Not all regions have a clockface they can use.
Surely everywhere has a Town Hall, church, or railway station with a decent looking clock?
Exactly.
Arguably, nowhere has a clock that's "known" or iconic in anything like the same way that Westminster's Elizabeth Tower is, but there'll be at least something suitable in any given region.
In many such cases, if enough of the wider building/structure to which the clock is attached (or even a nearby building/structure that forms part of the wider vista) is show on screen in the ident, then it may be a bit more recognisable/iconic etc than the clock face itself is.
Perhaps Osborne House on the Isle of Wight for Meridian (South), for example? The Liver Building for Granada... etc etc.
Central (West) could use more-or-less the same view that was their previous projection-screen "window" - with St. Martin's Church providing the clock face. To anyone who's not a church architecture anorak, I'm sure that most churches/cathedrals probably look fairly interchangeable, so St. Martin's itself won't really have the e.g. "Liver Building" factor. However, the wider view in which it sits has the very iconic Selfridges (Bull Ring) "spaceship" building.
