The Inglewood clock tower is an iconic landmark. This cinema/picture- gardens/office/shops/flats complex was constructed and operated by Thomas James Snooks (1890-1958). His involvement with this site goes back to the end of the First World War, when he constructed and operated a picture garden (demolished by his grandson in 1960), later building the indoor cinema, clock tower, offices, shops, and flats.
T.J. Snooks was a pioneer in the Maylands, Mount Lawley, and Inglewood districts both as a picture show man, and as a builder (under the name T. Snooks & Son) of a significant proportion of the residential and commercial fabric of the area. He also staged performances of Gilbert and Sullivan in the, now demolished, Maylands church hall as a young man in the 1910s.
