Remember the beautiful clock on platform 7? In the mid to late 60s I spent every weekend searching through Snow Hill (oh the things I found) including the subway and former Hotel. One weekend my pal came with me and we climbed up and both got inside the back of that clock. A few years later it was sold to a chap who had met his future wife beneath it! I have always wondered what became of that clock--its out there somewhere, anyone know?
I notice on the Snow Hill post that a couple of posters worked at Snow Hill so does anyone remember Cyril Hall, he worked in the Signal & Telegraph department in the 50/60s and he also had a fruit and vegetable shop opposite the College Arms on the Stratford Road, Cyril arranged for me to spend an evening on the footplate of the Pliot, a Tyesley Hall. I even got to drive it! Imagine me, a 12 year old schoolboy in short trousers, driving a Hall in Snow Hill station--still cant belive it!
