Reporter, BBC Midlands Today
Peter Wagner from Worcestershire has made a fully-working, smaller version of the original 25ft Festival Clock commissioned by Guinness for Battersea Pleasure Gardens.He had visited the original clock as a child, the Pershore resident explained. A more recent visit to the Guinness factory in Dublin, where there is a scale model of the original, "took me back to my childhood," he added.
The original mechanical clock struck every 15 minutes, bringing a frenzied burst of activity around a central revolving stage, including a zoo keeper and animals advertising Guinness.
