The George Hotel, Darlington

The dial is just below the roof-line, one block to the left of the main door. It is painted in black on a white stone diamond. It shows hours VII - XII - IIII - VI, though with VI, VII and VII reversed. These numerals are read from the inside, the others from below. Hour lines run to a double circular arc around the gnomon root, and half hours are marked with a short line and triple dot. Compare SRN 0830, 0831 and 0832 at Hurworth, just 9 miles away. 0830 is by William Emerson and 0832 is by C Hunter, thought to be a pupil of his.
