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.

This skeletal dial is on the front of the building facing Gorey Harbour. It is made from black painted steel bars and attached gold painted numerals. It has hour lines for 7am to 6pm with numerals from 8 to 5. Uses ’O’ for Noon and IV (and IX incorrectly for eleven!). The hour lines extend across the chapter ring and under the numerals. A semicircle at the gnomon root is infilled with scrollwork, but no gnomon is fitted.
The layout appears to be for a declination of 10 deg west, which does not match the wall and so the dial was probably moved from elsewhere.
