What is recorded here

Clock Tower, Knighton, Powys is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps a keeper wound the gears at dawn and watched the valley fill with fog. Maybe the tower measured hours for farmers who could not afford watches of their own. Imagine a brass hand sweeping over brass numbers while children pressed their faces to the glass.
