Blackboy Clock mechanism breaks

The Stroud News reports in 1946 that the mechanism of the Blackboy Clock has not worked ‘for a number of years’, but that there is a ‘distinct revival of the sentiment for the quickening of the Black Boy of Stroud’. The publication date of this article suggests that damage might have occurred during World War II.
