Perth Town Hall Clock

Dating back to 1829, not old by some standards, since we are still a very young country in comparison to most others to all who live here it is classed as 'old'.
The City of Perth was founded on the 12th August 1829 by the felling of a tree on the allotment set apart military Barracks, between the Town Hall and the Treasury Building a few metres away.
The clock was made by Thwaits & Reeds of Clerkenwell London.
It is made up of three bells.
The clock is housed in a glazed timber structure, constructed in 1880, to protect the mechanism. the Bells are inscribed 'Starbane, founder London 1868'..
The firm N.R.Ennis & Sons were contracted to maintain the clock in 1942.
3 generations of the Ennis family have provided care and maintenance of the Perth Town Hall Clock. In 1959, the Ennis company was contracted to automate the winding system which has proved to be reliable and efficient to this day.
The bells only stay silent on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, in remembrance of Armistice day.

We caught the bus and train not the City, we don't do this often enough, as we like the Australian bush too much and being far from the madding crowd, today was one of those days we thought it time we wandered around the real world for a while, Perth never ceases to please us when we do wander round it, we particularly like the old structures as opposed to the new buildings, skyscrapers and the like, here you can see the old and the new, the old Town Hall is steeped in history.
A lovely day spent wandering, we will be back in the hills and the Australian bush again by the weekend the weather is said to be warming up by then ...
