The clocktower at Crouch End, the centre of our village.
Every hour on the hour I hear its chimes and if I'm awake at night I don't need to open my eyes and look at the led clock to know I should be asleep at that hour.
Time for another bit of drama.
This is the clocktower at Roath Park lake, Cardiff.
It's called the Scott Memorial, and was built in 1915.

I'm not usually a fan of overcooked HDR, but it just seemed to work for me.

Wikipedia: The Tour du Leughenaer is an octagonal tower 30m high in Dunkirk. Erected around 1450, this tower is the oldest monument in the city. It was built by Jacques Desfontaines, surrounded in the 18th century by a port surveillance platform, then made higher in 1814 to install a lighthouse. It has retained a large part of its 19th century inner workings. In 1995 it became the equivalent of a listed building.
La Tour du Leughenaer est une tour octogonale de 30 mètres de haut à Dunkerque. Érigée vers 1450, cette tour est le monument le plus ancien de la ville. Elle a été édifiée par Jacques Desfontaines, entourée au xviiie siècle d'une plate-forme de surveillance du port, puis rehaussée en 1814 pour y installer une lanterne de phare. Elle a conservé une grande partie de ses dispositifs techniques du xixe siècle. La Tour est classée Monument historique en 1995.
Wikipedia: English Heritage has listed the building of 1961 at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance.

The small market town of Usk,is located on the River Usk in Monmouthshire. The clock tower was erected to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887.
A local landmark is the 'Oakes Memorial', a clock tower erected on the Upper Green in 1889 to commemorate Captain Arthur Oakes, a Justice of the Peace. The west face of the clock is directly in line with the front entrance of Downgate, where Oakes lived. The mechanism needs to be wound once a week. It does not keep exact time, for the movement is supported on timber, which changes shape slightly in changeable weather.

There are many locations where we all shoot in the knowledge that it is a place where hundreds if not thousands of photographers have shot before, it can be very enjoyable seeking a viewpoint that hasn't been used before in that location.
