Birmingham
Title: Place Game
Post by: loulou on June 25, 2006, 11:33:06 pm
In the midst of the city's world famous Jewellery Quarter stands this green painted, cast-iron clock tower. It was one of several tributes to the noted Birmingham politician, Joseph Chamberlain, and was erected in 1903 following his diplomatic visit to South Africa at the end of the Boer War. The clock was made at the nearby Soho Clock Factory. It stands today as a testament to the affection the Birmingham people had for Chamberlain, who did much to improve the city and the lot of its citizens.

Cherry your answer to which photo, if mine no.


It was my answer to Smurfy's question! I don't think it's right though, the Edinburgh one has a rounder roof than the one in the photo.
