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.

12, High Street, Bexhill-on-Sea

The dial is fitted in a recess at first floor level, above the front door. It appears to be a thin stone plate, with engraved lettering and possibly originally painted white. The gnomon is a metal plate with sinusoidal lower edge. The upright numerals are for BST, VIII - XII - IV - VII, with the I on the vertical. Long hour lines to a small semicircle around the gnomon root, and no subdivisions. Across the top is ’Tempus Fugit’, and in very small type across the bottom are ’Summer Time’ and ’F E [or L?] 1988’
