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 Rodmill Drive, Eastbourne

The dial is on the end wall of the house, facing the street, between two ground floor windows. Across the top is the motto ’Redeem the Time’, deeply inscribed and gilded, and in the bottom right hand corner is lightly inscribed ’D HARBER MCMXCVII’. The house wall faces about 30° east of south and the dial shows 5am to 3pm with upright Roman numerals, divided to half and quarter hours, all gilded. The gnomon is an unsupported rod, painted blue to match the slate, and may have become displaced as it currently lies about vertically and the time keeping is consequently incorrect.
