Herne Bay is home to the world's first freestanding purpose-built clock tower. In 1837, Mrs Ann Thwaytes, a wealthy lady from London, donated around £4,000 to build a 75 feet (23 m) clock tower on the town's seafront. #canterbury #clock_tower #clocktower #england #english_heritage #herne_bay #kent #landmark #seafront #uk #worlds_first_free_standing
