    The tower, which is mostly made of sandstone, was built between 1865 and 1870 as a memorial to Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who died in 1861.

    The tower was designed by the architect William J. Barre and its architectural style is described as a mixture of French and Italian Gothic.
    Due to a subsidence of the building site, the tower leans slightly to one side, which has earned it the nickname "Belfast's Leaning Tower of Pisa" among the population.

    Erected in 1865 in Gothic style to commemorate Queen Victoria's consort, Prince Albert, the Albert Memorial Clock was built on reclaimed land from the River Lagan on wooden piles, causing the characteristic list. At 113ft, it was tall enough to offer an excellent vantage point for at least one enterprising sightseer to get a birds-eye view of Titanic's launch.

    The Albert Clock features a statue of Prince Albert as well as ornately carved crowned lions and floral decorations and a two-tonne bell inside.
