The Clock Tower was built in 1868 to mark the positioning of the original Mere Market House, a two storey building with a covered open ground floor for perishable market goods.
The Mere market ended in the 18th century but the upper floor, the ‘Croos Loft’, continued to be used as a school and it was here that the poet William Barnes had his first school in Mere. The market house was pulled down in 1863 and was replaced by the present Clock Tower which was opened by the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) in 1868.

Purchased for one dollar at the Goodwill. I would never have imagined something like this existed in reality.

Went to Kuna tonight for dinner at El Gallo Giro - great Mexican food. This clock is across the street at the Arlene Building.

I didn't take a picture of the clock before I cleaned it up. It's not perfect but looks good and works.

The Waveland Clock Tower is a location I had not visited since I was young. It brings back a lot of childhood memories of when our family used to take long walks along the lakefront

Regular routine . . . Jools and I go to the mall. We agree to meet under the clock at a pre-arranged time. She shops. I wander around aimlessly. Jools is late. I wait. The clocks tick accusingly . . .
The hands on the clock stopped moving but the pendulum kept swinging. I thought it was kind of interesting.

This is one of the stages before a final postcard I think.
You can see guidelines , the clouds altered and the clock tower itself looking naff.
