Canvey Island Dial

An investigation into an incomplete modern sundial/sculpture located in Canvey Island, Essex, found to have unlabelled 'hour' marks. The piece was part of an ambitious 2012 project intended to be a giant 8-metre sculpture resembling a Thames barge mast. It was never fully completed, and its accuracy is questioned, suggesting the need for professional restoration.
