In the days before clocks you had to devise other means to tell the time:
Sundial Cottage, Kirklevington
At this university the students, including my daughter, had no excuse for being late to lectures:
Birmingham University
You may have to look hard to check the time when sight seeing in Holland:
Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam
It's not much clearer in this university town where my daughter spent a year:
Freiburg, Germany
But nearer home everything becomes much clearer:
Yarm Town Hall Clock (Not taken in 1710)
Clock in for more at Sepia Saturday 72
