There has been a clock tower in Broadstairs since 1897 to celebrate Queen Victoria’s diamond jubilee (60 years on the throne). The original clock tower was destroyed in a fire and the current one was built in 1970 to commemorate Queen Elizabeth 11’s silver jubilee (25 years on the throne).
The clock tower is located by the band stand in Broadstairs and is a pleasant place to sit to overlook the sea, listen to the music being played at the band stand, and to enjoy an ice cream.
