Long Description:Arnside is a small village on the edge of the Kent Estuary at the
head of Morecambe Bay. The promenade includes a selection of small
shops and the village gets a surprising number of visitors to enjoy
the view across the bay to the hills of the Lake District.
At the summit of the prom stands this clock. Perched atop a
stone column is this old clock. The copper casing has gone green
and the white hands stand out. They do continue in their circular
course, but not very accurately, and it is still set to BST.
At the rear of the bay in which the clock stands, is a plaque
recording the dedication to the Rev. J.M. and Mrs Blandford and
their daughters, of Oakfield 1895-1935.
