August 28, 2025 - "The Victorian Gothic-style Clock Tower is an icon of the old Cape Town harbour. It was the original Port Captain's Office built in 1882. The pointed Gothic windows surrounds the structure with a clock, imported from Edinburgh, as a main feature. The red walls are the same colour as they were in the 1800's, having been carefully matched to scrapings of the original paint.
On the second floor there is a decorative mirror room which allowed the captain an overall view of harbour activities.
On the ground floor is a tidal gauge mechanism which was used to check the level of the tide for ships entering or leaving the docks.
The Clock Tower has begun to lean to one side, about 50 mm. This has since been arrested.
The tower has been a focal point in the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront's urban renewal."

Enfield clocks
1929 The company was formed to manufacture clocks in the manner of the German factories. C. Schatz, the main force behind the company obtained suitable premises and brought in machinery and a core of workers from Germany
In 1933 Smiths bought Enfield clocks.

My Moor Pool outing of April 2018 included a handy visit to Bearwood for a catch-up on the restoration progress at Lightwoods House. I also had a quick look around the bus station, noting the presence of this elegant blue and gold clock.
A market stall selling clocks. And yes there is a person in there. The exposure isn't great because of some -very- brightly lit areas and some dark parts, so I'm a bit disappointed with the technical aspect of it. But I really wanted to capture the subject , so I guess it's ended up a bit of a compromise. Hope it doesn't look too bad.
The clock tower of the Town Hall has recently been refurbished. Here it is viewed from Horsefair Street.

I had purchased the old score wheels off ebay and it came with a bunch of old, cloth insulated wires attached to it. so I striped a few off. gives it that nice old look. better than the look of the new red and black wires.

David Wright, an 8 year old school boy from Bath, yesterday failed to arrive back into his school class on time after lunch due to the failure of a dandelion clock to give him an accurate reading.
"I had a feeling that I'd been out on the playing field for about an hour so I blew on the seed head to find out the time." said a distraught David from the detention room. "It told me it was still one o'clock so I stayed out a while longer until another dandelion informed me that it was two o'clock, so I went back to class, only to find myself getting a stiff telling off for playing truant".
The Secretary of State for the Environment, has expressed deep concern about the case and is to launch a public enquiry iinto whether global warming is to blame for the strange behaviour of the nation's flora, and to what extent the damage extends. "I'm just hoping that dock leaves will still be an effective remedy for nettle stings, and that the petal plucking "she-loves-me-she-loves-me-not" test contunues to provide effective relationship advice to lovestruck swains".

The dandelion clock is a very strange clock.
It doesn't say tick, and it doesn't say tock.
It hasn't a cuckoo. It hasn't a chime.
I don't think it can really tell me the time

Be silent child
when you dream
your thoughts are sweet
like dandelions
they grow beyond
a hollow stalk
and burst into a flower.
What seems a weed
to a passersby
is really all you have
of hope
and when you blow
its pearl globe
you'll live inside
the wind..
