Sep 18 - Repair Of Dockyard Clock Tower

This weekend saw the repair of the stone finial and weather vane of the old dockyard clock tower in a project financed by Government but managed by the Gibraltar Heritage Trust.

The heavy stone clock tower finial suffered damage and was removed several years ago when it was noticed to be cracked and in danger of falling. The Trust has been anxious for the finial to be repaired ever since and had kept track of the missing pieces for a long time. Following discussions with Steven Linares, the Minister for Heritage, the Trust was able to find a reasonable quote for the work and arrange this difficult project to be carried out.

The Gibraltar Heritage Trust says it is proud to work with Government on heritage restoration projects.
