Kind regards

That clock tower is just gorgeous!
Nice juxtaposition! Isn't it nice when your subjects line up properly for the camera? And it's nice that they refitted the clock in a new tower.
Nicely framed! Love the clock too, and it's wonderful that it was saved and restored.
A beautiful clock and an interesting story. I didn't know that they invented the PVC. I wonder whether the had any inkling about what that invention would lead to.
Great picture Gerald... I have been meaning to do a post about this.. in fact I drove past it twice yesterday whilst going to see friends at the Lamb Inn... my brother worked here from a few years dipping the the gloves... it was a very hard job, but paid well...
I love this kind of information, it's quirky and inciteful.
