Walter Buckeridge, Calne

Walter Buckeridge was born on 7th July 1878 the son of Albert, a grocer. in the 1901 census he was a listed in business in Market Place Chippenham as a watchmaker. 

Directories in 1903 and 1907 list him at 12, High Street, Calne, but by 1911 the business had been disposed of. The location of the business suggests he must have been connected with the famous Buckeridge family whose shop in that vicinity ran on until the 60/70's as a wine merchant on the same side of "town hill" as the town gardens.

This is a rather petit  8 day dial clock. It has an ebonised surround and strikes the hours on a bell.
