The Jubilee Clock Tower, in George Town, Penang, Malaysia, is a Moorish-style Jubilee clocktower at the junction of ''Lebuh Light'' (Light Street) and ''Lebuh Pantai'' (Beach Street). Built to commemorate Queen Victoria's 1897 Diamond Jubilee, the tower is sixty feet tall, one foot for each year of Victoria's reign. A corner of the wall surrounding Fort Cornwallis is situated behind the tower.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=The Victorian Web )〕 The clock tower is slightly tilted, a result of Allied (or Japanese) bombing during the WW2.
