The water clock was originally designed for Thames Water to help promote water recycling. Now it stands on Southwold Pier where it raises about £6,000 for various charities.

Totally fantastic. The best part is - THE PATINA - Jon. What about the genius of the PATINA?????? durban · 2012-08-11: 04:21

My husband wants to build a similar thing in our garden (perhaps not so big)... he says regular water features are boring... he wanted to use the avocardo green toilet we removed somehow and call it the bog garden... I ask you! Annbramwell · 2012-08-11: 05:19
