The Clock Gets its Seventh Wall
I said in an earlier post, that I was missing the clock.
Well, I’m not anymore, as it is now on its seventh wall.
The Brass Clock
As you can see it is a typical Kelvin and Hughes ship’s clock, that C bought for me in probably 1969 as a birthday present. She bought it in a junk shop in Liverpool and was assured that it had come from the SS Great Eastern, when it was broken up. A very unlikely story, although the ship was broken up in Liverpool and it probably had thousands of clocks. But Kelvin and Hughes did not merge until the 1940s!
It has proved very reliable over the years and except for a major repair in about 1995, it hasn’t needed any attention.
Our home has never been complete without this clock on the wall.
