This clock, mounted on the outside wall of Wells Cathedral in Somerset, is driven by the same mechanism that connects to an interior astronomical clock in the north transept.
It was first installed between the 14th and 15th centuries and has, quite understandably, been restored a number of times down the centuries.
The clock’s original mechanism was removed in the 19th century to the Science Museum in London.
Despite its age, that original clock movement is still working!

The clock belonged to a resident at 14 Collingwood Road

I think the wide angle (and the S90's barrel distortion, which I don't think iPhoto's RAW convertor is dealing with) makes this look a bit weird. Maybe it's just the circular tiling patterns, though.
My papa's grandfather clock, which he inherited from his father. His family immigrated from England, and this clock, which was built in Brighton, is a family heirloom. The clock has a very interesting history, which speaks to the history of my papa's family.
The Clock Tower (1903) in Victoria, Seychelles, is modeled after a tower on Vauxhaul Bridge in London, England.
The clock face has pictures for thunder showers, showers, scattered showers, sun, partially cloudy, cloudy, sleet / hail, and snow.
The temperature scale goes from -40 to +40 *C which is not quite cold enough to show the temperature on the coldest day of the year and a little higher than the warmest day, but I like the symmetry.
