[Historic England]
The area known as Three Mills Island is a stretch of land surrounded by three channels of the ancient River Lea. There have been mills in this area for many centuries – according to the Domesday Survey, there were at least eight mills here at that point in time. Over time, wind power was used to drive mills with the addition of windmills. But, this area remains, perhaps, best known for its tidal mills. It was to become the home of the biggest tidal mill in the world.
The mills on this site were historically able to take advantage of the tidal flow of the river up to the Thames Estuary and the local Bow Creek. During its heyday, the mills here could work for up to eight hours in each tide, allowing them to become major producers in London.
In medieval times, Three Mills was the main producer of flour for local bakers who baked bread for the city. The mills here also had other uses, however, and at least one was a gunpowder mill. The site was largely developed in the 1720s when it was purchased by a group of local residents, including Peter Lefevre, a Huguenot refugee from France.
In the 1770s, the owners built the current House Mill building. Its name was derived from its location between two houses for staff who worked on the site as millers. The second of the mills, the Clock Mill, was constructed in 1817 and the third was a windmill. This site was a thriving concern in the 18th century. As well as the mills that worked on site, the owners also ran a distillery and piggery and employed many local people.
The House Mill was damaged by a fire in 1802 and needed to be partly rebuilt. Bombing during the Second World War effectively closed the site down in terms of milling production. The last of the mills to be in operation was the House Mill itself, which was ultimately shut down in 1941. This building now has a Grade I listing.

St Joseph's Church (Msida)
Many of the Maltese churches have two clocks, showing different times. We were told one shows the correct time for the religious locals, while the other shows the wrong time to confuse Satan from disturbing the mass. Sometimes the second clock is not even real but a very good likeness painted on the church. Or the hands on the fake clock are missing.
İzmir Clock Tower (Turkish: İzmir Saat Kulesi) is a historic clock tower located at the Konak Square in Konak district of İzmir, Turkey. The clock tower was designed by the Levantine French architect Raymond Charles Père and built in 1901 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Abdülhamid II's (reigned 1876–1909) accession to the throne.
The clock itself was a gift of German Emperor Wilhelm II (reigned 1888–1918). It is decorated in an elaborate Ottoman architecture. The tower, at a height of 25 m features four fountains, which are placed around the base in a circular pattern, and the columns are inspired by North African themes.
The clock tower was depicted on the reverse of the Turkish 500 lira banknotes of 1983-1989.

I had an old Winchester Chime movement clock which I'd been threatening to make a case for for years. So I thought I'd combine my new found interest in Intarsia with a bit f basic wood work to make this.

In the center of Chiang Rai in Northern Thailand is an ornate clock tower in the middle of a roundabout. It is particularly impressive during the hours of darkness, as it adds a splash of colour.
