This clock in the main hall in the abandoned Royal Park School in Hyde Park Leeds was made by W. Potts and Sons of Leeds and is numbered 129.
I wonder how many kids over the years watched the minutes tick by growing ever closer to home time.

An inside look at the clock tower in Bangor, PA. The antique four-faced clock was manufactured by the E. Howard Clock Co. of Boston, Massachusetts, and was installed in the borough hall in 1907. In addition to being Bangor’s timepiece, the clock chimed a coded ring to alert the borough fire department as to the location of the fire. They also used the tower to hang the fire hoses after a fire to dry.
After a period of neglect when the chimes fell silent, the Slate Belt Heritage Center, under the guidance and care of Jay Albert, brought the historic clock back to life again in early 2000. The help of a generous personal donation helped Jay to single-handedly restore the faces. The clock mechanism was restored by David Morgan, former president of the Worldwide Clock Towers Association.

Specifically designed for use in a drive-in, this vintage clock manages to capture the whole atmosphere of the drive-in experience.
Super retro vintage flip clock, made by General Electric likely in the 1960s. Mod design with rounded corners and oh-so cool details.
Took this at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. The clock mechanisms are exposed, and you can get to the inside and "look out" from a walkway. The watchman in the tower took a moment's break, and I caught it. This was in color, but I like the B&W better (see next pic).
The clock over the Corn Exchange with its two minute hands. Bristol being 2 degrees, 36 minutes west of Greenwich, the sun is at its noon peak nearly eleven minutes later than at Greenwich. Prior to the railways, this time difference scarcely mattered, most towns keeping their own time. 1841 saw the first train pull in to Temple Meads station, heralding the dawn of the rail era in Bristol. Since the railways ran on Greenwich Mean Time, this meant Bristolians had to compensate for the eleven minutes difference. Thus the noon train would leave at 1149 hrs local time; to assist travellers, clocks were given two minute hands, Bristol Time and GMT. Bristol adopted GMT in 1852, ending this discrepancy.
The famous Wells clock is considered to be the second oldest clock mechanism in Britain, and probably in the world, to survive in original condition and still in use.
The original works were made about 1390 and the clock face is the oldest surviving original of its kind anywhere.When the clock strikes every quarter, jousting knights rush round above the clock and the Quarter Jack bangs the quarter hours with his heels.
