The Semaphore War Memorial Clock Tower is a beautiful granite tower topped by an Angel representing Peace, carved from Italian marble.
‘The Semaphore Angel’, as she is known, was unveiled in 1925. The granite tower replaced a temporary wood and iron arch over the entrance to the Jetty, which served as a Roll of Honour.
Bearing no names, but just the simple inscription “In Memory of All Who Fell in the Great War, 1914-1918”. The Semaphore Soldiers’ Memorial stands at the shore end of the jetty.
The four-dialled clock with faces 4 ft (1.21m) in diameter is unusual in that, instead of the Roman numerals, each hour is marked by the numeral ‘1’. This gives the dial greater symmetry and a better background, and at night, the clock face is visible from a greater distance.
Located at the end of the jetty on the beautiful Semaphore Foreshore Reserve on the Esplanade at Semaphore the Clock Tower can be seen along Semaphore Road.
