Davis Clock Tower

Highlight • Monument

The clock tower was given to the town in 1925 by the widow of William Davis, J.P. who had thrice been mayor of the town. The chimes fairly quickly fell out of use due to complaints from nearby residents.

The clock was overhauled by Smiths of Derby in 1986, at which time the bells were brought back into action but with a night silencing mechanism.
The bells are hung in two tiers, 2, 3 & 4 on top, at the level of the sound openings. The notes, in descending order, are G#, F#, E, B and A

Pump Room Gardens Bandstand

Highlight • Monument

The original Bandstand was manufactured in 1899 by Walter McFarlane & Co, of the Saracen Foundry, Glasgow, (item no 224 in their catalogue of iron goods.) Similar models were cast for many equally affluent towns up and down 19th century Britain. During restoration, amongst other things, ‘Lost Art’ discovered that under the 150 years’ worth of Paint, some cast iron sections were so badly corroded that the ironwork had deteriorated beyond repair. Those parts had to be copied, by casting identical sections, involving painstaking construction of replica moulds. Talking to camera, the restorers at ‘Lost Art’ expressed their enormous admiration for the men who manufactured the original pieces, and their own great pleasure in using their skills to restore and where needed, reproduce matching pieces.
