The Wellgate Clock, Dundee [4k]

2023-07-01
There was no 4k footage of the clock online that I could see of, so I thought it would be good to capture and share the full 12 door nursery rhyme cycle. Unfortunately, it's needing some TLC. Here's some info from Wiki:
The Wellgate is notable for being home to an automated clock, the Wellgate Clock, which is located on the second floor next to the Central Library and has been in operation since it was installed in the centre in September 1978, months after the centre opened.
The Wellgate Clock is on the second floor of the centre
The clock was manufactured by Haward Horological Ltd. The clock has been a meeting point for couples and families and watching the clock was considered a magnet to Dundonian life on Saturday's in the city and is popular among locals and visitors to the centre.

Thank you for posting this. Talking to my friend from England that lived in Dundee for uni, and they had never seen the clock going off so I showed her this.

The first song (before the hour strike) is possibly "Humpty Dumpty Sat On A Wall". Edit (Sunday/21-04-2024) Holy heck, the fourth one is Yankee Doodle!

I used to be dead scared of it when I was younger, the lions eyes used to open and the 2 black birds on top used to move
