“ The clock on top of the building on the left-hand side of the photo, halfway down the street was on top of Potts's Furniture shop. Legend has it that from being new it hardly worked at all. In our home anyone who was standing still was referred to as 'standing there like Potts's clock'. To this day he clock is still stationary. It brings a smile to my face every time I see it, bringing back echos of the past. ”
