The Cleveleys Clock Shelter is a beloved historic landmark situated on a prominent roundabout where Victoria Road West meets the promenade on the Fylde coast. Built in 1928 to celebrate the amalgamation of Thornton and Cleveleys, the circular structure was designed to provide coastal visitors with a place to sit and rest while keeping track of the time. It features a distinct William Potts & Son clock mechanism, though locals affectionately nicknamed it the "four-faced liar" during periods when the clocks failed to tell the correct time.
Over the decades, the structure underwent numerous changes, including a long stint of being painted bright green, and the original clocks unfortunately went missing during the 1980s. Recognising its deep cultural value, a passionate community campaign led by the Visit Cleveleys group in 2014 successfully rallied to restore the shelter. Thanks to local fundraising and dedicated volunteers, the structure was beautifully refurbished, and replacement clocks were installed, ensuring this iconic piece of seaside heritage continues to greet drivers and pedestrians today.
