Waddo 747 Report post Posted February 11, 2019 Ya beat me to it Ian, but just to add a bit, the clock was built by 'Copes ', our very own word famous watch maker. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IAN123. 9,295 Report post Posted February 11, 2019 Forgot about Copes!..did they have a maintenance contract for 101 years or summat?..cheers Waddo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waddo 747 Report post Posted February 11, 2019 Don't know about the maintenance contract, but if they did, it's up in 8 years time!!. To add further, apparently it's the most accurate electric chiming clock. Another + for Nottingham, although it doesn't mean much nowadays!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My guess is this is Bobbers Mill road looking towards Radford road from near Darley road. Could this be one of Smith's old factories, checking the car number for the possible date.
