Summary

Description
English: J.W.W. Birch Clock Tower is located near the site of British fort at Kampung Pasir Pulai, about 24 km from Pasir Salak. The Birch Memorial Clocktower was built in 1909 and still stands in front of the Ipoh State Mosque. One of the 44 figure on the clock's illustration was removed due to religious sensitivity.Roads in Kuala Lumpur and Taiping were thought to have been named after him (Birch Road), but this was for a different Birch (namely, his eldest son Ernest Woodford Birch, also a Resident of Perak). The same road was renamed Dato Maharajalela (Maharajalela Road; Malay: Jalan Maharajalela) after Malaysia's independence in 1957. Similarly Birch Road also appeared in several towns in Malaysia, they were Seremban, Penang and Ipoh, also found in Singapore.
           J.W.W. Birch Clock Tower is a  clocktower who want to tell that JWW Birch is the first British residence of PERAK. James Wheeler Woodford Birch, commonly known as J. W. W. Birch 
(3 April 1826 – 2 November 1875) was the first British Resident in Perak, Malaysia.
