The Town Hall used to stand at the junction of Central Avenue and Sittingbourne
High Street where there is now a new building housing a branch of NatWest Bank.
The clock sat high above the street in its own tower prior to the buildings
demolition (see photos).
A bronze plaque, attached to the new clock tower, tells us:
This clock
originally sited on
the former Town Hall
in the High Street was
restored & erected here
by the people of Swale to
commemorate the wedding
of HRH the Prince of Wales
and Lady Diana Spencer
on July 29 1981
