The New Town Fountain & Clock Tower in Stevenage, England, serves as a significant landmark commemorating the town's designation as the first New Town after World War II. Designed by Leonard Vincent, the clock tower features a striking openwork concrete structure that has become an iconic image of the area, symbolizing the town's development and history.

In addition to its architectural significance, the clock tower is a focal point of the Town Square, adorned with inscriptions and reliefs that celebrate the role of the Stevenage Development Corporation and Queen Elizabeth II's visit in 1959. This monument not only reflects the town's past but also stands as a reminder of the community's evolution over the decades.
