香港前九廣鐵路鐘樓 (黑白版) Former Kowloon-Canton Railway Clock Tower (Mono Version)
九廣鐵路英段於一九一○年十月一日通車。尖沙咀火車站興建工程於一九一三年展開。鐘樓作為車站一部分,至一九一五年建成;而整個車站於一九一六年三月二十八日正式啟用。具愛德華時代古典復興建築風格的鐘樓,以紅磚及花崗岩建成,樓高四十四米,樓頂裝有七米高的避雷針。鐘樓頂部為八角形設計,並築有圓拱形屋頂。紅磚與周邊白色的古典裝飾如卷形扶壁、柱子及檐飾等,形成強烈對比。火車總站於一九七八年拆卸,只留下鐘樓,成為本港的標記。
前九廣鐵路鐘樓於一九九〇年列為古蹟。
The Kowloon-Canton Railway (British Section) commenced operations on 1 October 1910. The construction of the terminus in Tsim Sha Tsui started in 1913; the clock tower was completed in 1915 as part of the complex, and the whole terminus was opened on 28 March 1916. Built with red bricks and granite in the Edwardian Classical Revival style, the clock tower is 44 metres high and surmounted by a 7-metre lightning rod. The upper part of the tower is an octagonal domed turret built of red brickwork that contrasts with the white-painted classical features of scroll-shaped buttresses, columns and cornices. The main terminus building was demolished in 1978; only the clock tower was left, and it has continued to stand as a landmark in Hong Kong.
Former Kowloon-Canton Railway Clock Tower was declared a monument in 1990.
