Recording points and goals in each half of a senior hurling game?
Not a common event in Stafford...

Enjoying a drop of red.
You've never been past the front of Casa on a Friday or Saturday night then.

I have a general rule not to go past my front door on a Friday or Saturday night.
I have, much against my better judgement, been in the Grapes (once!) on a Saturday - and been treated to paramedics working on someone on the floor whilst the karaoke continued undisturbed...
The hurling I had in mind requires rather more skill - start this at 3:20 for a demonstration.

Trying to work this out, decided to cheat and google what is used 35 minutes at a time. First thing that came up - how long does the average man last in bed. 35 minutes? I think not.

Did cinema reels last 35 minutes? I thought it was more like 20ish...

The 'textured finish' on the concrete is a give-away.
Still struggling with @Len's Lens's clock* above...
* I do feel that I've seen it and the picture may be a clip from a Street View? But the numbers being unpainted is odd...

Just too many things to look at when going round there...

Yes, you're right!! A ripple of applause for you, Sir!! It is in plain sight but you're really looking what's coming around the roundabout rather than looking for the latest time. I've never seen it before either even though I drive past it every day, until is tumbled across it on a Street view hike!!
Over to you @Gramaisc!!

I am prepared to admit that I only found it because I wondered if the Waggon & Horses might have had a clock due to that being such an important junction in the old days - 99% of traffic entering Stafford from the North came down that little road, when there was no Beaconside or motorway.
When I swung the view round, having spotted a factory that I had forgotten, there it was. I've actually walked through that door a few times, but not for many years now.
I am impressed by its state of repair.
That is one of the best we've had on here - in plain public view and in place for the whole of living memory - but rarely noticed.
That building was a hotel at one point - there was a large fire in the early 1970s (I think) - it lost the top storey as a result, and gained a flat roof over the remaining floors.
