Victoria Street Clock Tower, Christchurch – SOLD

Posted on October, 14, 2011 | Leave a comment

It is funny how we happily go around our business without even noticing the little things in life! Since the February Earth Quakes, I have been more aware of my surroundings… I have found for me painting some of the iconic buildings has been a really good way for me to start to heal….

Over the last few weeks I have been obsessed with painting iconic Chch buildings and have just started painting Beautiful the Victoria Street Clock Tower…. and over the years I have driven past this clock so many times, but had not really looked at all the detail until now when I have started to paint it!

These are the latest miniatures of the Victoria St Clock Tower, Christchurch

Once I started to take close notice of all the detail on this magnificent structure I really didn’t realise how really beautiful it really was!

COMMISSIONS ACCEPTED

I just wanted to share some information with you about this beautiful structure.

Jubilee Clock / Victoria Clock Tower

The clock tower was commissioned by the Provincial Council and designed by Benjamin Mountfort. The tower was made in England and received in 147 packages in December 1860. The clock and tower were erected temporarily at the southern end of the Provincial Buildings but proved too heavy for the wooden tower at the southwest corner of the timber debating chamber. The iron tower stood for nearly three years in the courtyard of the Provincial Buildings while the clock itself was placed in the stone tower in Armagh Street and became the first “town clock”. Its face could not be seen but its chimes could be heard on a fine day up to two miles away.After the abolition of the provincial government system in 1876, the clock was presented to the City Council (at the request of the then Mayor, C T Ick) in 1879 and stored in the City Council yard in Worcester Street. It was eventually erected on the corner of High / Manchester Streets in 1897 to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria’s accession – hence the name.In 1930 it was moved to its present site in Victoria Street. Some restoration took place in 1978. Further restoration including structural strengthening, stone masonry repairs, refurbishment of the clock, re-roofing and enhancement of the tower’s architectural details was carried out between June 2003 and February 2004.Information from - http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Heritage/Places/Memorials/JublieeClock/
