Re: The Arndale Clock
There's a campaign just started on Facebook to get the clock brought back. Someone, not sure who, seems to know where it is hiding.

Re: The Arndale Clock
Maybe a good vote winner for next May
I am sure we must have a Councillor or 20 that read these pages. Maybe someone will pick this up and run with it. Might be as good as CCTV or bowls

Re: The Arndale Clock
I do remember seeing the clock but in my memory it is in a much bigger arndale...... was it bigger or was it just because i was small?

Re: The Arndale Clock
I think the Observer got a bit carried away when it claimed a local website had saved the clock. We tried, but it never came out of the Arndale cellars despite our best efforts. If I recall correctly Kipax had some correspondence with the Arndale owners about it.
