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 can be seen near the Tube Station, and is 33 degrees out of true in order, apparently, to preserve alignment to the pavement! Not only that but it sits in a deep recess on top of a pink granite cube pedestal 875h which accumulates rainwater. The gnomon has been broken off and is currently in store pending repair (Jan 2001). The dial shows 4am to 8pm in hours. A plaque records that it was placed to mark the Millennium, though the motto just reads: ’Sunny Hours’.
