James North Clock

Here are two photos of "Norths Clock" which now stands at the roundabout next to the Ring 'o' Bells public house. It used to be within the confines of James North Factory before its demolition to make way for a housing estate circa 1998.

    (Too) long time no see, which I feel is a shame on me. I see you are doing valuable work in digging up and preserving local history. Such history is soon forgotten unless people like you take on the job.
    I hope all is well.
