. . . the boat slip on Swanage seafront at sunrise on a cool clear morning. The Wellington Tower in the distance
The clock tower was designed by Arthur Aspital in 1854 as a monument to the Duke of Wellington and was originally sited at the Southern approach to London Bridge in Southwark. It was removed and re-erected in 1868 to its present location by George Burt in the then grounds of the Grove Hotel. The original design by Aspital had a spire until 1904 when it was removed and replaced with the cupola that can be seen todayTags: Seascape
