Several Moto BP forecourts are well through the £2 barrier

In Salisbury, a former @WHSmith clock with corporate name rather than numbers. This was first the Assembly Rooms, bought by WHS in 1924, and most recently @Waterstones. Vane on cupola apparently depicts a paperboy chasing a paper in wind. Public clocks are such ace public gifts.
