About the Item
Late 19th century wall clock by Lancashire Watch Co. from British railway station. As the name denotes, Lancashire was primarily a watch company. Opening in 1893 in one of England’s largest factories, the company went head-to-head with American and Swiss watch makers. While their watches were of similar quality and workmanship, the cost of production was high and the margins too low to sustain a profitable company. Lancashire declared bankruptcy in 1923.
Extremely rare, this wall clock is from the limited line of clocks Lancashire produced for railway stations and schools. Expertly cleaned and serviced, this clock runs beautifully, keeping accurate time. The viewing glass is faceted and enclosed by a brass surround. There is some wear to the face from the hands rubbing against it. The name of the company’s location, Prescot, is etched on the lower half of the clock face.
A striking, sophisticated clock, the beauty of which makes the passage of time almost palatable. Resonating with the romance and history of so many generations who passed through the rail station, staring up at this clock on their way to meet a train or to board one taking them to war, weddings, business meetings and pleasurable vacations.

- Clock Frame from Original Penn Station Train Waiting Room, 6-ft diameter, c 1910By Stanford WhiteLocated in Madison, WIClock frame from the original Penn Train Station Waiting Room in New York City, circa 1910. The Penn Station Clock, with its significant 6-foot diameter, was suspended above the frenzied crowds in the waiting room. And became a popular rendezvous location through the years for millions of travelers, warriors, lovers and friends. A movie "The Clock" (1945) showcased these rendezvous and the dramas that ensued. Penn Station, the building that housed the clock, is considered a magnum opus of the 20th century. A magnificent example of the Beaux-Art style. Its demolition to the ground beginning in 1963 created an uproar of anger and disbelief, sending shockwaves through the city and the world. "When the Old Penn Station Was Demolished, New York Lost Its Faith."--The New York Times declared. And lost most of the precious artifacts from the building, trucked to landfills or taken home by those working the site. The Penn Station clock disappeared. Until now. The Penn Station clock frame, forged in iron, its roman numerals hammered out on an anvil, represents an American icon of illustrious provenance and backstory. In famous photos of the old Waiting Room, the clock stands out as a beacon suspended beneath the vaulting, 138-foot high ceiling. More than a 100 years old, 60 of those in obscurity, this is one of a few prominent architectural elements to have survived the demolition of the monumental Pennsylvania Station...Category
