401. Bexhill-on-Sea commemorative clock, Sussex
For many years, No.1 Church Street used to be the warehouse and shop for Cave Austin’s grocers, before becoming an Antiques Centre, and more recently the heath and beauty spa ‘Quakersmill.’
The Clock was put up on the 20th June 1887, to mark the Golden Jubilee of the reign of Queen Victoria. There was a very bad fire in the early hours of the morning of 20th June 1908, which badly damaged the warehouse and the neighbouring doctor’s surgery.
The clock was also damaged and the works fell to the ground. The casing was not too badly damaged and the clock was given new workings and restored to its original state.
