The Shire Hall was built in 1930 & features a three sided town clock (added after 1946) in memory of Alex J Simpson, who was the Chairman of the Council from 1925 to 1946. The cost of the clock was met by public subscription.
The clock doesn't have numerals but rather each face has the letters A.L.E.X.J.S.I.M.P.S.O.N.
