The Clock House, Ramsgate ? tower
Built 1817, design by Benjamin Wyatt and George Louch, altered later by John Rennie. Listed Grade II*.
Note the inscriptions. An accurate clock was essential before the days of wireless to enable mariners to set the time of their chronometers. For British sailors charts were based on the Greenwich meridian, and therefore GMT was essential. Equally important was to tell local people how that time differed from their local time, based on local noon.
