Oakwood Clock Restored

I blipped this clock tower a while ago (five years almost to the day) whilst it was still awaiting restoration.

Well today was the first time that I have been past it since then - so I took the opportunity to go and photograph it again. The information board says restoration was completed in 2015! What a magnificent job they have done - it looks splendid. I have added and extra shot to show the clock and ornamental work in more detail.

So, why was I there today? Well, Mrs madwill was teaching a workshop in nearby Rounday, and she had ordered some equipment for it, which had failed to arrive at her studio on Friday - so whilst she went off to teach, I went to the studio to await the parcel (which fortunately arrived not long after 9 a.m.) and I then drove into Leeds to deliver the stuff to her.

I also took the opportunity to have a cup of coffee in a cafe which has recently opened up on the site of the old public toilets across the road! You can see it in the background.
