A look at Colchester Town Hall clock on Saturday 6th July 2019.
The town hall was built 1898 and 1902 and was opened in May 1902 by the Prime Minister the Earl of Rosebery. It has been a Grade I listed building since 1968. The tower, is 162 feet tall and houses Colchester's oldest bell (cast somewhere between 1380 and 1405) although not used to ring the hours. The five bells which are used for the westminster chimes and the hour were cast by John Warners Foundry in London and installed in 1901.
