Here’s some local folklore about the clock tower, told to me by my father’s cousin, Douglas Longhorn (deceased) of Goole. There are only three clocks on the four faces of the tower. The one looking across the river is blank because the farmer living there refused to contribute to the fund in 1865.

In reply to Gand. Well worth it. The clocks were originally provided by Potts I think but I couldn’t find enough evidence to include this.

Well it looks like a trip east to clock that is on the cards.
