Tarnopol's Clock Tower

Tarnopol's Clock tower

Tarnopol's Clock Tower is a weird folly on the water's edge within sight of both Suiddock and Remasweg. It stands 50 feet tall, but the bulk of the uppermost storey is crumbling and unsafe, with gaping cracks in the walls.

The metal struts and girders supporting the great bronze bells are still intact, though, and the bells survive.

The grotesque gargoyles and arabesques which decorated the original design have either fallen into the street (once or twice a year more bricks fall from the tower, prompting calls for its demolition) or have been defaced, but the main doors to the clock tower are still intact and show signs of being kept in working order.
