We've walked past the clock countless times and admire the craftmanship. Excellent documentary showing the care and attention given to restoring this lovely clock to its former glory. Thanks Friends of Brockwell Park and Gillett & Johnston.

I grew up at Leander Road from 1947 until the 60s when we moved to Crownstone Court. Brockwell Park holds a lot of memories for me, especially on Sundays when mum used to take us up to the "Big House" for an ice lolly or a bottle of pop, and sandwiches on the green. I went to Effra Parade School and often cut through the park on the way home. There was always a smell of burning timber and masonry dust in the air as old Victorian houses made way for Council Estates, and of tar blocks as the tram lines were dug up. I had a great childhood back then and left the area in 1969 when I married. There will always be a place in my heart for Brockwell Park. That chosen colour for the clock was almost identical to how I remember it. As I recall, all the iron railings in the park were painted dark green too, as were the swings.

I’ve never seen such a bunch of unqualified bodge artists at work before. The original Green was on the inside of the door and used on the clock mechanism ironwork. But they couldn’t work that out 🤦🏻 what a terrible restoration. I hope they didn’t charge much 🤨

@@person_1473 Hello Charlie, Good town Leeds. But to visit the clock, if you don't want to drive, then take a train to Euston or coach to Victoria Station, then Victoria Line tube to Brixton and it's a 10 minute walk to Brockwell Park. But the Tritton Clock looks exactly as it does in the film. I can send you photographs if that would do.

These repairers have never done a mechanics apprenticeship - heat by welding torch, blow lamp or eddy current coils, is the way to loosen rusted-in tight nuts and bolts.
