Victoria Tower

Overlooking Huddersfield in the Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees, West Yorkshire, England, stands Victoria Tower. Although often referred to as the Jubilee Tower, the correct name is the Victoria Tower. 

In 1897 Queen Victoria had reigned over the British Empire for sixty years, longer than any other monarch. A permanent memorial of this event was planned in the form of a tower. Despite some difficulty raising the money required, the tower was opened by the Earl of Scarborough on 24 June 1899. 

Designed by Isaac Jones of London, it was built by the firm of Ben Graham and Sons of Folly Hall, using stone from Crosland Hill. It cost £3,298, and was 106 feet (32.3 m) high, which, added to the height of the hill itself, made the top 1,000 feet (305 m) above sea level.
