Guildford Guildhall Clock

A surprise invite from Penny and Steve to have lunch (tapas) with them and Pete in Guildford as a birthday treat for us both. And a lovely treat it was - I tried various dishes which I have never had before. Delicious. And also lovely just to be together. Walking up the High Street it is impossible to miss this clock which hangs over the pedestrianised street from the historic Guildford Guildhall. 

Installed in 1683 during the reign of Charles 2nd, it was restored in 2014. you can read all about this here: https://www.smithofderby.com/projects/guildford-projecting-clock/
However I am not sure that the original is still there - see this: https://guildford-dragon.com/iconic-guildhall-clock-to-be-sold-facsimile-to-replace-it-in-2023/
