Clock Restored

When we moved into the Old School the clock wasn’t work due to most of the internal mechanism being missing.  After two years, we were able to get the clock restored and back to its former glory. 

Restoration completed by Smith of Derby jointly paid for by Nick Dunn Enterprises Limited and Leicester City Council.
