 Town Clocks
by: Town Clocks The manufacture of clocks became a thriving industry in the 14th and 15th centuries. Every town soon had to have its own.

Today you can still find many of these giant clocks in town centers and other important meeting spots. Find and mark a "Town Clock" that still exists in your area. |
