If you visit the Dolphin Tavern in Red Lion St., London you'll see two clocks on the wall, one works and the other is frozen at a moment in time. On the 8th September 1915 a German airship (L13) dropped high explosive bombs along a string of locations (which can still be followed today) one of them hit the pub. It was razed to the ground. When it was rebuilt they found the pub clock in the rubble and it was frozen at the time of the attack, that's the clock on the right, 10:40 was the time.
