5 November (Part 1) - Not the only clock up
Bexleyheath’s
clock may have been
wrong for the past ten days but its counterpart in Sidcup
has, as the old joke goes, been right twice a day.
It is affixed to the old council offices in Sidcup Place and Bexley council has
not bothered to maintain it since they vacated the premises in, well I forget, but several years ago.
It has an interesting history as the plaque makes clear. Generous Mr. Jackson,
born in 1832 or 1833, must be spinning gently while his clock isn’t.
