Stourbridge Town Clock
'It's probably the best-known landmark in the town and was even made here! Built in 1857, the grade two listed town clock had a full restoration in 2007. The column was built at the Stourbridge Ironworks and was designed by engineer William Milward. For many years the clock was painted green but for the renovation, the decision was made to change the colour to dark blue and gold, the colours of the Stourbridge coat of arms.' www.stourbridge.com/stourbridge_town_clock.htm
Thirty-one years ago Ant Harris put up Clocks (22) at Balls Head. Late this afternoon he was back on it...
Now, let me tell you about 11:11...
... and maybe I can even seek your advice.
Over the past few months, I have developed... I don’t know... a curious ‘relationship’ with ‘11:11’, which is beginning to make me think! It has gradually dawned on me that, on many, many occasions, when I randomly check the time, it is... 11:11! To start with, I had put this down to the fact that its repetitious, visual nature drew my attention to it (this was borne out by the fact that the LCD clock in my last car was faulty and, even when it wasn’t actually eleven minutes past eleven, the faulty clock made it look that way and it did attract my attention).
BUT, more recently, I have frequently come to check the time during the day, having not previously seen the face of my watch or a clock, and it has been... 11:11! And it’s happening too regularly to be a coincidence!!!
What could this be? Why could this be? I have ‘Googled’ this and not become any the wiser.... except that, perhaps, in another life, I had some connection with the First World War and Armistice Day!
HELP! Does anyone have a logical explanation? (apart from any obvious comments that might come along to suggest I’m ‘losing it’ or am on drugs!!).
(NB: the ‘07’ on my watch, here, is the day of the month and the ‘23’ is the seconds).

Il campanile della chiesa di San Michele e, a sinistra, quello di San Paolo. Sullo sfondo le Grigne. Ma la cosa più interessante è l'edificio a destra del campanile di San Michele, cioè l'edificio della prima San Michele, utilizzata fino al 1932. Ora fa parte del Collegio "Cardinal Ferrari" delle Suore Sacramentine.

This was the church clock in the market square at Nuremberg. I find these clocks to be spectacular with many having moving parts when the clock chimes. Unfortunately, they have put wire grating around the figures to prevent birds from roosting on them.

... at Old City Hall rises 103 metres (340 ft) at the corner of Queen and Bay Streets in Toronto, directly opposite the new(er) City Hall. It may have taken 10 years to build, but Old City Hall finally opened its doors in 1899. Today it's home to the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice which try cases ranging from minor provincial offences to serious criminal charges under the sharp eyed gaze of four gargoyles atop the tower.

Anyone who has been to Glasgow’s Buchanan Bus Station will have spotted the striking Clyde Clock.
The cube shaped clock – perched on top of a pair of stainless steel legs, 20 feet high – reminds locals to run on time every single day.
Twelve years after its installment, though, the clock suddenly stopped – and it took the power of Glasgow’s people to get things ticking over again.
After finishing it`s work for the day, this Claas Lexion 780 'Terra trac' Combine Harvester follows it`s tracks back home through this wheat field at Milton Malsor, Northamptonshire. It roat attachments have been removed, and are being taken back on a special trailer which is towed, in this case, by a tractor.

The idea of a clock for the British Army and Royal Navy garrison at Halifax is credited to Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, who arranged for a turret clock to be manufactured before his return to England in 1800. It is said that Prince Edward, then commander-in-chief of all military forces in British North America, wished to resolve the tardiness of the local garrison.

A table cuckoo clock built in the course of 24 hours as a contender for an exhibition.
It will be displayed among three other fan-built clocks in the LEGO House celebrating the 60th birthday of the LEGO brick.
One of the requirements was that the dials point to 1.58 which is the exact time the patent for the LEGO interlocking brick was registered 60 years ago.
