A one hundred- and eleven-year-old Leeds-made clock which once kept time at an Edwardian holiday hotspot is alive and ticking after being restored to its former glory.
Once the stalwart timepiece at Morecambe Promenade railway station, the impressive clock has taken pride of place at Leeds Industrial Museum this week after months of painstaking restoration work.
The timepiece is now part of a new interactive display which explores the ways peoples’ working patterns have been governed by the clock.
John McGoldrick, Leeds Museums and Galleries' curator, said: “It’s quite a proud moment to see the clock going back on display, keeping time in a place where it’s surrounded by so many other examples of Leeds’s long history of leading the way in the fields of industrial and technological innovation.
“Potts and Sons started out as very much a local, family firm, but they became the benchmark for Victorian clockmakers and their creations were eventually installed at public buildings all around the world.
“This particular timepiece must have been one of the very first things that tens of thousands of Edwardians saw when they arrived at Morecambe for their summer holidays. It’s great to think that our visitors will get the chance to enjoy it now too.”
