The Clock Tower at St. Anne's Park, located in Raheny, is an iconic four-story brick structure built in 1850. The tower is most notable for its large bell, which measures nearly 1.2 meters across and bears the name of Benjamin Lee Guinness along with the family motto, "Spes Mea in Deo" ("My Hope is in God"). Originally, access to the tower’s upper floors was provided by an external staircase, now removed, and internal ladders. It remains a striking example of 19th-century architecture in a park known for its historical follies and natural beauty.
