This building also boasted a rather spiffing sundial, which was making the most of the fine afternoon weather https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/54935253632/in/photostream/lightbox/

I do like a sundial. More awkward to carry than a watch, though.

@LordWoolamaloo apparently the movement from sundials to clocks was driven by the railways, because instead of everybody using the local sundial (solar) time they had to all use railway time to know when the train was going to depart.
