概要
クイックファクト: グルダスプール市の中心部にそびえ立つこの植民地時代の時計台は、19世紀後半から街のリズムを刻み続けています。その4面の機構は今も手動で巻き上げられており、管理人が毎週100段以上の階段を上って作業を行っています。
見どころ: 数十年前に時を刻むのを止めた多くの時計台とは異なり、この時計台は今もオリジナルの鐘で毎正時を鳴らし、地元の人々はそれで時計を合わせています。巻き上げ機構では管理人が毎週30キロの重りを引き上げる必要があり、その儀式は一世紀以上にわたり変わらず続いています。
インサイダーヒント
- Ask the caretaker nicely and he may let you step inside the tower's base for a view of the massive gears in motion.
- Visit during a weekday morning when the square is quieter and you can photograph the tower without crowds or parked vehicles.
- Combine this with a walk through the adjacent Gurdaspur old market to see the British-era buildings surrounding the square.
- The best photo angle is from the southeast corner of the square, catching both the tower face and its shadow across the pavement.
