Cast Iron Clock-Tower for Geelong, 1854. Creator: Unknown

Cast Iron Clock-Tower for Geelong [in Australia], 1854....The height...including the nave and base, is about sixty feet; and the width of the shaft about seven feet. It is formed of a frame-work of iron; between the framings are inserted stout tiles, made by Minton...The balustrades and footway of the gallery are of iron-work, of elegant design. The doorway at the base is in the Moorish style. The Tower can only be used for the one purpose - viz. for the Clock, as a good space will be oocupied by the weights, &c. From the base project four lamps. The iron-work has been executed from the design of Mr. James Edmeston, architect, by Messrs. Silvester and Co. of Great Russell- street, Bloomsbury. The Clock has four illuminated dials, and has been constructed by Messrs. Moore, of Clerkenwell-close. It is a gift to the town from Mr. James Austin, the second Mayor of Geelong'.
