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.
Commemorates HM the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. A gap between tails of dolphins shows Mean Time on a dial plate where the hour lines (and 10 minute divisions) are drawn to accommodate the EoT. Two dialplates serve for one year. The BST dial plate shows from 9am to 6pm. The dial plate height is 350 mm. It bears in the top left corner ’Christopher St J H Daniel delineavit’; bottom left ’Larry O’Connell caelavit’ [carved it]; bottom right ’Edwin Russell sculpsit’; and top right ’For now is all the time there may be’. Supported on an octagonal stone column.
The dial was installed in 1977 at the rear of the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich. It was moved up the hill to its present position in the grounds of the Royal Observatory on 23 June 2009. Ref: Sundials Shire Album 176, C Daniel, Shire Publications, 1993 and 2004.
