Clock tower:

You get a point for a clock tower at any time of day.
One bonus point if the clock is indicating 10 o’clock (analog or digital clock face)
10 o’ clock can be day or nighttime
So, if the hands show 10 o’clock and it is obviously night (or the digits show 22:00) there is a further bonus.
And if you can place the site on the Drone Scene map (see rules for conditions) you will get a further bonus.

We are using the current definition of county so you will have to venture outside the boundaries of West Yorkshire. Contrary to local belief, life does exist outside of God’s own County …

We are looking for structures that are classed as towers. As with all things, if you can convince us with proof from a reputable source that something is called a tower we will accept.

The acid test is that, if you showed the picture to a reasonable person down the pub - or in the park - what would;d they call the object you photographed? If it matches the subject being asked for then you are probably ok. Remember though that radio masts, even if called towers, often have buildings close to their base.

A waterside pub is one that has at least one of it’s boundaries directly adjacent to a body of water - canal, river, lake, sea ,

The questions aren’t daft. You have come late to the party. We are not usually this helpful!
