Penrith

This is our nearest large town, where most people in the area will do a lot of their shopping. The clock tower int he center is the Musgrave Monument, Penrith's distinctive clock tower standing in the Market Square, was erected in 1861 as a tribute from the town to Sir George and Lady Musgrave of nearby Eden Hall, in memory of their eldest son.

So this is Penrith? It has a continental look about tit - could be in Germany!

The clock tower is quite useful because you can keep an eye on the time easily, it has a clock face on all four sides of the tower.
