I saw this while I was cycling through the city. No idea if it's actually a moving clock or a stationary object, but it looked interesting.
The clock from the main pavilion. A pretty unremarkable photo but one I hope that has been improved by the B&W treatment.
The pavilion is currently due to be renovated under a £4m program. Seems a lot of money but I understand the construction fabric of the building is difficult to repair and in very bad condition.
A National Trust visit to Knightshayes near Tiverton in Devon.
First up was the Stables, where you can find the Stables Cafe and the National Trust gift shop.
It was converted from a working stables into their main visitor hub during the 1980s, it is home to the visitor reception, toilets, Cafe, shop and plant centre.
The stable block was another Burges building, built in 1871 in the typical medieval style. The building has an asymmetric facade, red-painted dormer windows and dominant clocktower. It used to have a carriage house. By the time they had cars, it was used to store them in the early 20th century. During WW2 it was converted into accommodation for American airmen. After the war it was converted into two flats with stores and garden machinery. It was restored in 1988 and converted to provide the cafe, shop, lavatories and reception area for visitors.

Victoria Clock - Grey Scale - Six Sided Clock - The Victoria Tower, Salisbury Dock, by Jesse Hartley, is dated 1848. It is constructed of granite of irregular shaped blocks and takes the form of an octagon with a high tapered circular base which is pierced by round arched openings. Above the base is a string moulding and narrow slits at the first floor below a continuous balcony carried on stone brackets. Higher again are eight circular clock faces and long open slits and round eyes at the top. The tower is crowned by a projecting castellated parapet carried on corbels.

Nancy Peace Brown Carillon Clock on Belle Isle, Detroit. This clock makes beautiful chimes several times throughout the day.
actually called the MART Intermodal Center. (Montachusett Area Regional Transit.)
This station was built in 2000. There used to be quite a large and impressive station here, built in the 19th century and having a clock tower 5 stories high. That station was demolished in 1962 in order to widen route 2A. (Remember, cars outrank trains.)
...and every hour it plays a different tune. I it also lights up and the waterfall becomes animated, there's a button you can press to make the sound of a rushing stream but the only button I want to find is the one that turns off the bloody music. A gift from our landlord which he installed for us right in the middle of our longest living room wall.

In the early 1990s, most computer companies advertised their computers' speed chiefly by referring to their CPUs' clock rates. This led to various marketing games, such as Apple Computer's decision to create and market the Power Macintosh 8100/110 with a clock rate of 110 MHz so that Apple could advertise that its computer had the fastest clock speed available—the fastest Intel processor available at the time ran at 100 MHz. This superiority in clock speed, however, was meaningless since the PowerPC and Pentium CPU architectures were completely different. With a clock speed within the same order of magnitude as the Pentium (and a similarly comparable scale of parallelism within the processors), the Power Mac was faster at some tasks but slower at others.
