The Clock Towers Shopping Centre is a shopping precinct in the town centre of Rugby, Warwickshire, managed by EFM Facilities Ltd. The precinct includes several clothes stores, game shops and a few thrift stores.
The precinct, known in its previous existence as "Rugby Shopping Centre", gains its name from the famous clock tower in the town centre, and has since adapted its name as a theme; the shopping centre features various clocks and other time-related decorations – in 1995, the precinct installed two ornamental clocks, both loosely based on the traditional grandfather clock design. The first, named Chiming Clock, was originally designed to chime and play music on the hour and half-hour as a tortoise and hare raced around the dials, reenacting Aesop's fable.[1] The clock has since suffered issues in timing the sequence, now occurring almost randomly. The second companion clock, following a train theme to symbolise Rugby's famous railway, was installed on the opposite side of the shopping centre, but was soon dismantled and scrapped to make way for shop extensions.
