Secunderabad Clock Tower

Located in the Secunderabad, Hyderabad, Secunderabad Clock Tower was constructed in 1860.

Secunderabad Clock Tower was built to honour the progress achieved by the British officers stationed at Secunderabad Cantonment in Hyderabad.

The tower was inaugurated by Resident Sir Trevor John Chichele Plowden on 1 February 1897.

Reaching upto the height of 120 ft, the Secunderabad Clock Tower is constructed on 10 acres of land.

The Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad was planning to demolish the tower in 2003 in order to accommodate the increasing traffic, following which the tower was put under renovation.

The renovation was completed in 2005, and the park was inaugurated by then Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy in 2006.

The tower was declared a heritage structure in the twin cities of Hyderabad-Secunderabad.
