TIME has stood still for one of the clocks in the Keynsham Clocktower since it was damaged by a mysterious fault.
The cause is not yet known, but a spell of hot weather has been blamed.
It appears that the banding inside the clock face has come off, wrapping itself around the hands. One of the hands is still attached but the other has fallen loose.
A spokesperson from BANES Council said: “We are aware of the problem and will be fixing it.”
The clocktower, which was commissioned by Bath and North East Somerset Council in 2015, has three sides and three clock faces. Only one of the faces is affected.
In the meantime, some have likened the clock to Salvador Dali’s painting The Persistence of Memory.
