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 heavy black dial sits on a plinth of Bath stone by the side of the path running about 100m NE from Bath Deep Lock. It is near the Horseshoe Walk end of the Widcombe flight of the canal. Around the northern edge is inscribed ’Time is the waterway of all our days - we are dreamers on its banks’, and at the south is ’The Kennet & Avon Canal / 1810 - 2010’. The gnomon is closely covered with the raised names of goods and materials carried on the canal, and the professions of the men who worked on it. The sculptor was Alan Dun.
Hours are marked in the broad circular chapter ring from 6am to 6pm using Arabic numerals 6 - 18 and 7 - 19 to indicate GMT and BST.
