Polnish, Warminster

The dial was installed in 1996 high on the west gable of Polnish, 40 Imber Road, and was visible from the road. In 2022 it was relocated to its present position. The motto reads: ’Non Moror’ (I do not stop). The dial is surmounted by a Midland compound locomotive model and signal, and commemorates the centenary of the house at its original location (1892 - 1992). It takes the form of a stylistic railway line, with the sleeper edges forming the time lines, and the shadow of the sun runs up the railway line. There was a brass Equation of Time plate below (adjusted for longitude).
