Welcome
As a collector I was inspired and encouraged to set up this website by a friend who set up a similar site some time ago, and has since had very positive feedback from other like minded collectors who enjoy looking at clocks.My interest is in pre 1750 clocks namely provincial longcase, hook and spike clocks and hooded wall clocks. I enjoy the quirky nature of many early cases and the often busy nature of the dials.
I apologise in advance for the quality of some of the pictures, but hope that in time they will improve with a little practise. Full length shots of the longcase clocks are proving to be the most difficult , but will follow in due course.
Shortly I will be adding some new clocks to the site including a very early 8 day clock byThomas Bridge of Wigan c1715 , a 30 hour by Hindley De Wigan, later of york, an 8 day clock by John Burges illustrated in the book on Wigan clocks, and a very early 30 hour by Thomas Bridge senior, father of Thomas Bridge of Wigan who was working in Bolton lancs .
My particular interest is in early clocks from Wigan and the surrounding area which I collect whenever possible.
I hope you enjoy looking at a selection of my collection and welcome any feedback.
