United Kingdom The Four Faced Liar, Barnstaple
The clock tower was built after the death of Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria. Originally, the four clock faces were unsynchronised, meaning they told slightly different times, hence the name. This tradition had been upheld, despite the clocks being modernized.
Photography Tips
A wide angle lens is good for the entire tower, but there are also plenty of opportunities for close up shots in the area.
