Leeds Town Hall Clock Tower

Leeds Town Hall Clock Tower

This photograph is of the clock tower on Leeds Town Hall, featured on this blog yesterday.

I did not know till I was writing this post but the clock was designed by London clockmaker Frederick Dent, who along with his father Edward Dent created the clock, commonly known as Big Ben, at the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London.

  1. I'm still in love with those columns! Yes Paul Goodwill is probably the best known charity in the US for donating old clothes and just about anything else you don't need anymore, even cars!
