William Rowland

[ukelele lady]

I use to pass this place almost every day in the past but never

knew what they made even though many of the neighbours worked there.

For years the clock stayed at twelve o'clock.

This is the bottom end of Scotland Street with St Vincents church in the background.

A Then & Now to prove not much has changed, the new flats block out the view of St Vincents

The clock was wrong in the U/l's photo and is still the same, is this a record for a clock being wrong lol

No, - that clock is right twice a day!

Of course it is also possible that both pictures were taken at the same time of day and the clock is working perfectly.

I like clocks, - I'm sure skeets had a topic about them somewhere? <_<
