Midland Railway / Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway 12 inch oak cased fusee railway dial clock with a spun brass bezel and a rectangular plated chain driven English fusee movement with screwed pillars. Supplied post 1910 and the original dial repainted post 1950 displays BR-W when the ex S&DJR lines were taken over by the Western Region. The oak case has one side door and a bottom door and has it brass LMS clock numberplate 10516 pinned to the left hand side and is in original good condition. In working condition but not checked for accuracy complete with pendulum and keys. *Note ex LMS clocks on the S&DJR were numbered alphabetically and it is known Ashcott was clock number 10508 and Bailey Gate numbers 10517-10520 so it can be safely assumed that clock 10516 was from a station with the letters A-B i.e. Bawdrip, Bason Bridge, Binegar or Burnham On Sea.
