On a cold and frosty morning it was good to see the sun shining on the Edmonds clock tower.
North side of Edmonds clocktower showing Father Time.
This north side has the inscription ’Faith’. Other sides have Hope, Peace, and Charity. The clock, which can be seen on the east and west sides, is always about ten minutes slow. This is fine for commuters who are aware of its idiosyncrasies, but I sometimes wonder whether strangers get confused. On the north and south sides there is a medallion depicting Father Time who resembles Thomas Edmonds, the benefactor who paid for the clock to be erected in 1929.
“I wish the clock could just reflect
an hour and minute that’s correct.”
