Clock Tower Shopping Mall

Located at the Royal Naval Dockyard, it’s hard to miss this impressive building with its twin clock towers. The two towers on the two sides of the building are 100-foot high, one having a clock that shows the real time and the other with a clock that shows the time of the high tide.

The Clocktower building was built in 1850s as a warehouse for the British Navy which once had an active operation at the dockyard. The walls of the building are some 3-foot thick. Today it’s a major shopping mall at the western part of Bermuda. The upper floor of the ClockTower Mall is now home to the West End Development Corporation (WEDCO) and the Bermuda Corrections Department.

There is a small area near the WEDCO entry way with some old pictures of the Dockyard, etc. But it’s not a gallery ‚ however access is not restricted per say to the public. It is more to make it attractive and interesting if visitors wander up the stairs.

Clocktower mall has quite a few outlets of the major stores of the island that have their main branches in Hamilton City and elsewhere. In 1990, the Clocktower was opened as a shopping mall for the first time with some 10 stores in it. Now the mall with its lower and upper level galleries, have some 25 stores.
