It stands on what is now the local Yacht Club which overlooks the wonderful canal basins. Many years ago it would have been very important for the locals going to work as they relied on its accuracy to be on time. The dominance of the clock face has seen lots of changes over the years including a new Bridge in 1870. Its seen the River Severn freezing over. with cars driving on the ice and major flooding particularly in 2000 and 2010. And many more events. The clock face and façade have been renovated but the inside workings are still original. The Stourport Town Council is responsible for the maintenance of the clock but who winds it up every Sunday and keeps the time accurate? Features Cllr. Dave Little mayor of Stourport. Pauline Annis, Chairman of the Civic Society does the narration. For more information www.stourporttown.co.uk www.facebook.com/STOURPORTPAST/ albertmogg1942@gmail.com
