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.

The Historic Clock Tower is situated near the site of the original Bertie's Landing Restaurant, the Victorian Gothic-style Clock Tower has always been an icon of the old docks and has become an important focal point in the Waterfront's recent urban design. This was the original Port Captain's Office completed in 1882.
On the second floor is a decorative mirror room, which enabled the Port Captain to have a view of all activities in the harbour. On the bottom floor is a tide-gauge mechanism used to check the level of the tide. Restoration of the Clock Tower was completed towards the end of 1997.
The Time Ball Tower (invented by Captain Robert Wauchope) is a signaling device in which a ball is dropped at a given time in order for ship masters to determine the error and rate of their chronometers whilst in harbour. The Time Ball Tower in the Waterfront was built in 1894 and is situated next the Harbour Engineer's former residence (Dock House). It remained in use for 40 years after which new technology led to it lying idle for 63 years before being restored and officially recommissioned in November 1997.

September 8, 2014 - The clock tower dates from 1350 -1353 and was used as a lookout tower. Conciergerie was a former prison located on the Île de la Cité. It was part of Palais de la Cité or the royal palace and it is now the Palais de Justice. Marie Antoinette was held here before being paraded around the city and taken to the guillotine.

Blessing ceramic quartz wall clock, made in Germany. The movement takes a C-cell battery, and is also made in Germany. Late 1970s or early 1980s. The slight green colouration on the face (mainly at the bottom) is in the original ceramic glaze.
For the last 150 days I have been greeted by this nasty little device at 05:25 am, just a few more days and the clock will no longer be master!
this is the clock notice board outside the local Primary School. I knew that the clock was there but waited till Saturday, when the school was closed, before taking my camera up to the corner by the school. I am lucky that this clock notice board runs 24/7 not just in school hours. Not only did I get to find out what time of day it was but also when to buy school uniforms and the air temperature outside. Nice warm sunny winter's day!
