I have literally been trying to find some photos of these clocks as Brunels is now back open and a few lovely ladies informed of this quirky past of the Midland. Please if you find any can someone post them?

It must be over fifty years since I had a drink in the Midland. That was in the days when all the clocks were on show – talk about ‘time gentlemen please’, it was quite an experience to be having a pint on the hour when all, or most of the clocks chimed at once, (or thereabouts).
Whatever happened to all those clocks I wonder – Are there any photos about of those ‘time’s and chimes of long ago?
