Harlesden jubilee clock

The cast iron Jubilee Clock has remained a Harlesden landmark since its erection at Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee in 1887. It is ornate, decorated with dolphins, armorial bearings, a fluted circular column with spirals, shields of arms and swags. During the late 20th century elements were removed, including the lanterns and the fountain bowls. In 1997 the clock was restored without these elements.

The project involves the restoration of the weathervane and recreation of the original four circular lanterns to the clock. Through HOLT’s intervention, the recreation of the two original fountain bowls, taps and plumbing was added to the project specification, based on archive images.

The fountain will no longer be connected to the mains water supply as originally planned, and the project is now progressing without HOLT’s involvement.
