“The Clock Tower is a significant landmark and popular gathering point in Leicester, UK. The Haymarket Memorial Clock Tower was designed by Victorian architect Joseph Goddard, who created some of Leicester's most famous landmarks, including the old Midland Bank building on Granby Street. The tower was built mainly in Ketton stone with a base of Mountsorrel granite and combined column shafts made of polished Peterhead granite and serpentine. Due to its historical significance, the tower was listed as a Grade II building and underwent restoration in 1992. The Clock Tower is located roughly in the centre of the area inside the ring road and is where five major streets meet. The maze of roads makes the junction the most complex in Britain. The Clock Tower is located in the city centre, just a short stroll from the Cathedral and Guildhall.”
