The Millennium Clock in Eastwood. The post just to the right of it has a representation of a Phoenix on the top. This image is all over the town, little steel plates in the pavement, picked out with different colour bricks in walls, and names of various businesses. I asked at least 10 people what it represented, and nobody could give me a definitive answer. There seemed to be a general belief that it was something to do with D.H. Lawrence who was born here. I later found out it is part of the town coat of arms. Lawrence took it as his own.
"spun" off from my motherboard clock, I decided to turn an old hard drive into a clock too. It originally had two disks, but the clock wouldn't have fit, so I just used one. It's on my wall next to my motherboard clock; the original idea was to "connect" them via an ide cable, but the plug on this is no longer there...
I finally got the Cuckoo clock up... Bought it in Germany, had massive delays with Customs, then sat on the table till we got the right hook for the wall.
Sarge feels at home anyway!
You can't beat a good public clock. The clock tower outside Altrincham Station dates from 1880 and is listed Grade II. The station was opened on 3 April 1881 as Altrincham & Bowdon by the Manchester, South Junction and Altrincham Railway.
This clock, inside in the north transept, has been telling the time in Wells Cathedral (Somerset, England) since around 1390. The second oldest original working clock in the world, and the oldest with its original dials. (That and following information pp notice displayed with the clock.)
It shows hours and minutes, and the number of days since a new moon.
Above the dial, there is a group of figures which spins around on the quarter hour. As it spins, a knight is unhorsed by a lance. He is merely 600 years old. I presume the first one wore out!
