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.
I assume the clock has been there for yonks? I can't imagine why a bed salesroom would erect a clock on the outside wall?
