Story

We have met our first target to fix the clock and are now fundraising to restore the tower! At fifty feet it is made of steel, cast iron and bronze and finished with a dolphin weathervane. The distinctive decoration and delicate design add to its rarity as one of the few remaining Victorian clock towers still in its original park setting. We are working in partnership with the Brighton & Hove City Council, who will continue to provide annual servicing and seasonal time changes to the clock.

    Thanks to our incredible community we’ve raised over £4,500! We’re delighted to report that repair work will be done by Gillett and Johnston. Incredibly - the company which made the clock in 1896.

    We have enough for the mechanism and our fab new graphic shows we're over a third of the way to our target of £7500!!! This will cover the initial cost of repair to the mechanism, but another £5k is needed to restore the rest of the clock tower.
