This large clock tower is in the centre of Hokitika, I've been wanting to get a photo of this baby since we moved down. It was initially named as the Westland War Memorial, then the Coronation and War Memorial and was commemorated as the region's contribution to the 2nd Boer War not just for the 4 local men who died but all 130 who also gave their lives. An extra purpose was to provide the town with a well seen clock.
Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Tom's Signs.

It's a beautiful monument, a great attraction for the town.
That is quite a structure for a low rise town like Hokitika.
That's a great clock tower. Well done Hokitika
...first that winter header is GORGEOUS! I see clocks in town and villages here, but never as grand as this one!
That's a very versatile clock tower. Who knows what it is going to memorialize in the future.
