Southampton Village E. Howard Clock - Another Threatened Installation
I just ran across this story of another clock installation that caught my attention. 5 generations of care and more than a 140 years of tradition are being threatened by the installation of a cell tower inside the church's steeple, which would make caring for the clock impossible and ultimately force the clock to be removed or replaced with a modern electric clock. Just another example of how and why these tower clocks are being threatened. Please visit Dan's Papers to read more about the story and the Corwin family.
