It was designed by the architect J.C. Sills and opened to the public in 1899.
The tower's construction was funded by public subscription to mark the 60th anniversary of Queen Victoria's reign.
It is built primarily of red brick with limestone dressings and a prominent copper-covered cupola.
The clock mechanism was originally supplied by the firm Gillett & Johnston of Croydon.
The structure underwent significant restoration in the early 2000s to modernize its lighting and maintain the original masonry.
The Jubilee Clock Tower is a Grade II listed landmark located at the entrance to the Skegness foreshore. Constructed in 1898 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, the octagonal structure serves as a primary navigational reference point for the seaside town. The tower features a prominent four-faced clock and is known for its programmable LED lighting displays that illuminate the exterior at night. It is situated on the Lumley Road thoroughfare, marking the transition between the town center and the coastal promenade. The site is a focal point for local public gatherings and seasonal events due to its proximity to the main beach entrance.
From the corner of Lumley Road looking back toward the tower, which allows you to capture the clock face with the coastal atmosphere in the background.
Visit after sunset to view the full range of the tower's colorful LED light displays.
Combine your visit with a walk along the adjacent Grand Parade promenade.
The site is located in a high-traffic pedestrian zone, so expect crowds during peak summer weekends.
Do not expect to climb the tower; it is a solid structure with no public interior access.
