glo[16] - clock

Another reason to look up in Southgate.
Above this beautifully preserved Edwardian shop front to G A Baker's and sons, Jewellers is the Baker's Clock. This chiming clock was built in 1904. The bells are struck on the quarter hour by the figures. These are, from left to right - an Irishwoman, an Englishman (John Bull), Old Father Time, a Scotsman and a Welshwoman - which looks like it should be the first line of a joke.
