Clock Restoration, Brockwell Park, Herne Hill.

Brockwell Park, south London. The Tritton Clock, a mini Ben, installed in 1897, had stopped and needed a complete overhaul. The film follows the restoration by Gillett and Johnston,
the original maker, and the wonderful team of restoration engineers and the Lambeth Council restoration committee.

We've walked past the clock countless times and admire the craftmanship. Excellent documentary showing the care and attention given to restoring this lovely clock to its former glory. Thanks Friends of Brockwell Park and Gillett & Johnston.

I grew up at Leander Road from 1947 until the 60s when we moved to Crownstone Court. Brockwell Park holds a lot of memories for me, especially on Sundays when mum used to take us up to the "Big House" for an ice lolly or a bottle of pop, and sandwiches on the green. I went to Effra Parade School and often cut through the park on the way home. There was always a smell of burning timber and masonry dust in the air as old Victorian houses made way for Council Estates, and of tar blocks as the tram lines were dug up. I had a great childhood back then and left the area in 1969 when I married. There will always be a place in my heart for Brockwell Park. That chosen colour for the clock was almost identical to how I remember it. As I recall, all the iron railings in the park were painted dark green too, as were the swings.

Does Gillett and Johnston also still make mechanical public clock movements?

[@guyavni3206]

When they take out the clock (or the face of the clock), all I could hear was "brace yourself Rodney. Brace yourself)...
