Stourbridge Town Clock.

This is probably the best known landmark in the town and was even made here! Built in 1857, the grade two listed town clock had a full restoration in 2007. The column was built at the Stourbridge Ironworks and was designed by engineer William Milward. For many years the clock was painted green but for the renovation the decision was made to change the colour to dark blue and gold, the colours of the Stourbridge coat of arms.

We passed it today on our way home from our Sunday lunch with friends at a nearby Italian restaurant. Unfortunately it doesn't look at its best at the moment due to the alleged improvements taking place in the town centre at present.
