Picked up this beauty at a flea market in China. Keith's workmate Ren Chen came along with me and Nanne, and she did all the necessary bartering. The clock is electric but I daren't wire it up.
I took this photo as it shows all the junk of the day - cassettes rediscovered since being in storage for years, a number plate also bought in Beijing, a spirit level (although DIY is minimal), a travel book on Montenegro and a few other bits and bobs...
This is a reconstruction based on remains at All Saints' Church, Highcross Street, Leicester, supplemented by documentary evidence. The original carved wood quarter-jacks disappeared many years ago, but traditionally dates back to the early 17th Century. In Jacobean costume, they represented heralds.
Like it's predecessor, this clock operates every quarter-hour, and chimes the hour on the hour.
Constructed with aid of National Lottery funds and installed in October 1999 to mark the beginning of a new millennium.
New glazing in the clock - the rest will appear soon, when the hands will be replaced and a repaired mechanism reinstated behind.
Peer closely into the clock, and you can see right through into the attic offices behind....
While waiting for a friend, I couldn't resist taking photos of Cambridge's downtown area. Cambridge has such a classic historic look, it seems to be begged to have photos taken of it. I didn't have much time, but got a few I will be posting up.
Clearly the area loves to be photographed, while taking my own photos I saw 2 other photographers in a 10 minute period of time. Usually I don't see anyone or I get strange stares from random people.
