Here is a photo I took of the Dent clock at St Pancras station. This clock is an exact replica of the original station clock.

Lille Town Hall Belfry
Befroi de l'hotel de ville - Town hall belfry - Lille France
This bell tower is 104m tall. It was built in 1932 and replaced the original bell tower that was destroyed by fire in 1916.
It is possible to climb the stairs to the top of the tower from April to September - which I intend to do on my next visit to Lille.
