The Clock Tower in the Triangle, the centre of the main shopping Area in
Clevedon. The Clock Tower was a gift to the town by Sir Edmund Harry Elton to
celebrate Queen Victoria's Jubilee. It was completed in 1898.
The former St. John's Primary School, at the junction of Old Church Road and
Hillside Road, was converted into the town Library when the School relocated in
the early 1990s. The new Library building replaced two smaller libraries, one
in a two story Victorian semi-detatched house next to the Clevedon Mercury
premises in Linden Road, and a smaller branch library in Old Church Road.
The Curzon Cinema (Movie Theater) is, in it's own words, the oldest
continuously used purpose-built cinema in Europe. Completed in 1923, the Cinema
has gone through various hands, and been modified many times internally. The
exterior is original, and still bears the damage from a bomb explosion in the
last war. The Curzon is now run by a Community Trust, which took over from the
previous owners when the group which ran the Cinema went into receivership. The
intention is to restore the interior of the building, including the balcony,
which currently is not used, and the Oak Room Cafe, in the upper part of the
left-hand end of the building.
Clevedon Craft Centre is a collection of old farm outbuildings in a farm on the
'country' side of the motorway which have been converted into small craft
units. There is a web site which gives further information:
