This shows the bottom section of Stevenage's iconic clock tower. The panel on the left commemorates Stevenage Development Corporation which had responsibility for planning and building the town between 1946 (when it was first designated as a new town, one of a number in the home counties intended to absorb London 'overspill' population) and 1980. The panel on the right has a bronze relief by Fanta Belsky of Lewis Silkin, Minister for Town and Country Planning in the Attlee government. See also Image
