The Jubilee Clock
Our inn is easy to find, as it's
just a stone's throw from the large clock on Weymouth Esplanade.
Erected in 1887 to mark the 50th year of Queen Victoria’s
reign the Jubilee Clock was originally positioned on a stone
base on Weymouth sands, but in the 1920s the Esplanade was
built around it to protect the sands from the encroachment
of shingle from the eastern end of the beach.
The clock is one of Weymouth's best-loved landmarks and has
been a meeting place for generations of both locals and visitors.
On New Year's Eve it's the place to be as midnight approaches
and the fancy dressed revellers gather beneath its four faces
to welcome in the New Year.
