Seem to remember there being some interesting snippets of information regarding the town
clock in my cherished copy of Oliver Jones's "Early Days of Sirhowy &
Tredegar"; will have to have a look. Duw, if I only had a quid for every time
I've stood by the clock eating chips!!! In olden times, of course, it would have been
scallops from Cavanna's!

I remember the clock very well. I lived in Rhymney but went to Tredegar
every day to work and to meet my first boyfriend. The clock was the place
where I caught the bus. Last time I was there it looked very sad.
===================
Dear Listers,
I photographed the clock only five years ago (in March 2003) for a client in
Florida. The clock was then keeping good time and the supporting column and
base looked in pristine condition.
A plaque near base of the clock stated:
-----------
Presented to the town of Tredegar from the proceeds of a bazaar promoted by
the late Mrs R P Davis.
Erected 1858
-----------
I have temporarily uploaded my photo of the clock onto my website, where it
can be accessed by going directly to:

Kind regards,
John
