture can be seen in just a few minutes, before or after visiting nearby Fort Cornwallis or other attractions in this area of George Town, Penang.

Located in Penang, the Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower stands tall as a captivating heritage site. With its intricate architecture and historical significance, it offers a glimpse into the region's past. Visitors are enchanted by its charm and picturesque setting, making it a must-see attraction in Penang. The clock tower serves as a testament to the colonial era and Queen Victoria's reign. As you explore the city, make sure to include this majestic landmark in your itinerary for a delightful journey through time.

Beautiful white clock tower at the roundabout near the chamber of commerce. Overall not really well maintained- plants growing from the cement, dull plaque, and not a lot of usage since its in a roundabout. But nice sight to see.

Just a normal clock tower to be exact, as well as a monument dedicated to Queen Victoria. Even when the clock's working, but it's quite small. No people will look into the time on the clock face anyway. The tower also looks like not well-maintained, even when it is located in the hustle and bustle of the old part of George Town City. Honestly, not many will stop and look upon the tower itself; no places or car parks for people to stop and appreciate the architecture itself as it is at the roundabout in the middle of the road where people will obviously focus on their driving. Maybe if the road around the clock tower is closed for recreational purposes, that will be okay, but obviously other unwanted problems realting to the traffic jam will arise afterwards.

All of the Memorial Day celebration at work now

A beautiful colonial clock tower along the coast of Georgetown. There’s amazing pictures in the local museum of the scene during its prime and it’s crazy to see the amount of shipping and traffic that existed. The shoreline has also been changed as the clock tower was practically on the water’s edge.

The design mixes an English bell tower and a Muslim Moorish dome, located at the intersection of Wright Street and Turk Street. This large clock tower was established in 1897 by the local Chinese businessman Xie Zengyu in Penang to celebrate the Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee celebration. The clock tower is 60 feet high, and each foot represents a year in which the Queen reigned to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Queen Victoria ’s reign. Behind the clock tower is a corner of Fort Cornwallis. The bell tower of the old Guanzijiao is slightly tilted as a consequence of the bombing of the Allied forces during the Second World War.

Nice to see

It is just a clock tower in the middle of a roundabout, nothing more. Gleaning white color, seems to be well kept. The clock still gives correct time

It's just a clock. But a beautiful one.

Nice building, but you can only have a look from outside and take a picture, but as the surrounding is not sooo nice, I don't consider it a must see unless you are on the way to the Penang-Langkawi ferry anyway.

Renovated Clock Tower, do considering to walk around the area whilst visiting other landmarks of Georgetown

Awesome..!

Being one of the landmarks and attractions in Penang, the Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower is a testament to Penang’s royal connections. Commissioned in 1897 by a local millionaire, Cheah Chen Eok, to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, it stands 60ft-high, with each foot representing a year of the Queen’s 60-year reign. There are plenty of streets and landmarks all over the island named after blue bloods but The Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower, set on King Edward’s Place in Georgetown, is one of its best known. Interesting fact: although it is hardly noticeable, due to the impact from bombs being dropped around it during WWII, The Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower leans to one side, much like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Located south of Fort Cornwallis, The Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower was built at a cost of 35,000 Straits dollars and the gleaming whitewashed tower is topped by a Moorish dome. It has four tiers: the base is octagon-shaped and the following two tiers comprise four distinct sections with elaborate windows, balconies and a working clock on each side. The topmost tier is rounded off with Roman pillars and topped with a golden dome cupola. The six steps leading up to the main entrance denote the number of decades of Queen Victoria's reign. Right beside The Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower is a 48m-high Pinang structure (a metal betel nut sculpture), which looks like two halves of the Pinang fruit.

Beautiful British heritage!

Worth stopping for a pic. Might make a good wall picture for your home.

Iconic and historic clock tower located near north eastern coastline in Georgetown. Built on the 60th anniversary of Queen Victoria of England, the clock tower has height of 60 meters to celebrate the diamond jubilee.

One of the first sights you get to see if you come into Georgetown by ferry. Very well maintained.

Good architecture stands in The middle of busy square. A moderate design on it. Simplicity is the Beauty of this memorial. It was bombed during WW-II and hence domb of it was destroied and it is little tilted if you notice it properly. If u are visiting port it is bound to happen that u will see this 😊

It is a great experience to visit this place. There is a lot of beautiful building and structure around this place and there are a lot of interesting things in the town like street arts, beaches, and museums. I recommend you to visit this place once.

Thank you Sante International. I visit Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower. One of the Fascinating historical building in Pulau Penang.

Beautiful clock tower in spectacular Georgetown.

Great spot to relax in the evening, with amazing purple sunset and calm atmosphere. Worth stopping by to have a break after a long tour

Nice for taking picture with this memorial building.

Nice place to hang around, near the cruise port

(Translated by Google) This was established in 1897 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Queen Victoria’s accession to the throne. Cheah Chen Eok, a wealthy businessman who was favored by the British colonial government, was delayed until 1902. The handover was completed, and the queen has died. one Year. The Big Clock Tower is a combination of British colonial style and Indian Muslim-Moorish architecture. It is divided into four floors. The bottom floor is octagonal. The upper two floors are square. Each side of the third floor is equipped with a clock. Angular, with eight short pillars topped with a green onion top. The building is 60 feet high, representing the 60th anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne, facing Beach Street (Beach Street) is the front, there is a ladder and a door. If you look closely, you will find that the big clock tower is slightly inclined, which is a sequelae of Japanese fighter planes during World War II. (Original) 这是当年为了纪念英国维多利亚女王登基60周年而建立的，也就是1897那一年，当时受英殖民政府属意的富商谢增煜（Cheah Chen Eok）却拖到1902年才建好移交，女王都已经去世一年了。 大钟楼是结合英式殖民风和印度回教摩尔式的建筑，共分四层，底层八角形，往上两层都是四方形，第三层的每一面都装上时钟，最高一层回复八角形，以八根短柱顶着一个大葱顶。楼高60尺，代表女王登基60周年，对着土库街（Beach Street）的方向是正面，有一个阶梯和一扇门。如果你仔细观察，会发觉大钟楼有一点倾斜，那是二战时期日本战机留下的后遗症。

Classic !

(Translated by Google) It is said that it is a clock tower built to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Queen Victoria's coronation. It's a building that symbolizes British occupation, but I don't know if it's because of that, but I get the impression that Georgetown is a city where iced tea is cheap and delicious. It was a cozy and easy-to-walk place, including iced tea. I visited there long ago during my trip to Southeast Asia. Although it is a characteristic of Malaysia itself, India, China, Murray, and the United Kingdom coexist without quarreling, and this city is particularly exquisite. There were Buddhist temples, Hindu temples, mosques, Christian churches, and there was no sense of incongruity, and there was an atmosphere that seemed to be accepted even when traveling alone. (Original) ビクトリア女王即位60周年を記念して造られた時計台だそうです。 イギリス占領を象徴する建物ですが、そのせいかどうか判りませんけど、ジョージタウンはアイスティーが安くて美味しい街という印象があります。アイスティーを含めて居心地の良い散歩しやすい所でした。 ずっと以前、東南アジア旅行中に訪れました。マレーシア自体の特色でもありますが、インド、中国、マレー、イギリスが混ざりきらず喧嘩せずに共存していて、この街は特に絶妙な感じです。仏教寺院、ヒンズー教寺院、モスク、キリスト教会、違和感なくあって、独り旅でもなんだかすんなり受け入れてもらえそうな雰囲気がありました。

1837 - 1897

Photoshoot place

Just a photo stop. Nothing much to explore

Visited back in Jan. This clock tower was commissioned to celebrate the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria. As clock towers go, this one is pretty standard and as I was heading towards Fort Cornwallis anyway, it was only a small detour to get the obligatory photo of this clock tower. The main points of interest about this is that it’s built in an Indo-Islamic style, but with a pale blue and white colour scheme. An unusual combination.

(Translated by Google) The Clock Tower is located in the middle of the road near Fort Cornwallis. I don't know if you can go up or not. (Original) Menara Jam ini terletak di tengah jalan dekat Fort Cornwallis. Gak tahu bisa naik ke atas atau nggak.

Colonial style below with a Moorish tower cap. Snow white and beautiful to look at. On the other hand, you will only spend a few minutes here for a photo stop, because unfortunately you cannot climb the tower. It is located between the roundabout and the ferry terminal.

Auf der anderen Seite wird man hier nur ein paar Minuten für einen Foto-Stop verbringen, denn man kann den Turm leider nicht besteigen. Er liegt zwischen Kreisverkehr und Fähr-Terminal.
