A view of the Baddeley clock tower at the boundary of Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere.
This clock tower marks the division between Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere, and was built as a memorial to Mountford John Byrde Baddeley (1843 - 1906) who wrote a series of well regarded walker's guides from the new town of Windermere
The stone inscription on the clock tower reads:
​"To preserve the memory of Mountford John Byrde Baddeley
The Thorough Guide
erected by public subscription from friends and admirers in all parts of the British Isles"
That's how a clock looked like which I won at a charity raffle recently. Looked a bit stuffy we thought. And that some spraypaint might get it a bit more hip. Indeed it did: www.flickr.com/photos/50169936@N00/5037544956/
(Apologies that I just copied the image from www.giftcompany.net/product/5599/Messy_FloorsDirty_Dishes... , but at the time I was thinking about fotos there was not much left of the original ;-)
This is the Clock Tower of Newmarket's old Post Office building. It is now a retirement home called the Clock Tower Inn.
From Market Square - Newmarket, ON Canada [?]
Work started to investigate the clock; by gently removing one face, the mechanism has been revealed as four synchronous motors (one per face) and a very modern control mechanism, certainly far newer than the clock itself. all the control gear is by Smith of Derby, so probably the clock itself is also one of their excellent products. Fortunately, their website has also enabled details of the mechanism to be downloaded, so we can start getting it all working again.

Now that I think about it, it's not like the clip frames are sealed or anything, so I guess I have the option of rotating this "collection" if the spirit moves me.

sometimes i feel like all i do is wait - without patience, this life would be difficult to survive...
doing some test shots with the F770EXR around the 'hood. this is in full EXR auto mode. the date/time stamp option has now been removed, as it is a bit rude.
the detail even when zoomed in is pretty darn good. good enough for me and a nice little 'walk-about'!
Today's word is Shrewsbury clock, after Shrewsbury, a town in west UK. Earliest documented use: 1598.
NOTES: In Shakespeare's "Henry IV, Part 1" John Falstaff claims that he and Hotspur "fought a long hour by Shrewsbury clock" in the Battle of Shrewsbury. The term "Shrewsbury clock" here refers to a public clock as most people didn't have clocks at the time. The term "by a Shrewsbury clock" has come to imply exactly or precisely, sometimes with a hint of exaggeration or irony.

In the lobby of 55 Broadway
Taken during a tour of 55 Broadway, the headquarters of London Underground and London's first skyscraper.
The building was designed by Charles Holden (1875-1960), and constructed between 1927-29. The building was the tallest in London until 1932 (when it was superseded by Senate House, another of Holden's sites).
55 Broadway was the headquarters for the Underground Electric Railways Company of London (UERL), and later London Transport, although operations are now planned to move to other sites.
The art deco building is a cruciform design, ten storeys high, and faced with Portland stone.
