A quick update on the Nottingham Water Clock.
We now have steel fabricators in place who can carry out the works to the main steel frame. Mark Dewar of Lycett Fabrications in Tamworth will be taking the frame into their workshop early next week to start work extending the legs, remodelling, replacing and generally returning it to its original form.
Sorrill and Coley, silversmiths of Birmingham will be assembling the missing Butterflies for the Cobweb Water Wheel using elements supplied by Steve Milner and David Griffiths.
Shelley Thomas, blacksmith and jeweller at the Kew Steam Museum will be forming the leaves and flowers missing from the Cobweb Water Wheel and central Bouquet.
The first of the lattices from the Central Control Box is away being copper plated with the others to follow after soda blasting. The colours of the main frame and Control Box will be identified from samples early next week.
