- ... that London's Wellington clock tower (pictured) was demolished in 1867, transported to Swanage, Dorset as ballast in a barge and re-erected there? "It was taken down in 1867, at the height of George Burt’s cannibalisation of London landmarks for the greater glory of Swanage, and was carried there as ballast in one of his ships, the Mayflower ... Docwra had it re-erected in its present position" from: Gower, Rachel (March 2016). "The Wellington clock tower". Dorset Life. Retrieved 2 January 2020.
- ALT1:... that the Wellington clock tower (pictured) stood at the southern end of London Bridge for only 13 years before it was demolished and re-erected in Swanage, Dorset?

- As an alternative simpler hook: ALT2: ... that the Wellington clock tower (pictured) has no clock? - Dumelow (talk) 13:57, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Dumelow, here is my review:
| General: Article is new enough and long enough |
|---|
Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- The "George Burt" section needs at least one reliable source at the end of the paragraph. - Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
| Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation |
|---|
|
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
Prefer ALT1. ALT2 may be a bit misleading, as it no longer has any clock, but this may be suitable as well. epicgenius (talk) 02:00, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
