| Clocks were once made locally, in large and small towns, even villages. Now we have,
mostly, mass produced clocks. There was a period where movements and dials and bells
were produced en mass, in Birmingham and other places, and the clock assembled locally,
perhaps using a local cabinet maker. |

a thorough going study for the whole of Cumbria. |
