Morpeth Clock Tower at the Market Place.
Title: Oldgate Morpeth.
Production date: 19th century.
Size: 26x19 cms.
Condition: good.
The Clock Tower was constructed sometime between 1604 and 1634 out of recycled Medieval stone giving it its much older appearance. The stone was thought to come from a gatehouse that previously stood at the west end of Oldgate. However, it is more likely to have been built out of stone from the nearby ruined Newminster Abbey which was dissolved in 1537.
