Re: The Arndale Clock
 

I kept wondering why there was so much interest in the fate of a shopping centre clock- now I've seen Atarahs video I can see why! What a brilliant design and watching the video his other projects are just as fascinating. I can see why you all miss it.

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

It will cost alot of money, as Gayle said.

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

They could also give the clock a new home in;
The proposed new Bus Station
The new Railway Station
The Coppice and
The Viaduct

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

Since when did they have electric up Coppice to power a clock?

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

I can just visualise it on top of the Coppice. Every hour people going up to see what time it is.It's a classic is that. The Viaduct one, I'm not even going to think about that one.

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

I sure Gayle would be in favour of the 'top of the Coppice' suggestion
:eek: ;) :D

That is if she's got over the Pan............oh that forbidden word on here:D

Extra!, Extra!, Read all about it!;
It's high time the world clock returned to Accrington | Accrington Observer - menmedia.co.uk

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

Ya you've told us once already

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

It was a mechanical novelty at the time.
Novelty wears off, and it isn't 'beautiful', so why bother preserving it (other than as a museum exhibit)

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

Can't fault that one little bit, mind you its nice to agree with you for once:D

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

It's a lot more interesting / visually appealing than any of the things that subsequently replaced it. I wouldn't call it beautiful, but it's definitely something that people stop and look at - and let's face it, our town centre needs all the help it can get.

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

Spot on, its interesting n unusual as well, margaret wont bother as she rarely goes out.

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

:D true :D - but the restoration of the clock isn't enough to tempt me.

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

I agree and all the young children that didnt see it the first time will be able to see it in action.
It may be old fashioned and not as modern but still interesting imho.
