Some of these are in private gardens, but the majority are publicly available.

Union Wharf, Market Harborough

The gnomon is a human figure supporting a plank (the dial is known as ’Frank the Plank’)! Unlabelled hour and half-hour lines are inscribed on the short horizontal plank, and there may also be hour markers on the surrounding paving - to be confirmed. Details from web photos; more info and photos requested.
