The Wellington clock tower was originally installed at the end of London Bridge in but was removed only years later as it was an obstruction to traffic. The tower was brought to Swanage by George Burt. Below the tower, which stands on private land, is a small pillbox from WWII, one of several wartime structures around Peveril Point.
