Stroud Town Council gives an extra £2,000 to finish off the Blackboy Clock restoration as well as funding a new plaque to go up at the site. This plaque reads: ‘The Blackboy Clock was made by John Miles of Kendrick Street, Stroud in 1774. It is the only working Jack Clock movement in Gloucestershire. It was restored by Mr A J Nicholls, MBHI, of Bristol in 2004 with assistance from Stroud Town and Stroud District Councils.’
