Ron\u2019s contribution to our branch over many years is immeasurable. A past chairman and the driving force behind our very successful workshop, Ron has also written a most respected book, \u201cEnglish Dial Clocks.\u201d With over 50 years of experience in the trade this promises to be an evening to remember.<\/p>\n<p>Ron\u2019s talk will aim to portray the lives of three Clockmakers. James Cole, the father, James Ferguson Cole, the eldest son and his younger brother Thomas Cole.<br \/>\nThe two brothers are credited with ingenuity and skills, easily matching all of the famous names of the time, but where did their inspiration come from? With two, 15 minute duration videos, the talk will attempt to suggest the answer, and shift some of the praise to another.<br \/>\nMany of the clock photographs have not been seen before and include a wide range of types and styles. Longcase, bracket, carriage clocks were normal, but tripod, strut, diamond, table top, book cover and dressing table clocks, emphasise not just unusual but absolutely unique.<\/p>\n<p>As you will read in our newsletter we are also very pleased to welcome Dudley Giles Hon FBHI, CEO of the BHI at Upton Hall who will be giving us an update on developments at the BHI.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1419 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/slbbhi.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ThosColeBracketClock007_web.jpg\" alt=\"ThosColeBracketClock007_web\" width=\"188\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slbbhi.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ThosColeBracketClock007_web.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.slbbhi.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ThosColeBracketClock007_web-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 188px) 100vw, 188px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1417 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/slbbhi.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ColeyearminiatureLC020_web.jpg\" alt=\"ColeyearminiatureLC020_web\" width=\"182\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slbbhi.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ColeyearminiatureLC020_web.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.slbbhi.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ColeyearminiatureLC020_web-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 182px) 100vw, 182px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Monthly branch meetings are normally held at the The White Hart Barn in Godstone<\/p>\n<p>THE WHITE HART BARN<\/p>\n<p>(Godstone Village Hall)<\/p>\n<p>GODSTONE<\/p>\n<p>SURREY RH9 8DU<\/p>\n<p>7.30 pm for 8.00 pm Start<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE COLE FAMILY CLOCKMAKERS Ron Rose FBHI For our July talk we welcome our Vice President Ron Rose FBHI.
