A lovely old Leyland Motors roadside clock seen inside the Cobham bus museum. Clocks like this were situated around Britain usualy close to transport cafes. This one has been at the museum for many years and has been fully restored at the museum.
Rather a nice clock (though not quite sure how old it is - possibly it isn't very old at all) - in Aldeburgh

The flower matures into a globe of fine filaments that are usually distributed by wind, carrying away the seed-containing achenes. This globe (receptacle) is called the "clock", and blowing it apart is a popular activity for children worldwide.
The flower head is surrounded by bracts (sometimes mistakenly called sepals) in two series. The inner bracts are erect until the seeds mature, then flex down to allow the seeds to disperse; the outer bracts are always reflexed downward. Some species drop the "parachute" (called a pappus, modified sepals) from the achenes. Between the pappus and the achene, there is a stalk called a beak, which elongates as the fruit matures. The beak breaks off from the achene quite easily.
This floral clock was manufactured in Switzerland by the house Favag and was given as a gift from the Consul of Denmark to the island of Tenerife in 1958. Parque GarcÃa Sanabria. Santa Cruz, Tenerife, Canary Islands

I used an old Canon optical image stabilizer lens [EF-S 17-85mm 1:4-5.6 IS USM] on an EOS 450D DSLR. With exposures of up to a 1/4 of a second, most of the images had to be discarded, and the remainder are very "grainy" / "noisy", but the pictures at least form a sort of record of the event...
Where the staff used to signal their arrival. Many of these shots aren't quite focused but I was finding the whole day quite emotional.
Clock used at work to measure positions and to create a datem. it is accurate to 0.0005 thou. (1 thou is 0.1mm)
The Clock Tower at Wheelton is a memorial to the men of Wheelton and Heapey who died in the first and second World wars.
A pair of Hanhart stopwatches, attached to the dashboard of an MG. Paired clocks like this were used for timekeeping in road rallies. They also look awesome.
