Clock Tower
Built in 1902, this fine tower once had a building joined to it, known as the Clock School. This was demolished it 1972 to make way for the sports centre, the tower was incorporated into the design. That sports centre was demolished in about 2005 and a new one constructed behind the council offices which is out of view to the right. Many people wanted this tower demolished on both occasions but common sense eventually prevailed.
