Old Town Clock
Where Profile
This Halifax landmark has watched over the city ever since its workings arrived from England in 1803. The dashing Duke of Kent, head of the garrison at Halifax from 1794 to 1800 and eventual father of Queen Victoria, designed this timepiece to keep the garrison and townspeople punctual. Now a Halifax icon, the clock is located at the base of Citadel Hill (on Brunswick Street at the top of George Street).
