To me, CMU is like jail. When I was in, I wanted out. Now that I'm out, I want back in. Anyhow, here's the nice clock.
An inside look at the clock tower in Bangor, PA. The antique four-faced clock was manufactured by the E. Howard Clock Co. of Boston, Massachusetts, and was installed in the borough hall in 1907. In addition to being Bangor’s timepiece, the clock chimed a coded ring to alert the borough fire department as to the location of the fire. They also used the tower to hang the fire hoses after a fire to dry.
After a period of neglect when the chimes fell silent, the Slate Belt Heritage Center, under the guidance and care of Jay Albert, brought the historic clock back to life again in early 2000. The help of a generous personal donation helped Jay to single-handedly restore the faces. The clock mechanism was restored by David Morgan, former president of the Worldwide Clock Towers Association.

The clock over the Corn Exchange with its two minute hands. Bristol being 2 degrees, 36 minutes west of Greenwich, the sun is at its noon peak nearly eleven minutes later than at Greenwich. Prior to the railways, this time difference scarcely mattered, most towns keeping their own time. 1841 saw the first train pull in to Temple Meads station, heralding the dawn of the rail era in Bristol. Since the railways ran on Greenwich Mean Time, this meant Bristolians had to compensate for the eleven minutes difference. Thus the noon train would leave at 1149 hrs local time; to assist travellers, clocks were given two minute hands, Bristol Time and GMT. Bristol adopted GMT in 1852, ending this discrepancy.
This is such a wonderful clock
Telford Shopping Centre's most striking feature is a giant clock above its central square. Called the Telford Time Machine, it weighs four tonnes, spans 16 m and incorporates a frog that winks and blows bubbles at passers-by.
The clock was designed by artist and writer Kit Williams, and adds a much-needed dash of colour to the 78,965 sq m (850,000 sq ft) centre. While attracting an average of 300,000 visitors a week, more than twice the population of Telford, the shopping centre's layout is increasingly seen as an obstacle to growth.
Grand reminder of its days as a train station. With a scale model of the Statue Of Lberty right under it.

Belton House - Lincolnshire
From the National Trust's website:
"The perfect English country house?
Built for Sir John Brownlow in the 1680s, Belton House has all the design features of a classic English country home. Sitting in formal Italian and Dutch gardens and an historic 1300 acre deer park, Belton is often cited as the quintessential country house estate."
Had a nostalgic return visit to Seaton Carew, not been since I was a small kid.
Used to live in Hartlepool & we'd walk from there to the beach.
Not really very glamorous, I doubt it ever was, but happy memories & good to see the place again.

It was the last thing we found on our scavenger hunt...and we had all stood right next to it when we were checking in earlier. Derr.
Two of these Street Clocks Were Found Within A Mile of Each Other. Obviously Designed &/Or Made By The Same Person or manufacturer. This One By A Sub-Division Sign The Other By A Law Firm.

Clock at Cressington station. Opened in March 1873, this was on the CLC (Cheshire Lines Committee) main line to Manchester (and probably Southport) until April 1972, when, along with the Gateacre line, it was closed.
Since 1978, however, it has been part of the Merseyrail network and is the only station I know of (on the Southport line) to still have its stationmaster's house.
