Slough Clocks

I took these photos earlier this week during a visit to Slough, unfortunately I was rushed for time so I only managed to photograph a few of Slough's clocks.

Slough is located west of London and is a 15 minute train journey from Paddington Station. The town centre is undergoing a major redevelopment. My walk from the station to my meeting was a maze of diversions around many different construction sites. I'm sure it will be 'amazing' when complete!

Slough Station

Slough Station Clock - the time was wrong. I took the photo at 9:38am but the clock shows 6:40am!

Slough Town Hall

Town Hall Clock, this clock was also showing the incorrect time. The time was 9:55 but the clock showed 10:05 am.

Kashmiri Karahi restaurant.
The restuarant is an authentic pakistani restaurant situated in Salthill park in Slough.

Kashmiri Karahi restaurant clock- also with the incorrect time.

University of West London

University of West London Clock. Again with the incorrect time. The two clock faces visible here both show a different time, and again both clocks are wrong!

I have no idea what clock this is. I spotted the clock in the distance and took a photo. (also has the wrong time)

I have a theory: the more clocks an area has the wealthier it is. This certainly holds true for the city of London. In the square mile of the city I've never seen so many clocks, and most of them work!

Slough's Town centre has it's fair share of clocks, all though a number of them have the wrong time :(

Maybe with a bit of research I'll be able to come up with a graph mapping a city's wealth to the number of working clocks :)

85 Clerkenwell Road, London

85 Clerkenwell Road, London, was originally build as a warehouse in the mid 1800s. It has a complete refurbishment planned for this year - I hope they leave the clock!

Paddington Station Clock, London

Paddington Station Clock - at 9:05am. The Train in the photo was delayed by over 20 minutes!

Paddington Station, Platform 1

I took these photos on Tuesday at Paddington Station. The first photo was taken from platform 2, and the second photo shows platform 1 - taken out of the window of the delayed train on platform 2.

Atlas House Clock

This is Atlas House in the City of London on the corner of King and Cheapside streets. The double faced clock overhangs Cheapside Street. Above the clock is Atlas supporting the world on his shoulders.

Atlas House

Atlas clock, with Atlas holding the world on this shoulders.

The building is Georgian, designed by the English Architect Thomas Hopper and was completed in 1836. The original owner I believe was the Atlas Assurance company, now it is the home of Barclays Bank.

House of Fraser City Clock

'House of Fraser' Clock in the City of London

I took this photo after crossing over London bridge (heading north). This is the London City branch of the House of Fraser on King William Street. It is a premium departmental store with 61 stores in London and Ireland.

London Waterloo Train Station Entrance Clock

Close-up photo of the clock

London Waterloo Train Station Clock

The traditional meeting point at London Waterloo Train Station is under the four faced clock which is hanging in the middle of the station concourse. There are 19 platforms!

The station concourse looks small from the angle I took this photo, but the concourse also extends a long way behind me. There were relatively few people at the station (11:20am on a Saturday). On a weekday during rush hour the station is packed.
