This clock exists because way back when it was planned to open a public library in Morecambe. A councillor collected contributions from a variety of donors to build the library. The problem was the ongoing running of the place - it would require a halfpenny added to everyone's rates (local taxes) which was a step too far, apparently.
So, what to do with the accumulated donations? Easy - build a clock tower!

This clock sits atop the Mermaid Quay leisure and entertainment complex in Cardiff Bay.
It commemorates Ernest Thompson Willows, a local aviation and airship pioneer who built his first airship in 1905, aged just 19.
His early pioneering exploits resulted in Ernest becoming the first person in Britain to hold a pilot's licence for an airship when the Royal Aero Club awarded him Airship Pilots Certificate No. 1.
The clock is modelled on the early aero engine that would have powered Ernest's airships.
