Centre of Hamilton
Hamilton has suffered badly at the hands of those who thought that they could maintain a traffic flow through an urban area. There are several 1960s roads carving up the centre. Here opposite Baird's (a department store) is a busy junction of Duke Street and Quarry Street (my map says Gateside, the signs on site say Quarry Street) One of the roads however is pedestrianised ( the continuation of Quarry Street, centre left).

Pyramidal Clock sculpture (detail)
For a view of the sculpture as a whole, see Image
This is the base on the southern side. The three sides each bear the text "what time is now – time", but it is represented in Braille and in sign-language on the other two sides. Above the text on each side is a ring of twelve figures (on this side, these are mostly the old planetary symbols — by which I mean the alchemical symbols for the planets), with constellations depicted in the space within. The text at the bottom of the sculpture, on this side, reads (between the names of the sculptors):
55°47´N 4°25´W CAELUM NOCTIS S I.I.MM 00.01G.M.T.
Apart from the latitude and longitude, this line, presumably referring to the star chart within the ring, is to be interpreted as "the night sky, [when looking] south, on January 1st, 2000, at 00:01 GMT". The S (south) is replaced by WNW and ENE on the other two sides; as well as applying to the star charts, it indicates the direction faced by each side of the sculpture.
[In this inscription, the Latin word "caelum" means "sky"; however, it is also the (Latin) name of a southern constellation, one that is never visible from here. The constellation name Caelum means "chisel"; the two Latin words, though identical in spelling, are unrelated.]
