What happened to the Corporation clock on the Caird Hall?

Over the past few months I've been trawling through literally hundreds of photographs of Dundee's city buses from 1912 to 1998 for our forthcoming exhibition.

It has been great seeing so many views from the past and hopefully you'll enjoy seeing a small selection of them in the Central Library from 22 October - 6 November 2010.

However one picture in particular got me thinking. There used to be a magnificent clock mounted on the side of the Caird Hall at the Crichton Street/Shore Terrace junction. But where is it now?

I'm guessing it may have been taken down when Tayside House was built, but was it simply disposed of or has it been put into safe storage?

If the clock still exists how about putting it back in the same place when Tayside House is demolished and the area opened up again?

If the clock had indeed been lost, then maybe a replica could still be created and put back in place?
