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 is at the entrance to Bouverie Street, painted on the east-facing side wall of 61 Fleet Street. It shows the hours from 6am to 11am, with Arabic numerals on the left hand side. The titles of five early newspapers are displayed between the hour lines, which spread diagonally across the dial face. The gnomon is a 4-metre bar mounted at the top left corner. One of the three plaques at eye-level gives information about the sundial including an EoT graph.
The dial was designed by Piers Nicholson, delineated by Kevin Karney and Chris Lusby-Taylor, and painted by Steven Whitaker.
