Stanley Park - Cocker Clock Tour

Mawson proposed a memorial for the park, which led to a competition by the Blackpool Corporation offering a prize of 100 guineas. The winning design was from Lionel Budden of a 26-metre (85 ft) tall clock tower. The name was given as dedication to the first mayor of Blackpool, Dr William Cocker.

Built in ashlar, each side faces almost exactly north, east, south and west, with the door on the northern side. The clock tower encompasses two bronze lionhead drinking fountains and the town’s Progress motto above the doors.
