Greenock, Scotland PA15 1
The Beacon Clock Tower, located in Greenock, is a notable landmark characterized by its striking Italianate architecture, completed in 1886. It is part of the Municipal Buildings, which also include the Town Hall and various council offices, and stands tall as a significant feature on the local skyline.
The tower's unique history includes an interruption by local businessman Robert Cowan, who refused to relocate his shop, resulting in a distinctive corner known as Cowan's Corner. Despite facing damage during a bombing raid in 1941, the site remains an iconic symbol of Greenock's rich heritage.
