Yesterday while going through Terminal Market photographs I noticed this clock for the first time.

detail -and it's an amazing clock.




close-up: I'm still trying to make out the lettering.




It's also visible in this aerial from the 1930s.

I was delighted with the discovery because I've often wondered why there was a Clock Street running through the market.

Sadly, the actual clock seems to be missing.

I'm hoping it was moved somewhere, and not destroyed.
