Restoration of Hillsborough's Courthouse Clock

“Originally the clock would have been wound once a week manually and the bronze bell struck every hour of the day...” We’re excited to announce that the Courthouse clock opposite Hillsborough Castle is chiming again for the first time in 30 years. The clock face, hands and mechanism were taken down, re-gilded in a studio in Belfast, sent to Cumbria for inspection, and re-installed. Conservators David Orr and Ruth Bothwell tell the clock’s story... #AntiqueRestoration
