Standing majestically close to the city centre of Chester on Eastgate Street, is the Eastgate clock. Chester's best known land mark and the second most photographed clock in the world after Big Ben. The clock was placed on the Eastgate in 1899 and commemorates Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee of 1897. The wrought-iron was made by John Douglas's cousin James Swindley of Handbridge. This clock is by J. B. Joyce of Whitchurch. Until 1974 it was hand wound once a week.

At the top end of the Cowgate the main thoroughfare through the town of Kirkintilloch lies the Barony Chambers Clock Steeple.
The Category B Listed historic landmark was built between 1814 and 1815 to provide a meeting place for the then Kirkintilloch Town Council , a Court House including two jail cells and a Parish School. Prior to 1806 there was a Tolbooth that once stood on the site
For some reason, the QFC was built with two of these weird clock towers, with this one on the side of the store (back relative to the interior), facing the neighboring park. (The entrance road shown here is a temporary addition due to the construction surrounding the store.) It's probably just me, but the proportions seem way off (too short and squat) on these towers. The time displayed seems reasonable for when I was there, however, so maybe they actually work!

The Duomo di Firenze was begun in 1296 in the Gothic style to a design of Arnolfo di Cambio and was structurally completed by 1436, with the dome designed by Filippo Brunelleschi. The exterior of the basilica is faced with polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink, bordered by white, and has an elaborate 19th-century Gothic Revival façade by Emilio De Fabris.
