The dial is on the left pillar of an arch at the entrance to the Barracks, below a blue plaque to William Forshaw who was awarded a Victoria Cross in WWII. It shows hours VI - XII -II, with a gnomon gap at IX, and hour and half-hour lines bewteen implicit solstice and horizon curves. The design can also be seen at SRN 8483 and 6018, both also in Tameside.
