Liverpool and Birkenhead GWR - 3rd Jun 2012 4:53pm
Hi
Yesterday we purchased a clock with a plaque on it giving us some information about a previous owner and I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of more information on it.
The plaque says it was presented to Mr & Mrs Thornton as a token of esteem by the Liverpool & Birkenhead staff of the GWR on his retirement after 50 years service Dec 1929.
Any suggestions how to find out some more about him and how the clock ended up at a Sea Cadets Jubilee Fete?
