The information sheet for the turret clock at St Mary’s, #Piddlehinton, is almost a relic in its own right.

The #turretclock was constructed by John Moore & Sons of Clerkenwell in 1856. There have been a few restorations of the clock in the intervening 155 years, however it is still essentially the same as when it was first installed. Later restorations were done by @SmithofDerby

Today was the official reopening of the Caledonian Clock tower in Islington after a nearly 2 million pound grant from the Heritage Lottery fund. In September 2017 I was asked to make a demonstration clock and pin wheel escapement for the tour guides to use. Here is the result.
