m	macedonboy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Visited back in Jan. The Birch Memorial Clock Tower is a clock tower located close to the main railway station of Ipoh and the town hall of the city. The tower was created as a memorial to James Birch, who was the British resident of Perak during the British Empire. As clock towers go, this is a standard four sided tower with each face displaying a clock. The tower is painted in a simple black and white scheme, and interestingly has four spires surrounding the tower rather than on the tower itself. Most of the things to see in Ipoh are around this area, so it’s worth a quick diversion.

K	Kula Manter on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful location and tower. Nice walk heading up to it. There's a food court you can visit in the morning, but I went in the evening so no opinions there It's a relaxing place to be - really cool to imagine what it might have been like back in the day, listening for the clock tower on the hour. The mural on the tower itself depicts the growth of civilization via 44 historical figures in four panels. It's definitely a beautiful specimen of colonial architecture.

S	Sheikh Ayub AL Zarafee on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the Historical place to visit when in ipoh . near dataran Dato Sagor , masjid negeri and old shop ... there is a makan place behind the memorial..
M	Mohd Haryzal Ismail on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A historical memorial at Ipoh. A nice place for a snapshot. However, Ipoh City Council should look after the tower better as lots of parasite trees began to grow. That tarnished a bit the value of that historical tower and the image of Ipoh as a whole.
G	Gary Looi CW on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A clock tower surrounded by food stalls, wasn't expecting that. I didn't stay long due to the hot sun shining from above. But it's worth visiting if you're in Ipoh.
