Review:
Standing sentry in the heart of Christchurch, the Victoria Clock Tower is an architectural landmark and much-loved icon of the city. Also known as the Diamond Jubilee Clock Tower, the heritage-registered clock tower was designed by Benjamin Mountfort, constructed in Coventry, England in 1860 and sent to Christchurch in 142 packages. The clock tower was seriously damaged during the earthquake that hit the city in 2011, which stopped the clock face at 12:51. After being lovingly restored to its former glory, the Clock Tower was fitted with a time capsule for future generations to discover. The Victoria Clock Tower now stands proudly on the corner of Montreal and Victoria Streets.
