Grants Clock


There is a clock with 2 faces located on the Promenade in Whitley Bay, close to the junction with South Parade. The clock stands on a large column, set in a semi-circular viewing area, overlooking the Central Lower Promenade and beach. The clock was unveiled by Councillor James Hamilton Grant on the 12th April 1933.[1] The column was originally painted white, and the clock was described as a 'little sister' to St Mary's Lighthouse, which can be seen in the distance. The clock was damaged by Storm Arwen on 27th November, 2021. The clock is included in the List of Buildings, Parks and Gardens of Special Local Architectural or Historic Interest ('Local List') from North Tyneside Council.
