Re: Let's Get That Goblin Clock Back, Everyone!!!
 

I havn't been to Accy for a while but I think that clock should be put back - it's just part of Accrington - put it back bigger and better! ;)

Re: Let's Get That Goblin Clock Back, Everyone!!!
 

If it was put back bigger and better, it wouldn't be the same clock.
:confused:

I agree about the clock,after all it cost enough in the first place.!!!!.

On Tues I was helping out, as a volunteer, at the Museum in the Market stall. I met a lovely gentleman who was telling me that his firm were involved in the setting up of the clock (the hydraulics side of things). He knew all about the clock being stashed away under The Arndale and he reckoned it WOULDNT be that expensive to get it up and running again. I took his telephone number. You just never know ........... :-)

In fact, might be a good time to remind Accywebbers (and the new members) all about the clock:-

There is only going to be the clock in the Arndale, the rate at which retailers are going out.

Am I alone in actually not missing that clock?

Re: Let's Get That Goblin Clock Back, Everyone!!!
 

You might be, when my kids were toddlers we couldn't go down town without visiting it, that in itself meant waiting for everything to happen, so we would look around the shops and maybe spend something until it did.

I never saw the fascination with it when it was first installed I certainly wasn't one of those hanging around until the big finger was on twelve to see it perform, only saw it actually in action once and that was by chance

Re: Let's Get That Goblin Clock Back, Everyone!!!
 

If the restoration of the clock would mean an increase in footfall and an increase in the spending in the Arndale then let the shops there pay for the restoration from their increase in receipts. There are far more important things that need council (our), money spending on.

Spot on Barrie far more important things need doing the time for these projects is when we're on an even keel
