The old Terry’s clocktower shrouded in blue construction netting as the surrounding site undergoes transformation.

The title plays on the function of the clocktower and the passage of time, while the image captures a moment between past and future - the old factory still visible, but temporarily obscured as a new development takes its place. It becomes a quiet reflection on what is preserved, what is lost, and how places carry their histories through change.
