Inside the clock tower at the old carpet mill. Having seen "Hugo," when I climbed up the ladder I expected to see a bunch of huge gears that would tear my arm off if the clock was still running. But it was all pretty spindly, actually. Another thing I did not expect: All the individual light bulbs that were originally right behind the clock faces. I thought there would be one big bulb in the middle. And in fact, all the little ones appear to have been replaced by a big one in later years.

In watery December sun. In the 19th Century, the (obfuscated glass) clock face was illuminated from behind by gas light. In the Middle Ages, the ground floor of the tower was let as a shop, and above it was living accomodation for the shopkeeper, and above that accomodation for the clock keeper and his family. Off a spiral staircase inside were two unventilated garderobes over a narrow vertical shaft descending to a cesspit in the basement of the tower. The stench from these garderobes must have been noticeable.
