Clock in York Railway Museum |
This station clock used by the staff an passangers of the Great Western Railway Worcester Shrub Hill Station for over 100 years. It was retired in 1962. Made by Fairer of London in about 1850. It was a symbol of a growing awareness of time in Victorian Britain. Today we take it for granted that clocks in the UK are set to standard national time, But for the railway companies operating trains by timetable over many miles of track, a standard national toime was essential. Greenwich Mean Time provided this standard and soon what became known as 'Railway Time' or 'London Time' was followed by all Britain's clocks. |
