With a height of 67meter(220 ft), It is the Tallest clock tower of India build in 1881.Gunmetal is used for building the clock parts. Its gigantic pendulum has a length of 14 feet, and the dial of the clock is designed in the shape of a 12- fully gold flower and bells around it. It was built as a replica to the Big Ben clock tower of London.The clock tower is located adjacent to bada imambara and rumi gate. It is surrounded by a well maintained garden and there is no fee to visit the same.

This is an absolute beauty! This monument literally stands tall in the heritage zone. You can watch this monument from the bank of river Gomti and it looks sublime.The place around the clock tower starts buzzing in the evening and there are parks, amphitheater and pedestrian areas near it. The area close to clock tower is cordoned off and you cannot go very close to it. Nevertheless, you can walk around this place, spend time from the normal routine and you won’t be disappointed!

This tower 🗼 is very old and hugeHusainabad Clock Tower is a clock tower located in the Lucknow city of India. It was constructed in 1881 by Hussainabad Trust to mark the arrival of Sir George Couper, the first lieutenant governor of United Province of Avadh. It was built at a cost of Rs. 1.75 lakhs.It is located adjacent to the Rumi Darwaza, Bada Imambada and Teele Wali Masjid. Built-in the year 1881, Husainabad Clock Tower is adjudged as the tallest among all the clock towers in India. it was built as a replica to the Big Ben clock tower of London.Richard Roskell Bayne designed this structure, 67 metres (220 ft) in height, and it reflects Victorian and Gothic style structural designs. Gunmetal is used for building the clock parts. Its gigantic pendulum has a length of 14 feet, and the dial of the clock is designed in the shape of a 12- fully gold flower and bells around it.In 2010, the district administration decided to replace the clock. But then two samaritans Captain Paritosh Chauhan and Akhilesh Agarwal approached the administration to allow them to repair it so that the mechanical clock is not replaced with an electronic one. It was Captain Chauhans passion and love for his city that he requested the then DM, Amit Ghosh to give him a chance to repair it. They worked on it for three years and reconstructed the entire clock on a pro bono basis.On 13 April 2010, they began working and were able to make the defunct clock functional by 28 October 2010. Finally, on 13 September 2011, they made the giant clock tower chime, after a silence of 27 long years.

The iconic clock tower in Lucknow was constructed by the Hussainabad trust in 1881.... Since then, it has seen major transformations but the soul of the clock tower is still the same... The area near the clock tower was revamped by the district administration few years before... It is one of the top spots for outing for locals as well as tourists...

Clock towers are a specific type of structure which house a turret clock and have one or more clock faces on the upper exterior walls. Many clock towers are freestanding structures but they can also adjoin or be located on top of another building. Some other buildings also have clock faces on their exterior but these structures serve other main functions.Good

This is the tallest clock tower in India. This skyscraper was built in 1881 by the Hussainabad Trust. It was built to welcome the first Lieutenant Governor of Awadh, George Cooper. The entire building was designed by Mr. R.R. Bayne of Calcutta. Its construction started during the period of Mohammad Ali Shah, the third king of Awadh.Entitled as the ‘Tallest Clock Tower of India‘, Husainabad Clock Tower is really worth a visit. It is situated approximately 4.8 km away from the city center (Hazratganj) in the old Lucknow.It is a true replica of Big Ben Clock Tower of London and also known as Ghanta Ghar in the local language. The famous Rumi Gate (Turkish Gate) is adjacent to this clock tower.
