The Quay, Ipswich

Modern stainless steel sundial in the form of a toothed wheel, the emblem of the Rotary Club, with a similar motif in the gnomon support. Arabic numerals show the time in BST from 6am to 8pm, in 30, 10 and 2 minute divisions. There is a 32-point compass rose at the centre and a degree scale around the perimeter, marked with a tooth of the wheel, and labelled, every 15 deg. The dial is inscribed : ’Service Above Self / Presented to the People of Ipswich / by the four Rotary Clubs / Celebrating 100 years of Rotary 1905 - 2005’. The sundial is fitted to an octagonal stone top on a brick plinth, which carries an information plaque with an Equation of Timegraph. Latitude and Longitude is also indicated.
