The Old Town Clock

Among the landmarks of historic Halifax, none is more recognized than the Old Town Clock. Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, arranged for a turret clock to be manufactured for the Halifax garrison before his return to England in 1800. A three-tiered, irregular octagon tower atop a building of classical Palladian proportions was erected on the glacis bordering Barrack Street (Brunswick Street) to house the clock. The Town Clock officially began keeping time for the garrison on October 20, 1803 and has served the residents of Halifax for over 190 years.
