Was that the one on King William Street? If it is I have been trying
to find out what happened to that for about 5 years now. They used to
have an old "speaking clock", (you know the 'at the third stroke'
job). It is the most amazing thing to watch this huge mechanical box
with cogs, servos and bits of audio tape, chugging out the time.

I'd love to see it again.

Cheers

Alex!
