Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower

A famous icon of George Town Penang, Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower is recognizable from afar as it stands at 60 feet tall at King Edward Place (Pesara King Edward) next to Penang Port Commission.

Built in 1897 by a Penang Chinese tycoon - Cheah Chen Eok to commemorate the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria's reign, he spent 35,000 Straits dollars to complete this clock tower in 1902. Sadly, Queen Victoria passed on by 22 January 1901 before the completion of this remarkable tower.

On the base tier lining, it is stated 'This clock tower is presented to Penang by Cheah Chen Eok in commemoration of Her Majesty Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee 1837-1897'.

Three tiers and cupola dome

A metal betel nut sculpture (called as 'buah pinang' in Malaysian Language) was erected right in the middle of the roundabout next the this iconic clock tower. Capturing a shot of both simply means 'The vintage meets The contemporary!'

Dome

I went to the supermarket to collect some onion skins. They came in many shapes, sizes and even colours! I like this shape the best because it looks like a dome. People at the supermarket were puzzled by my "purchase". Of course the onion skins were free. The supermarket did not put a price tag on them.
