A lovely old Leyland Motors roadside clock seen inside the Cobham bus museum. Clocks like this were situated around Britain usualy close to transport cafes. This one has been at the museum for many years and has been fully restored at the museum.
One of the first images taken with the new camera, after the old one drowned. Not sure what to think of it yet. It works so far, but I haven't yet figured out its "performance envelope".

In 1410, the astronomical clock was mounted on the south side of the tower, but it was not completed until later.

The clock inside Wells Cathedral
The Wells Cathedral clock is an astronomical clock in the north transept of Wells Cathedral, England. The clock is one of the group of famous 14th to 16th century astronomical clocks to be found in the West of England. The surviving mechanism, dated to between 1386 and 1392, was replaced in the 19th century, and was eventually moved to the Science Museum in London, where it continues to operate.
