BRIDOL is the British Sundial Society's Register of Fixed and Mass Dials, which gives detail and photographs of about 8000 fixed sundials and 3000 mass dials in the UK.
Some of these are in private gardens, but the majority are publicly available.
The dial is at the junction of Monmouth and Earlham Streets. It is a copy of a dial which was erected in 1694 and demolished by a mob in 1773 and then re-erected in Weybridge in 1822. There are six vertical dials on a tall pillar 8m high (estd). Each dial is elliptical with axes about 600 x 400, and painted with a blue background, yellow/gold Arabic numerals and stainless steel gnomons. Time is shown in hourly intervals thus: N 5-8am & 4-7pm; NE 5-11; SE 4-2; S 6-6; SW 10-8; NW 1-7. Restored in 1993.
