Westoning : The Clock Tower
This Clock Tower is well endowed with informative tablets and plaques. It was originally erected by "J.G. Coventry Campion and his wife" (though I doubt that they personally laid the bricks) to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897. It was renovated in both 1975 and 2003 the latter perhaps to mark 50 years since Queen Elizabeth II's coronation.

1970's houses in Sampshill Road, Westoning.
Within 500 metres of these houses, on 11 September 1976 at 07:10, a Texaco petrol tanker overturned in the High Street, caught fire and exploded. Eight houses also caught fire, 21 people were made homeless and 100 more evacuated for ten hours. (The only injuries were to firemen attending the blaze - their fire engine overturned.) Petrol entered the drains and cast iron inspection covers were blown high into the air when the spreading fire ignited the vapour.

Westoning: The Bell public house
Old maps show that the 17th century Bell used to be on the main road going north out of Westoning towards Flitwick. However the modern re-alignment of the High Street has meant that it now fronts onto Greenfield Road. It is a Greene King outlet.
