Forums Forums Thread Like Summary - PLATT - Wirral Colliery

In a secondhand shop today, I spotted a beautiful gilted marble mantel clock. On it was a brass placard which said the clock was present to Mr Platt by the workers of Wirral Colliery on his marriage in 1896. I will take my camera tomorrow and may even buy the clock if the price is right. The clock isn't in brilliant condition but an interesting piece of Wirral history. I can't remember if it was James Platt or W Platt, that's why I normally carry my camera!
