General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

There's a great link - here and I think it tells more of the clock, but I haven't found it yet. In the meantime, this struck me as quite interesting :

'Leigh Time Signal, 1899

When Evans died, his signal was discontinued but by a letter written in December 1898, William Edward Marsh offered to buy the apparatus and present it to the urban district. His offer was accepted and a rocket house was built at the Technical School, where on 12 July 1899 the first signal went up. Here for forty years the rocket became a reliable and regular feature; it was discontinued on the outbreak of war in 1939.'
