Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower (尖沙咀鐘樓) is officially known as the Former Kowloon-Canton Railway Clock Tower (前九廣鐵路鐘樓). It is the last surviving structure of the old terminus in Tsim Sha Tsui. Thanks to the petition of Heritage Society and other advocacy groups, the tower was spared from demolition when the old station was moved to the present-day Hung Hom Station in 1975.
It stands at 44 m high (excluding the seven meter lightning rod) at the foot of Salisbury Road.Built out of red bricks and granite, I can’t help but be reminded of Manila City Hall Clock Tower when I first saw it.
