Jubilee Clock, Douglas, Isle of Man - July 22, 2022
Donated by G.W. Dumbell in 1887 as a commemoration of the the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria's reign.
Situated at the foot of the new Victoria Street where it comes out onto the then new Loch Promenade.
Manufactured by Walter Macfarlane & Co. at the Saracen Works, Glasgow. There is one other known clock using the same castings, the Hastings Clock erected at Rotherham in 1912.
It originally had a horse trough and a drinking fountain above which is a plaque of Queen Victoria.
The 8-day clock mechanism used a weight descending in the column - originally the four clock faces were lit by small gas jets.
Both mechanisms now electrified
