The previous mystery was tough, as only four people recognized it. Jay Altman of Columbia, S.C. wrote: “This is the Albert Memorial Clock (more commonly referred to as the Albert Clock) is a clock tower located in Queen’s Square in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It was completed in 1869.” The photo came from Rick Krause of Lilburn.
Also recognizing it were Stewart Ogilvie of Rehobeth, Ala.; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; and Allan Peel of San Antonia, Tex., who added: “It’s more commonly referred to as the Albert Clock. It’s situated at Queen’s Square in Belfast, Northern Ireland and is one of the best known landmarks of Belfast. It was built to commemorate Queen Victoria’s consort, Prince Albert, whose statue can be seen in the mystery photo above the base of the clock tower. Some folks suggest that the Albert Clock should be renamed to ‘Little Al,’ since it was fashioned after its older and much bigger brother ‘Big Ben’ in London. The sandstone tower of ‘Little Al’ is 113 feet tall and sits on a 30-foot base which makes the tower 142 feet high, less than half the height of Big Ben (which stands at 316 feet high).”
