It is located adjacent to theย Rumi Darwaza,ย Bada Imambadaย andย 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 theย Big Benย clock tower of London.Richard Roskell Bayne designed this structure, 67 metres (220ย ft) in height, and it reflectsย Victorianย andย Gothicย 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 tower looks beautiful at night. The lighting has done the trick so far. The whole place looks beautiful. The cleanliness is a miss. Theres also a market around it. You can also rent toy cars for your kids here. Theres a royal bath or bawli next to it.

The clock tower is operational 24 hours and is located right in front of the street which connects you to bada Imambara and Chota Imambara. The story about the place goes something like this. There are only 2 of this structure in the world one is Big Ben and the second one is here. This was made by British with an inspiration taken from Big Ben. This was made in 1881 since its inception there has never been maintenance done. And you see the bird on the top which shows the direction of the wind weighs around 25 kg. Thats lot of gyaan for you guys. Enjoy.

Its the tallest clock tower in India, standing at a height of 67 meters or 219 feet. Constructed in the Victorian and Gothic architectural design, it was built in year 1881. The clock of this tower still functions to this day. Adjoining it is situated the lake, which has 27 steps and two pavilions. It is situated alongside the road and remains open to public throughout. Nearby to it are the Lucknow Picture Gallery and the Satkhanda (a building that had started to be a seven storeyed but its construction halted after fourth storey). The other two buildings are ticketed monuments.

Heritage enthusiasts here demanded their restoration, saying they formed an important part of the cityโ€™s heritage and should be saved on priority basis.โ€œClock towers are a part of our heritage. How can we turn a blind eye to their sorry state? The state government or the agencies concerned should take proper measures to restore the public timekeeper,โ€ said S Mohammed Haider, a heritage activist.

Towersย are a specific type of building which houses aย turret clockย and has one or moreย clock faceson the upper exterior walls. Many clock towers are freestanding structures but they can also adjoin or be located on top of another building.Clock towers are a common sight in many parts of the world with some being iconic buildings. One example is theย Elizabeth Towerย in London (usually called Big Ben, although strictly this name belongs only to the bell inside the tower).

Immediately passing through the Rumi gagte in Lucknow, few meters away you will see a structure erected state with four side clocks in its top, this is known as the Husainabad Clock Tower. I think it is the tallest clock tower in India with the height of 67 meters. While visiting to Bara Imambara then chhota Imambara and Chowk area you will have the opportunity to visit the Clock tower built in this area. It is one of the historical magnificent structure in Lucknow.
