Located in East Park Wolverhampton, I remember as a child climbing up the inside on the steel ladder, sure it had faces to the clocks then too???
This is my Robot #1 because it's the very first one I ever bought which started my AWESOME collection. I think I bought him between 1990 and 1994.
Clock tower at the end of Sigmund-Haffner-Gasse, Salzburg
Took a stroll through Salzburg ending in some night shots in the old town.
Clock tower of the school in Trevorton, a town about fifteen minutes from where I live now. I went to jr. high school here, but that has since moved to another location.
December 13: Went to lunch with Nina. On the way past the Transit Plaza my eye was caught by the little stickers on the clock. And the fact that it was almost one straight up. That is how exciting my day has been.
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.
