For in 1865 George Percy, Earl of Beverley and Lord of the Manor of Airmyn, inherited the Duchy of Northumberland from his cousin and left Yorkshire for Alnwick. Perhaps not inappropriately - for he was aged 85 - his tenants clearly thought this the equivalent of death and resolved upon the erection of a suitable but useful cenotaph, the Clocktower. A bridge that linked 'Little' and 'Great' Airmyn would have been useful, but the cost was prohibitive. They settled on a Clock! The cost was £700, the designer HJ. Lockwood, and all was complete by 1868 (but alas the Duke had died in 1867, two years after his accession, and so he never saw it).

This 250 year old barn still has life in it yet. This is where we play. If it wasn't for the coal burning stove, winter jam sessions would be tough.

Famous Melaka Clock Tower.

"This clock tower was given to the people of Malacca in 1886 by Mr.Tan Jiak Kim to fulfill the wishes of his father, the late Tan Beng Swee. In 1982, SEIKO-K. HATTORI & Co. Ltd. Japan, donated as a gesture of goodwill, a new clock to the people of Malacca to replace the original which is now exhibited at the Malacca Museum."

The clocktower above the main gates of H.M Prison Pentridge, Coburg, Victoria. I like how one clock is completely ravaged and the other one is still in pristine condition.

Ah, Thomas Kinkade, as an artist he makes a nice puzzle picture.

This may not be the what anyone would call the most beautiful city in the world, but on my first trip there I found it totally charming! I loved the beautiful clock tower in the center of town. I did this image using the Topaz Adjust filter in Photoshop. See my blog on Topaz at wp.me/p1aWsn-mN.
