The Clock Tower
In the heart of Admirals Yard stands the old clock tower. Situated on the site of the old Easton village well, this ornate clock tower is surrounded by an equally orante fountain, providing fresh water to the locals.
The clock tower was built using driftwood that washed up in the harbour following the destruction of Weston. It is rumoured that the body of a small boy was found among the driftwood and that he was buried under the clocktower to keep his spirit at peace by being close to what remains of his home. This rumour has then given rise to further superstition, that being that the spirit of the boy can be seen inside the clockface at sunset on what is thought to be the anniversary of the disaster. There may be some truth to it, as the clock has been known to stop at some time overnight, despite being so accurate the rest of the year that the Admiral sets his clock by it.
