E J Knibbs

This clock hangs on a wall in my kitchen. It is unusual in that it chimes, hence the two holes for winding. Unfortunately I cannot find anything out about Mr Knibbs the clockmaker!

How interesting and a lovely perspective

Hi Catherine John Knibb DOB 21/1/1650 Clayton Oxford shire DOD 18/7/1772 taken from Wikipedia

I have found him on Ancestry. His full name is Edwin John Knibbs and he was born in Oxford in 1867. He was married to Emma Elizabeth and on the 1911 census they lived in Bournemouth. He is listed as a jeweller and shopkeeper. They had four children and one had died.

A lovely clock, and I really like your composition.

The opening shot of a 1940s thriller Catherine. The Boscombe Strangler, something like that.

That's a really good POV and really suits the image

Great shot and lovely old clock.

@dawnee Thank you so much Dawnee, this is very interesting. I am not sure this clock is as old as that but don't know.

@onewing Wow Babs! Thank you so much for finding this. I am going to write this down and put it in the clock. So interesting.

@joysabin Thank you - I love old clocks - have too many of them and they all chime together (almost!!)

@paul10 Thank you Paul.

@cmp Thank you.

@chillen A man wearing a mac and a hat, standing under the clock before The Boscombe Strangler strikes......

@suesouthwood I tried several different view points, straight on definitely didn't work!
