At the southern end of the bridge [London Bridge], at the corner of Duke Street, stood a Gothic clock-tower as a memorial to the great Duke of Wellington, which was removed to Swanage when the railway extension to Charing Cross upset all the street arrangements at this [-98-] point. The clock had been made by a Mr. Bennett of Blackheath, who had taken care to inscribe his name on it very legibly, and as the Duke of Wellington's was nowhere apparent it seemed to us more like a Bennett clock-tower and our small bosoms felt lifted up accordingly.
