SecretLeeds - History, culture and architecture in Leeds

On checking what the time was when I near Leeds Town Hall today (Sept 10 2015) the clock showed 12:00. Looking again soon after it still showed 12:00 so I began to be suspicious and waited for a few minutes and it did not change. I then noticed that the two clocks that I could see from the Calverley Street and The Headrow junction both showed 12:00. I took these photos at just gone 12:15 (my camera clock is correct!). Having finished what I had to do I happened to look again at 13:30 and the clocks still showed 12:00. I guess the clocks (I only saw the two faces) are undergoing maintenance but I wonder if it had just started or has it been going on for a while? It's confusing when clocks are wrong!

Hi Leodian,

I'm pretty sure that the Town hall clocks have been at "High Noon" for a few weeks now. Seems very strange doesn't it ??

According to the Leeds Council Twitter account (posted on the 18th August), it's being repaired: https://twitter.com/LeedsCC_News/status ... 5327256577. They normally set the time on clocks undergoing maintenance to 12:00 as I suppose it's a neutral setting to sort out the mechanism.

Back to normal now...
