What is recorded here

Hutchesons Hall clock tower is a castle, fort or tower in Glasgow City, Scotland. Perhaps its clock still strikes for people who forgot the hour but never stopped listening. Maybe the hall itself has vanished while the tower remains, marking time for an absent building. Imagine a room where forgotten years return whenever the bell sounds.
