Illustration by Andrew Cadey

The clock tower was conceived as part of Chrisp Street Market, a pedestrianised shopping precinct and open-air market place, designed in 1949 by Frederick Gibberd as the commercial centre of the new Lansbury estate and a key element of the Live Architecture Exhibition held as part of the Festival of Britain.

It is a striking example of early post-war architecture and a primary example of the aesthetic which became known as ‘Festival style’.
