Tollcross Clock's Restoration: A Century of City Heartbeat
Description
Edinburghs Iconic Clock Set for Restoration: A Century-Old Timepiece Returns
After being removed due to cracks in 2022, the vintage clock at Tollcross, installed in 1901, is finally headed for restoration. The city council has approved £72,572 from their common good fund for the project. Crafted by local maker James Ritchie and Son, the clock has evolved from a pendulum piece to spring-driven and then electric. Its significance to the neighborhood is evident, as it was quickly returned after being removed in 1974. The restoration process is set to begin as early as next month, with the clock expected to return to its original location next year.
