Shiphams was a local factory for making meat paste. I remember a time when you could smell a fresh batch being cooked. The factory is now residence and the factory has been moved to a different location. The click is a great reminder of what used to be in this area.

Interestingly when JackieR go fossicking we often find really old Shiphams paste jars.
As seen here
This was taken at 11.50 so the clock is obviously wrong. Well it is right twice a day.
Does it keep the right time? Very often they are left there as a decoration. This one looks beautiful in mono and your capture is great and has great detail.
Perhaps they don’t change it for daylight savings time! Terrific capture of this interesting subject. I’m going to have to look up what meat paste is because it sounds nasty!
I like the vintage sign and clock. I've never heard of meat and fish pastes. So of course I had to do a little research. It must not be very common in the US of A. The only references to them that I recognized were anchovy paste and potted meat. I'm not sure I've ever had the former and will not touch the latter again (nasty!).

Along with a fellow 365’r we look for old bottles that have been buried in the mud on a low tide .
Check my narrative and I have added a blue Here. If you click on that you will hopefully find more info under a previous photo from a New Year’s Day.

My parents used to buy “Pecks” pastes which were imported from UK. I understand they closed down a couple of years ago.
