BTW, you don't need a trailing apostrophe on "its". "It's" is a contraction
of "it is" or "it has"; otherwise, >it is just "its".

Sorry - I'm afraid there is such a thing as a possessive apostrophe as well
as an abbreviative apostrophe.   The town of Farnborough has a clock house
at its' centre is the correct use.   Trust me - my uncle worked for the OED.
