Thank you for taking the time to call back and follow the link.. <br />Nancy did the post about Holy Trinity with those great pictures being sent in by email.

I suppose I could have guessed really because Tom Shepley St is where it is.<br />Thanks too for the magnificent views from Holy Trinity tower and the history of the Potts clock there. In Darlington where I live there are some splendid examples of Potts' public clocks.Werneth Lownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-91604091143717446652011-09-30T08:31:16.290+01:002011-09-30T08:31:16.290+01:00Hi Werneth Low
