A familiar seaside landmark is running on time once again.
The historic clock, perched on Yellowave Beach Sports Venue in Hove, has been brought back to life after years of silence.
The building was once a toilet block on Hove seafront, which now houses the second Yellowave venue to open in Brighton and Hove, complete with a café and beach sports facilities.

The team at Yellowave, who restored the clock, said it was an important part of the building’s character.
Katie Mintram, director of Yellowave Beach Sports, said: "The clock is such a recognisable feature on the seafront and we loved the idea of getting it working again.
"So many people walk past this building every day and it feels really special to see it ticking once more.
"We’re incredibly proud of how the old building has been transformed into a space full of life, sport, coffee and community, while still keeping elements of its original character.
"Our next aim is to try and get the fountain in the pond working again."
The building has been through a significant redevelopment, now housing the Yellowave Café and reception along with a range of beach sports facilities and community activities.
Since opening, the venue has become a popular spot for beach volleyball and beach tennis, as well as a hub for families, dog walkers, and sea swimmers.
The working clock now stands as a centrepiece above the north entrance of the café.
Locals have welcomed its return, saying it adds a sense of nostalgia and character to the seafront.
Yellowave said the restoration is part of its wider approach to creating welcoming community spaces that celebrate Brighton and Hove’s beach culture and seaside heritage.
