Malaysia - Penang - Queen Victoria Memorial Clocktower, George Town
The Queen Victoria Memorial Clocktower at King Edward Place of George Town, Penang Island, was built by local Penang millionaire Cheah Chen Eok in 1897 to commemorate the sixtieth year of the Queen's reign. The tower was sixty feet tall, with each foot for each year of the Queen's reign. Unfortunately, she never visited Penang, nor did she ever live long enough to see her clocktower completed. By the time it was completed in 1902, the Queen had died.
