Angry Croydon Station

Hi John this is what I read about the clock, I don't understand the bit about the "Onward Platform" was Onward a place or does it mean onward to some other place. It's a bit of a mystery.


A rare early 19th century English fusee' wall clock made around 1830 and possibly from the "Onward" platform of Croydon Railway Station. The mahogany case has a pegged on salt box with a lower rating trap door. The 14" diameter dial is wood in good original condition, complete with movement crack, and is an integral part of the turned mahogany surround. The cast brass bezel is concave and original to the clock. This is a rare large fusee' dial clock in very good condition.
