Happy faces will return to historic clock tower this week Date published: 17 January 2021
The historic clock tower in Failsworth
Time is set to stand still in Failsworth this week with repairs and servicing of the historic clocktower due to begin tomorrow (Monday).
The faulty clock was reported back in October by Failsworth Councillor Sean Fielding who tweeted an image at the time of one of the clocks four faces displaying ten minutes to seven at quarter to twelve in the morning.
Clock repair specialists, Penrith-based Cumbria Clocks, attended the site and attempted to reset the clocktower’s four dials, but were only able to carry out work on three with the fourth frozen on the external face.
