Lindley Clock Tower

Today we were in Huddersfield for an urban orienteering event.

This impressive tower really caught the eye. It was designed in the Art Noveau style. The figures on each of the corner buttresses represent the four virtues: Faith (east), Love (south), Purity (west) and Justice (north).
Portrayed on the frieze are the four seasons, with spring symbolized by almond blossom, summer by the rose, autumn by the apple and winter by holly. 
The gargoyles represent “the beasts fleeing from the tower of time” and are described as The Lazy Dog, The Vicious Dog, The Cunning Dog and the Greedy Dog.
I thought I had lost the second car key on my travels only to find it wedged on my camera between the lens and grip.  A huge relief as these electronic keys are very expensive to replace!
