The visit to Swindon arose from my earlier trip to Trowbridge.

Warminster is a small historic market town in Wiltshire, with a population of 18,000.

Trowbridge, population 37,000, is the county town of Wiltshire, although it is now the unitary authority of Wiltshire rather than the county council.

Colwyn Bay is the last in this run of North Wales coastal towns.

Off the North Wales main line at Llandudno Junction and up the branch to Llandudno.

On a very windy and wet day, Holyhead, on an island off an island off the mainland of Wales, feels like the end of the world.

Rhyl can be found on the North Wales coast (but probably only if you are looking), which is an area which I have never explored before.

Rain and cold, sleet and cold, snow and cold.

We are now at the junction of Clarence Street and The Royal Crescent.

Cheltenham is perhaps best known for its race course and for being the home of GCHQ, but it is now time to put in on the map for its clocks.

No clock to start with, but we can't investigate Banbury without showing the Banbury Cross of nursery rhyme fame: Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross To see a fine lady upon a white horse With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes She shall have music…

The Covid 19 lockdown is a good time to catch up with some of the backlog on this blog (so many towns, so many clocks, so little effort on my part to keep up to date).

The station at Wemyss Bay is a glorious example of engineering elegance, providing spacious, light and weather protected space for passengers.

In Lockerbie for a meeting on a very wet day.

A rare excursion across the border into Wales for todays' posting.

Dr Foster went to Gloucester, in a shower of rain - I have also paid a visit, but for me the weather was quite good.

To Bath, in glorious sunshine, with not even the hint of a shower (groan) As is usual, we start at the railway station.

Macclesfield on a bit of a wet and windy day in March.

Its been a long time.

This all started in Piccadilly, central London.
