Former KCR Clock Tower

TIME : 2016/2/17 11:54:52

This 44m-high clock tower (1915) in red-brick and granite was once part of the southern terminus of the Kowloon–Canton Railway (KCR). It was demolished in 1978 after operations moved to the modern train station at Hung Hom, but you can still see what it looked like at the Hong Kong Railway Museum in Tai Po. The clocks began ticking on the afternoon of 22 March 1921 and have not stopped since, except during the Japanese Occupation.
