Summary
| Description |
English: Tower Clock, on the corner of Baxter gate, French Gate, St Sepulcher Gate and High Street, Doncaster There has been a clock on the site since 1731, but the present Clock Corner was not built until 1894. The clock was converted to an electric drive mechanism forty years ago but by 2004 it had failed. Contractors have replaced the broken clock mechanism and face and have cleaned and painted the hands and surround. The clock plays a Westminster chime on the hour and every quarter from 8 am to 10 pm. In addition, for ten day's before Christmas the clock will play the Christmas carol Silent Night and on New Years Eve, Auld Lang Syne. The repair and restoration work, undertaken by Smith's of Derby Ltd, specialist clock conservation and maintenance engineers, cost £6000 and took around 12 weeks to complete. |
