The clock erected in 2000 stands on a triangle of grass at the corner of Manchester Road and Manchester New Road. Behind it used to be the Greyhound pub. That was demolished many years ago and the site is earmarked for housing. In the background is an electricity sub station. One of the lamps in the foreground carries a flag featuring a rainbow and the words Thank you NHS.
