This was built in 1933 and was funded by a German Benefactor, why the Germans would want to fund a large clock tower in Southampton was unclear but fund it they did and also gave the exact measurements they wanted it built to and bizarrely measured the distance between the tower and the docks and other local landmarks.
All became cleat in November 1940 when the Luftwaffe bombed Southampton to rubble and left just one thing standing the clock tower.
Call Adolf Hitler many things but he was forward thinking Funding not only autobahns but also massive markers in England for the luftwaffe who were notoriously bad at reading maps to find their targets
The civic centre clock was the first and was followed by the liver buildings in Liverpoo and the Tower of London a joint venture with France |  |

The Civic Centre Clock Tower (The CCCT, should be a Twitter account...) was built with very precise markings between the away ends at The Dell and what would be St Marys. If the away end at SMS were to move, Southampton would fall. It's like our version of the Liver Birds or the ravens at The Tower |  | | |
