- The Joseph Chamberlain Memorial Clock Tower, or colloquially Old Joe, is a clock tower and campanile located in Chancellor's court at the University of Birmingham, in the suburb of Edgbaston. It is the tallest free-standing clock tower in the world, although its actual height is the subject of some confusion. The university lists it as 110 metres (361 ft), 99 metres (325 ft), and 100 metres (328 ft) tall, the last of which is supported by other sources. In a lecture in 1945, Mr C. G. Burton, secretary of the University, stated that "the tower stands 329 ft [100 m] high, the clock dials measure 17 ft [5.2 m] in diameter, the length of the clock hands are 10 and 6 ft [3.0 and 1.8 m], and the bell weighs 5 long tons [5.1 tonnes]". The tower was built to commemorate Joseph Chamberlain, the first Chancellor of the University (with the commemoration being carved into the stone at the tower's base), although one of the original suggested names for the clock tower was the "Poynting Tower", after one of the earliest professors at the University, Professor John Henry Poynting. A prominent landmark in Birmingham, the grade II* listed tower can be seen for miles around the campus, and has become synonymous with the University itself. (en)
- 约瑟夫·张伯伦钟塔位于英格兰西米德兰兹郡伯明翰大学主校区校长楼前。虽然对高度资料说法不一，但它是目前世界最高的独立钟塔。伯明翰大学列出的高度是110米，而有些其他文献中描述是100米。 这座钟塔的建立是为了纪念伯明翰大学的第一任校长约瑟夫·张伯伦。在当初建塔时也有人提出以此大学最早的教授约翰·亨利·伯丁来命名此塔。现在，伯明翰大学的学生和当地的居民一般叫它“老乔”、“大乔”或者只是简单的“钟塔”。学生中流传一个迷信，如果有人在敲钟的时候站在塔下，他的考试就会不及格。 (zh)
