Minack Theatre, Penzance

This Spot-On dial was installed by the Bros Theatre Company who have been performing at the Minack since 1993. It shows 6am - 6pm, with GMT hours in Roman, and BST in Arabic numerals, divided to 10 and 5 minutes. The inscriptions are not clear (better photo requested), but include the location, probably as ’50 N - 5.5W’. The circular dial stands at ground level on two square base plates, possibly marble and blue slate.
