The Courier joins search for Dundee's Caird Hall clock

On Saturday 9 October 2010 Dundee's edition of The Courier newspaper publicised the Transport Museum's search for what happened to the Corporation Transport Department clock fixed to the side of the Caird Hall.

We have checked with Dundee City Council's Museum and Art Galleries division and they have no record of it having been transferred to their care. Could it really just have been disposed of when it was taken down?

The earliest dated picture we have of the clock in place is from September 1951:



This photograph is most likely from 1974 or 1975 and by this time the clock has been removed:


In fact the marks left by the clock are still visible today.

If you can help us in our search for the clock and its history please leave us a comment below or get in touch through our contact page.
