Eccles

The 1937 building is of neo-classical style. Its most impressive feature is the clock tower, which is nearly 38m high and is 1.7m2 at its base. The clock face on each side of the tower is 2.7m in diameter. The digits of the clock are plain rectangular blocks of bronze, measuring 35x10cm and were covered in gold leaf.
