Time

The Albert clock is a sandstone memorial constructed between 1865 and 1869 by Fitzpatrick Brothers builders and stands 113 feet tall in a mix of French and Italian Gothic styles.
As a result of being built on wooden piles on marshy, reclaimed land around the River Farset, the top of the tower leans four feet off the perpendicular. This gave rise to the expression that the tower “has the time and the inclination.”
Only in Belfast!
