The Turkish Baths in Harrogate, one of three such 19th-century facilities in England, are a stunning example of Arabian-inspired Victorian architecture. The Turkish Baths are an intergral part of the Royal Baths building, parts of which have been redeveloped to house restaurants and bars, parts of which still stand vacant. The extensive redevelopment project to restore the Turkish Baths to their original purpose and full glory was completed in 2004.
Een traditioneel 19e. eeuwse koopmanshuis in Kashan. Het is een toonbeeld van hoogstaande Iraanse architectuur. Khan-e Boroujerdi. Legend has it that when Sayyed Jafar Natanzi, a samovar merchant known as Boroujerdi, met with carpet merchant Sayyed Jafar Tabatabaei to discuss taking his daughter’s hand in marriage, Mr Tabatabaei set one condition: his daughter must be able to live in a home at least as lovely as his own. The result – finished some 18 years later – was the Khan-e Boroujerdi. Made distinctive by its six-sided, domed badgirs, the house boasts frescoes painted by Kamal al-Molk, the foremost Iranian artist of the time.

This hour-striking clock with four dials was installed in 1904 in the New Market in Kirkgate Leeds by Wm Potts and Sons Leeds. The clock was designed by John and Joseph Leeming of London and cost £150. Gerald Balfour MP opened the market and the clock was set going by Alderman Knowles on 1 July 1904.
In Kirkgate Market it had an electric alarm which rang at 5.55, to warn the stall holders that closing time was imminent, and again at 6pm for close of business. The clock was serviced by an engineer who went up inside the tower, pushing up the trapdoor, which he then stood on to work on the clock. Sadly on one occasion, the engineer suffered a fatal electric shock and collapsed on the trap door which made recovery of his body very difficult.
In 1912 it was necessary to resite the market stalls to provide an entrance from Vicar Lane. The clock was removed and placed close to the entrance to Roundhay Park near the entry lodge. This building was demolished in 1937, leaving the clock alone.
In 1941 the movement was replaced by a synchronous drive and the original movement later installed in Leck Parish Church, near Kirkby Lonsdale in Lancashire. The Oakwood clock was restored in 1977.
The most impressive picture of the clock in its original site in Leeds Market is probably this engraving from "The Building News" in 1901:

Clocks by Coldplay. A Kaleidoscope of Neon.
I was asked by the President of Malta, George Abela to work on this project to raise money for the Malta Community Chest Fund. Musical Director, Sigmund Mifsud had already chosen and orchestrated a series of rock classics pieces to be played by the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra. The Rockestra show took place on the 12th September at the MFCC. Ticket sales were expected to be around 3,000 but I am very pleased to say that they sold out at 12,000. This is the largest indoor event ever held in Malta.
The evening included pieces by Coldplay, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, The Eagles and John Miles, so had a strong 70’s leaning and I wanted to reflect that in the imagery.
The local artists were The Riffs, Jotham Saliba, Claire Caruana, Alex Bezzina, Raquela, Neville Refalo, Daniel Cauchi, Ruben Zahra, Paul Borg Bonaci and DJ Owen.

The upper circular component (an astrolbe or simple planetarium) was installed in 1410 and has run more-or-less continuously since then. There are several moving parts, including the outer zodiacal ring and symbols representing the sun and moon whose positions vary with the celestial locations of these bodies. Rumor has it that the craftsman who made this mechanism was blinded so that he could not replicate this invention in any other city. At the top, under the arched portico, a golden rooster crows three times at the conclusion of each hourly episode. On the hour, the two blue doors open to reveal the passage of two sets of 6 carved apostles, added in the 17th century. Four animated statues flank the astronomical clock; the two on the left represent Vanity and Greed, while the two on the right embody Death and Lust. (Prague: Old Town Hall: 19-21 May, 2017)
The clock is in the Norman north transept it is known as "The Exeter Astronomical Clock" and dating from 1484 the smaller minute dial was added in 1760.
The time is 13.30 and the date is the 29th
The Orloj (Astronomical Clock) on the wall of the Old Town Hall which chimes on the hour at which time a procession of wooden apostle statues move between the two blue doors at the top of the clock. The orloj dates from the early 1400s.

Currently sampling paint colors. We wanted an avocado/lime color to match our sofa on the wall behind our hutch/clock. Living with this for a while to see how we like it.
(Clock was a xmas gift I bought for Andis this year. Owls and mid-century Godiva sculpture are family heirlooms we inherited.)
