![]() Tregony, Town Clock c1955 (ref: T208308) |
Tregony clock tower
The clock tower has two dates on it - one from the original building, and one from when it was restored. Apparently the village council sold the clock to a visiting Australian who wanted to take it back to his country. The villagers were outraged, dismantled the clock overnight, and hid it in a local field for twenty years until they were sure it was safe. Ealing comedy via Cornwall! I lived in the house in the photo, so the clock is very dear to my heart. Posted: 11/03/2007 22:35 by Amanda Pickering |
