The Clock Tower in Chinsurah my home town, situated at the juncture where four roads meet, happened to be once adorned with Tamarisk Trees 
🌲 around it thus giving the place its name, ‘Jhau Tala’. However the last of such trees is said to have been cut down in the year of Indian Independence and has now been replaced by ugly looking concrete buildings mostly for commercial purposes. This beautifully crafted Steel structure is erected on a round base and is hollow within to house the clock machinery inside it. The Clock faces four corners and each of it is adorned by a a lamp shade hanging over it. This iconic clock tower was built in 1914 AD in memory of King 7th Edward, youngest son of Queen Victoria of England. #Sunday #Wanderlust
