The Clock at Morningside

A early morning trip to a Physiotherapist in Morningside to explore whether physiotherapy help the Bell's palsy condition - it's so cold but the clock stands out worthy of getting snapped.
I found a earlier shot that I took in 2015 see Morningside Clock
which had the following caption
""Surely one of the most iconic images of Morningside is the Station Clock which has stood at the foot of Morningside Road (off and on) since it was gifted to the city by Messers Inches, Inman and Torrance, the then councillors for the Morningside ward in 1910 – a time when it was possible to travel by train from Morningside to Waverley via Haymarket in precisely 13 minutes!

The structure itself is an example of east-west collaboration by leading craftsmen of the time – the ironwork pillar supplied by Walter MacFarlane & Co. of Glasgow and the clock mechanism by James Ritchie & Son of Edinburgh. The craftwork of these fine Scottish companies can still be seen all over the UK, Europe and even further afield in exotic locations such as Singapore and Brazil.

The clock has of course been a familiar landmark for generations of locals and travellers alike. The writer can remember when on long trips from Dumfriesshire to visit Edinburgh as a small boy in an Austin Cambridge – sight of the clock meant that we really were ‘almost there’. And then all of sudden – the clock wasn’t there anymore!

The clock disappeared in the late Sixties during modification of the road junction and, as Charles Smith noted in his Historic South Edinburgh volumes, after it failed to re-appear after some considerable time ‘many residents made enquiries in official quarters’ which pre-empted its return, complete with new electrics installed, to restore familiar perspective of the of the station area in 1968."
