Confusion that never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks, gonna
Come back and take you home
I could not stop that you now know, singing

The Wells Cathedral clock is an astronomical clock in the north transept of Wells Cathedral, England. The clock is one of the group of famous 14th to 16th century astronomical clocks to be found in the West of England.
Built around 1392 and has been in almost continuous use ever since. It is the second-oldest surviving clock in England (the oldest is at Salisbury Cathedral).
In the 1600s the original horizontal swinging beam mechanism called a foliot balance was replaced by a pendulum and anchor escapement to improve timekeeping. The clock also drove a display of automata figures which can still be seen at Wells every 15 minutes.
Q also tried to use two grapefruit to generate electricity but it didnt work, will retry with lemons (as per instructions)
I like this clock a lot. Unfortunatelly, I don't know the name of the building. Someone can help with this?

From Wikipedia:
Gastown was Vancouver's first downtown core and is named after "Gassy" Jack Deighton, a Yorkshire seaman, steamboat captain and barkeep who arrived in 1867 to open the area's first saloon. The town soon prospered as the site of Hastings Mill sawmill, seaport, and quickly became a general centre of trade and commerce on Burrard Inlet as well as a rough-and-rowdy resort for off-work loggers and fishermen as well as the crews and captains of the many sailing ships which came to Gastown or Moodyville, on the north side of the inlet (which was a dry town) to load logs and timber.
From Wikipedia:
Gastown's most famous landmark is the steam-powered clock on the corner of Cambie and Water Street. Built to cover a steam grate, part of Vancouver's distributed steam-heating system, the clock was built as a way to harness the steam and to prevent street people from sleeping on the spot in cold weather.
The Prague astronomical clock, or Prague orloj (Czech: Pražský orloj [praʃskiː orloj]), is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.
The clock was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still operating.
The Old Town Hall was established as a symbol of the town self-administration under the rule of King John of Luxembourg in 1338. A corner tower house in the Old Town Square became the seat of the town council. On the occasion of its alteration for the purposes of the town council house, a monumental prismatic quadrilateral tower was built on the place of an older tower, in the second half of the 14th century. The tower stands 69.5 metres high and also fulfilled the function of the town watch-tower.
In 1410, the astronomical clock was mounted on the south side of the tower, but it was not completed until later. The oldest part of the clock is the central astronomical-astrological part, based on the geocentric conception of the motions of the planets and it represents the common form of telling the time from that period.
