DaveH Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Where is it ? OK, Mystery Clock #12 is Steve's picture of, what looks like to me, another railway station clock. Don't suppose it is though and at present I haven't got much of a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct it is not a railway clock, but nearest rail line is just 300 yds away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vox Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Correct it is not a railway clock, but nearest rail line is just 300 yds away. Right then !- I'm off tomorrow with my rail network map and a tape measure. Expect an answer about December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember it's 300 yards vox, not 299 or 301 yards ...and certainly not 300 metres lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 The boards are covering where the St. Mary's Church clock was, the clock (one of four) has been removed and sent away for servicing. Back from servicing and maintainence and being refitted today Going back like new and Wayne Beckett is nowhere in sight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vox Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 No luck with Steve's. I had an idea where I might have seen it. A round black clock, bracketed, on a brick wall, very close to a railway line There the similarities ended I'm afraid. This one is very near to an extinct railway station. Where is it ?

OK vox, MYSTERY CLOCK #13 looks very dodgy, smashed dial and derelict I bet it wasn't 20 past 7 when the photo was took was it Both Steve's #12 and vox's #13 are up for suggestions as to their location.

Eee I don't know vox, looks like you have thrown the towel in then There can't be many boozers in Sheffield that have a clock on the outside wall.

A clock outside a boozer Now thats the dodgy bit sorted. Your clock says 5 to 12 in the picture, would be even dodgier if it was permenantly set to closing time Is there a boozer called "the clock" or "the horologist" or the "what time is it Mr. wolf" or something? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say I'd given up. Soon as you said pub I remembered where I'd seen it. Here - 4:30 so the pub is open.

vox Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Yes Its near a railway line, but not near an extinct station Heres a view from the other side It is an extinct station. I'm sure. Edit: Just checked again and I see where I went wrong. I knew the station was at the junction of A--- Road and A--- Lane. I now realise that A--- Lane has a junction with A--- Road at both ends. The station was at the other end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart0742 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 It is an extinct station. I'm sure. What is, Are you thinking of the buildings on the other side of the road towards the traffic lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those A----- Road, A-----Lane and C----K------Road is actually a big clue and has given me a few ideas as well. Looks like vox messing it up may have helped the rest of us out.
