A clock tower at the junction of Jalan Tun Syed Sheh Barakbah and Lebuh Light. Built to commemorate Queen Victoria’s 1897 Jubilee.
This Victoria Memorial Clock Tower was donated by Cheah Chen Eok, a wealthy Penang citizen. The 60ft-high (18.3m) clock tower symbolising 60 years of the Queen’s reign was only completed in 1902 when she had passed away. The tower cost 35,000 Straits Dollars to build.
