Rather a nice clock (though not quite sure how old it is - possibly it isn't very old at all) - in Aldeburgh

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...
I just finished this clock and want to dedicate it to all those keeping us safe. Thank you. See picture of front of clock.
At midday the lion roars and the cock crows. A large crowd of tourists gather to enjoy the fun. The clock was made by Ungerer of Strasbourg in 1933
Fortunate to catch this with the clock refracted pretty full in the water drop. It goes to say there's a hundred others where I missed the drop completely!! The clock is about two feet away from the camera (and upside down so the image appears upright in the drop,the water's dropped from a small eye dropper)
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.
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.

The Clock Tower at Wheelton is a memorial to the men of Wheelton and Heapey who died in the first and second World wars.
