The Albert Memorial Clock is a clock tower situated at Queen's Square in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It was completed in 1869 and is one of the best known landmarks of Belfast. As a result of being built on wooden piles on marshy, reclaimed land around the River Farset, the top of the tower leans four feet off the perpendicular.

 
  This magnificent staircase is made from Carrara, Pavonazzo and Brescia marbles and links the entrance hall with the building's landings.
